After Gu Bijin finished smearing the medicine on her face, nanny wrapped some gauze around her and coaxed her to sleep. Only then did Mrs. Jiang and Gu Qingyuan come out.

Mrs. Jiang wiped her tears away with a handkerchief. "Master, Jin is still so young. If her face is ruined, what can we do about it in the future?"

She sobbed and sobbed non-stop. A trace of impatience flashed across Gu Qingyuan's face, "Jin is still young, how can her face not recover?" Furthermore, even if she doesn't recover soon, there's nothing to worry about. In the end, she's still my State Duke's Mansion's girl, and at worst, I'll just raise her for the rest of her life. If not, I'll even recruit a son-in-law for her, and see who dares to say anything! "

Mrs. Jiang was shocked. "Master, is that true?"

"Why aren't you taking it seriously? Do you think I can coax you?" Gu Qingyuan waved his hand, as if Gu Bijin's face really wasn't a big deal.

Mrs. Jiang burst into tears of joy. "Thank you, master. If Jin could stay at home, even if I had to work hard, I would still serve the master for the rest of my life."

Gu Qingyuan helped her up and smiled meaningfully, "Jin is also my daughter, so I will naturally think for her. As for you, think about how to serve the old master."

Mrs. Jiang's face reddened as she hurriedly said, "Master, please sit in the room. I'll find a clever girl to help you wash up." She turned and walked quickly away.

She had already seen the fervor in Gu Qingyuan's eyes clearly and knew that Master had taken a fancy to the girl beside his daughter.

But now that she was getting older, Gu Qingyuan rarely entered her room. Now that the only daughter she could hope for had met with trouble, if she didn't try to win over Gu Qingyuan's heart, the outcome for her and her daughter would be obvious.

Mrs. Yao wasn't the type of person to reminisce about old friendships. If she felt that she was useless, she would probably kick her way out of the way.

Although Gu Qingyuan kept saying that he would raise his daughter and help her find a son-in-law, listening to him was fine. Jin's face didn't even get a bit of love from him when she was young, but now that her face was ruined, how many points could he think of for her?

Therefore, Mrs. Jiang was desperately looking for an external helper. If Gu Qingyuan really doted on that girl, she could be considered to have a helping hand with her indenture contract.

She made up her mind and walked quickly to her daughter's room.

Gu Qingyuan was waiting in Mrs. Jiang's room. After a while, he heard footsteps and turned around to see a girl carrying a basin of water.

She was wearing a pair of soft shoes. She walked quietly, and her figure seemed to curl up even more.

She walked in front of Gu Qingyuan and seemed a little nervous. She knelt down with her head lowered and said with a trembling voice, "Zi Ziyuan will help old master to wash up."

This girl's voice was very good. It was soft and sweet with a slight tremble. In an instant, it had attracted the fire in Gu Qingyuan's heart.

He impatiently reached out and pinched her lower jaw, forcing her to raise her face and teased, "Your name is Ziyuan? "It's rather nice to listen to."

However, the moment he saw her face, his pupils constricted and a look of amazement flashed across his eyes.

The girl's face was deathly pale, and she tightly bit her lips. Her entire body was like a frightened quail, but it was unable to cover the icy beauty in her eyes.

Her delicate eyebrows were like a painting, her clear and bright eyes were filled with long eyelashes slightly trembling, her skin was as fair and flawless as fine porcelain, and her two curved red lips were as tender and alluring as rose petals.

Gu Qingyuan was shocked. He couldn't care about anything else as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The girl was so shocked that she almost died. She turned her head away, causing Gu Qingyuan's lips to fall empty.

She knelt on the ground with tears streaming down her face and continuously kowtowed as she said, "Master, Master, please let this servant go. Ziyuan is willing to work hard for you. Please forgive me, Master."

He then grabbed her wrist and forcefully dragged her onto the bed. With one hand, he wantonly moved over her body as he smiled, "Good girl, now you can work hard for Master, don't be afraid, let Master love you, from now on, you don't have to be a girl, Master will show you the role of an aunt."

That girl was struggling desperately. She was too strong for Gu Qingyuan to hold her down.

Seeing that she was struggling non-stop, Gu Qingyuan's face turned cold. Just as he was about to scold her and get angry, the girl tumbled out of his side, kneeled on the ground and kowtowed with all her might, "It is my fortune that the master dotes on this servant. It's just that this servant's body is inconvenient today. I beg the lord to wait a few more days."

Inconvenient for the body? Gu Qingyuan was stunned, then looked at her suspiciously.

The little girl's face was covered in tears, and she was trembling in fear. She didn't seem to be flustered at all.

With such a beauty, it would be meaningless to just use force. The more Gu Qingyuan saw, the more he liked her. Other than his two daughters Gu Bitong and Gu Jinzhu, he had never seen such a pretty girl.

He nodded and his expression relaxed. He went over to help her up and said, "Since it's not convenient for you today, then forget it. We might as well wait for a few days for Aunt Jiang to give you face.

The girl suddenly raised her head. Her face was pale with fright, but he didn't notice. He comforted her a little more and sent her away.

Aunt Jiang's face was still a little unsightly when she entered the room. She had personally picked the girl herself, but she did not expect to be so ignorant as to refuse the lord's favor. However, she claimed that her body was inconvenient, so there was nothing she could do about it.

Gu Qingyuan had yet to suppress the fire on his body as he hugged Aunt Jiang and fell asleep.

The next day, while Gu Jinzhu was playing chess with Gu Zhiyue under the locust tree in the courtyard, Gu Yurong was kicking a shuttlecock on the side. A colorful feathered shuttlecock was flying up and down nimbly.

Gu Zhiyue waved her hand in front of Gu Jinzhu and called out softly, "Big sister, big sister, what are you thinking?"

Gu Jinzhu came back to her senses and blushed slightly. Looking at the black and white chess pieces, her thoughts somehow wandered back to the time when she was on her way back to Beijing to discuss chess with Gu Yiqing.

He told her, "What is poverty and how to get it all out," and for the first time she saw his iron hand kill.

These days, for some reason, her thoughts drifted to him from time to time, almost involuntarily.

Looking at the chessboard, she smiled and said, "Zhi-er, you seem to have improved quite a bit. I'm afraid that in a few days, you will surpass elder sister."

Gu Zhiyue was extremely happy. She stood up and bowed to her, saying somewhat bashfully, "I'd still like to thank eldest sister for her guidance."

These days, Gu Jinzhu had been grounded and the others had to avoid her. Only Gu Zhiyue and Gu Yurong often came to accompany her, so when the three sisters had nothing to do, they would write and play chess together.
