Gu Jinzhu's expression did not change, but Yun Xiang took in a deep breath, thinking, no wonder people call Second Lady the 'Shengjing Pearl'. This appearance, other than the young miss of her clan, was unrivalled.

Seeing Gu Jinzhu walk in, Gu Bitong didn't get up. She smiled coldly and said, "We haven't seen each other for a few days. Big sister sure is impressive. She even dares to scold my little girl."

Gu Jinzhu ignored the ridicule in her tone and said indifferently, "I don't want to argue with you about anything else. I came here today to ask you something else."

Gu Bitong sat up and raised her eyebrows. "Is this the attitude of a big sister begging for help?" "Sure enough, it's different when you have someone to rely on. You're both a niece, why is Third Uncle so biased? Why don't you see him protecting me?"

There was a coquettish smile on her face, but there was a hint of unconcealable bitterness in her tone. The tassels on her head swayed slightly with her words, emitting a small sound of breaking bones.

Gu Jinzhu didn't want to waste words with her and directly asked, "Have you heard of Snow Muscle Cream?"

"Snow Muscle Cream?" Gu Bitong was so shocked that she almost fell off her bed. "Where did you hear that?"

Gu Jinzhu sat down on a carved lacquered wooden stool and frowned, "What, is this thing very hard to come by?" Didn't they say that it's a secret medicine from the palace that can cause muscle flats, and that Imperial Concubine Shu never gave it to you when you're in and out of the palace? "

"Give it to me?" Gu Bitong seemed to have heard the funniest joke as she stood up and said, "This item is far more than rare. I've heard that the Tianshan Snow Lotus is the main ingredient, and other than the emperor and the empress dowager, none of the concubines in the palace have the right to use it. Only Imperial Concubine Zhu was given a box by the late emperor, and even Imperial Concubine Shu can't get her.

She looked at her, feeling that she really was dreaming. However, after some thought, she quickly understood and said, "Are you doing this for Fourth Sister?"

Gu Jinzhu nodded.

Gu Bitong sneered, "You better give up! If I had it, I would have sent it over to Third Sister a long time ago. "But you really dare to think about it. You actually want to use the Snow Muscle Cream to treat my fourth sister's face. Did you fall for someone else's trick?"

Gu Jinzhu frowned. Gu Bitong did not look like she was lying. She did not expect this item to be more precious than she had imagined!

According to her, ordinary people couldn't get it, not even Consort Shu. How could Third Uncle get it? She couldn't help but suspect that the old man was trying to trick her.

Gu Bitong looked at her furrowed brow and sneered, "You should just make Second Aunt accept her fate. Third Sister's face is also ruined, and she's not the only pitiful person in this world who doesn't have a daughter!" If she were to steal so many benefits from my mother, it would be enough for her to make a decent dowry for her daughter. At that time, if she were to find a poor family to marry off, she would have to spend more money.

Her words were really too harsh. The moment she finished speaking, even Yun Xiang couldn't help but glare at her.

Gu Jinzhu gave her a cold look, and suddenly smiled faintly, "The way things are in this world is not up to anyone. I believe that even if your little sister's complexion is tarnished, there will definitely be someone who will see her in the future. They will not leave her, but their thoughts will always be different than some people who have a good relationship, and they will always want to harm others! Instead, I wish Second Sister the best in marrying into venerable sect and finding a son-in-law! "

Without waiting for Gu Bitong's expression to change, she turned to Yun Xiang and said, "Let's go."

Gu Bitong was so angry that her beautiful face changed. With a flick of her sleeve, she swept all of the tea cups on the table to the ground as she hatefully said, "Gu Jinzhu, just you wait. One day, I will make you kneel down and kowtow nine times!"

Outside the pavilion, Gu Jinzhu's heart felt heavy, as if a huge rock had been pressed down on her.

She didn't expect the Snow Muscle Cream to be so hard to come by that ordinary people wouldn't be able to get it.

But the more it was like this, the harder it was for her to talk to Third Uncle. First, let's not talk about whether Third Uncle could get his hands on it, this thing is too precious.

However, other than finding Gu Yiqing, there was nothing she could do. The wound on Rong's forehead was too big, and she was so small and cute. She couldn't bear to see a big scar on her face in the future.

She really didn't know what to do anymore. Her heart felt heavy, and even her steps felt like lead. As Yun Xiang followed behind her, she didn't dare to make a sound when she saw that her complexion wasn't good.

As soon as they returned to the courtyard, Su Ju came up to welcome them with an awkward expression. "Miss, Aunt Jiang is here."

Gu Jinzhu was stunned, anger rising in her heart.

In the past two days, the entire mansion had been in chaos. The main house and the second house had been fighting several times, and Mrs. Jiang had always been closed up, not showing her head at all. Gu Bijin, the culprit, was also safe and sound, but he didn't know why she would have the face to run all the way here today.

With a 'shua' sound, Gu Jinzhu pushed the curtain aside and entered the room. Mrs. Jiang was sitting on the chair, looking left and right, looking at the white bead curtain in the room with a face full of admiration. Behind her stood a girl in a purple dress.

Upon seeing her, Mrs. Jiang immediately stood up and bowed with a smile. "Greetings, young miss."

Gu Jinzhu looked at her coldly, but didn't say anything. Mrs. Jiang maintained her half-squatting posture, gradually becoming a bit embarrassed as she said, "Eldest Miss?"

Gu Jinzhu walked to the side of the table, and Yun Xiang immediately poured a cup of tea for her. Gu Jinzhu walked to the side of the table, and Yun Xiang immediately poured a cup of tea for her.

"I came to apologize to First Miss on purpose. Jin hurt Fourth Lady a few days ago, and she was also frightened, so I went back to take care of her for a few days. I was really worried, but today I found the time to apologize to Eldest Miss, so I ask Eldest Miss, seeing that Jin is still young and has a pitiful appearance, please spare her."

Aunt Jiang began to sob as she spoke, tears rolling down her cheeks. She looked really pitiful.

Gu Jinzhu, however, did not forget how arrogant and despotic Gu Bijin was as she ruthlessly pushed down Gu Yurong. There wasn't even a trace of pity in her heart.

That day, because she had been soft-hearted for a moment and thought that she had ruined her appearance, she could not bear to refuse her entry. Who would have thought that it would lead to such a disaster?

With a cold gaze and a curve in the corner of her lips, she scoffed. "How funny. Aunt Jiang apologizes, but instead of looking for Second Aunt, she came to my place. Could it be that the one with a bad face is me?"

"This …" Aunt Jiang paused for a moment before she quickly said, "Uh, I heard that Fourth Lady was here, that's why I came to apologize."

Gu Jinzhu raised her brows and said, "Oh, is that so?" That Rong is inside. Go in and tell her. "

However, in the next moment, she suddenly dropped to her knees in front of Gu Jinzhu, grabbed her leg, and cried loudly, "Eldest Miss, forgive Jin for being such a big spender. She's also a pitiful child, and you don't even know what will happen if you ruin her face at such a young age. As long as you are willing to forgive Jin, I won't hesitate to be your slave even if I have to be your slave."
