Su Ju was scolded to the point that she did not dare to stay inside. She walked out of the yard and listlessly sat on the porch.

When Meng Xueyi came over, he saw a girl wearing a green shirt sitting at the foot of the corridor. The spirited look on her usually pretty face was completely gone. She was sitting there with her head hanging low.

He vaguely remembered that this girl was called "Biwan". After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth and asked, "Miss Bi?"

Su Ju raised her head and was suddenly stunned.

A young man dressed in black stood at the entrance of the courtyard. He had a cold expression and sharp eyes. It was Meng Xueyi. She had not seen him for a long time. She asked in surprise, "Guard Meng?"

Meng Xueyi nodded and walked over to her. Su Ju jumped off the bed and smiled, "Brother Meng, are you here to deliver medicine for the little miss?"

"Big Brother Meng" this form of address caused him to pause for a moment. Seeing the undisguised expression of joy on the little girl's face, he nodded and said, "Yes."

He handed the ointment over. Su Ju accepted it gratefully and said, "Thank you for coming. Fortunately, San Ye came back. Otherwise, we wouldn't know what to do."

When she thought of the danger she had just faced, her eyes reddened. She raised her head again with a hopeful expression and said, "Big Brother Meng, will San Ye not leave this time?"

Her thoughts were very simple. As long as Master Gu stayed in the manor, Miss would have a backer. Mrs. Yao would have scruples in the future and wouldn't dare to lay her hands on them again.

Meng Xueyi hesitated. His master has a lot of things to do, how can he have the time to stay in the Gu Mansion! Looking at the girl's shining eyes, he suddenly couldn't bear to say it out loud.

However, Su Ju continued to look happy. "This is great! With Lord Third around, Miss will not have to worry about him in the future."

Although Meng Xueyi's face was cold, she was still a little afraid of him. But now, she felt a little close to him and kept inviting him, "Brother Meng, come in quickly. Miss would like to talk to you. How did you know about the little miss's matter? What a coincidence. "

Meng Xueyi shook his head and refused to go in. He was an outer male so it was inconvenient for him to come in and out of Inner Court.

Su Ju walked him all the way to the door, then remembered something as she warned, "Big Brother Meng, I'm called Su Ju now. Don't call me Miss Bi anymore."

"Su Ju?" Meng Xueyi was stunned. The name from before was fine, why did he change it?

Su Ju lowered her head. A trace of sadness had already appeared on her face as she said softly, "Only Second Lady in the mansion can call me Bi. Earlier, I …" has violated the master's name. "

Meng Xueyi nodded. Looking at the girl who had long since lost her wittiness outside, he sighed secretly. He thought that they must have suffered a lot and turned around to leave, but suddenly said, "Su Ju." "It's also very nice to listen to."

Su Ju was stunned and her brows suddenly lit up. She raised her head and revealed a big smile as she looked at him.

Meng Xueyi felt a burst of uneasiness after being looked at by her, so he turned around and left in big strides.

Su Ju took the medicine and went back to her room, telling Meng Xueyi about what had happened.

Yun Xiang applied medicine to Gu Jinzhu. She carefully applied the ointment to her wrists and the bruises on her body that had been tied up.

The medicine was obviously an excellent medicine. When it touched Gu Jinzhu's skin, she felt a burst of coolness. The burning pain immediately dissipated, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance of mint.

Su Ju said from the side, "Brother Meng said that they also just entered the capital. Master San went to Prince Rui Manor and happened to hear about what happened to Miss, so he came back in a hurry."

"Bodhisattva's blessing indeed. Fortunately, Lord Third returned early. If I had been even a bit late, who knows what might have happened? "However …" She hesitated for a moment but still felt a bit afraid and asked, "Miss, do you think that the madame and her wife will not cause any more trouble?"

Gu Jinzhu shook her head. She didn't know either.

Mrs. Zhen was so angry today that she was ruthlessly rejected. She would definitely find an opportunity to vent her anger in the future. Who knows, the next time, it might not be as simple as closing the Ancestral Hall.

However, Gu Yiqing's strength was beyond her expectations. Not only did he dare to charge through Inner Court and bring her out, he even severely punished Mrs. Zhen's servants.

The only thing she should worry about right now was how long Gu Yiqing could stay in the mansion.

Su Ju hesitated by the side. "Brother Meng said that San Ye will stay at home temporarily, but she didn't say how long he will stay."

"It's only temporary. What if Lord Third goes out, or goes out for disaster relief like this? After leaving for a few months, what will happen to Miss?"

The two girls looked over worriedly. Right now, they were as if they were in a tiger's den, and their relationship with Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Zhen had already broken down. If it wasn't for Gu Yiqing's protection, they wouldn't have been able to protect the young lady.

Gu Jinzhu bit her lips lightly, her heart felt as heavy as a rock. Gu Yiqing couldn't possibly stay in the Gu Mansion any time, so she had to find a way to protect herself.

But for now, what could she do? He could only take things one step at a time.

She thought for a moment, then said to Yun Xiang, "Go and find out when Third Uncle is free. I want to thank him."

"En," Yun Xiang replied before quickly walking out.

Gu Jinzhu's eyes darkened. Right now, she could only hope that Gu Yiqing could stay for a few more days or have a good plan.

However, what made her disappointed was that although Gu Yiqing had come back, he was very busy. He couldn't find anyone for days and didn't let his servants pass on any more messages.

There were no movements from Mrs. Zhen's side, it was just that she couldn't let go of the matter from that day in the end. She had sent a little girl to spread the news, and in the name of "disobedient and unfilial," she was sentenced to imprisonment for three months, and wasn't allowed to take even one step out of the Green Bamboo Garden.

Gu Jinzhu didn't take it to heart if she went out at all. Since she didn't have to pay her respects every day, she was happy to be free.

The food in the kitchen was as usual, but it was slightly more sumptuous than before. There were even some fresh fish sent over every day. Gu Jinzhuxin knew that the group of people with power would not dare to be harsh on her because of Gu Yiqing's staff.

In a remote location on the Backyard, there was an abandoned library not far from the Green Bamboo Garden. Ever since she had been grounded, Gu Jinzhu had either written and painted every day or made a woman out of herself with Fragrance and Su Ju.

Since she had nothing to do, she would often take advantage of the night time to secretly go to the library and pick out some books. The Green Bamboo Garden was so remote that even if she sneaked out at night, no one would know.

The library had been abandoned for a long time, and was where Gu Qingyuan used to study. Later on, the Gu family built a new garden and moved the study to the front yard. Gradually, no one came.

Gu Jinzhu carried a lamp and carried her skirt up the wooden stairs. Ever since she discovered this bookstore, she had been coming here almost every night. Therefore, Su Ju and Yun Xiang didn't follow her and knew that she would go back once she picked a few books.

Gu Jinzhu placed the lamp on a mottled wooden table in the middle of the room and began to study it along the bookshelf.
