"Pfft ~ Big sister is so timid, it doesn't hurt at all." Gu Yurong smiled with an innocent and complacent expression.

Gu Jinzhu felt depressed.

Imperial Physician Liu helped Gu Yurong to untie the wires skillfully. As he was busy, a commotion sounded out at the door.

Mrs. Jiang pleaded, "Miss Liu, I just came to pay my respects to Imperial Physician Liu. Please let me in."

The willow tree at the door buzzed and said, "Eldest Miss did not say anything. You are not allowed to!"

Mrs. Jiang continued to plead nonstop, and mixed in with the crying sounds of the girls, causing Gu Jinzhu's expression to turn cold. Ping Niang and the few girls who served Gu Yurong all had angry expressions on their faces.

Mrs. Lee was not here today. Her cousin heard about Gu Yurong's case and said that there was an old doctor in the West Temple who was very famous for treating her. Mrs. Lee was in a hurry and went to buy medicine.

He didn't expect Mrs. Jiang to come looking for him again.

Su Ju pushed the curtain and came in. "Miss, Aunt Jiang and Third Lady are kneeling at the door, unwilling to leave no matter what."

Gu Jinzhu obviously knew what Mrs. Jiang was planning, but she didn't have the mood to care about her now. She simply said, "Up to her."

Imperial Physician Liu wrapped Gu Yurong up with another layer of medicine.

Yun Xiang came in with a bronze bowl for the imperial physician to wash his hands. Imperial Physician Liu carried a chest with him as he prepared to leave. Gu Jinzhu brought it out and said rather anxiously, "Elder Liu, my sister's injuries …"

Imperial Physician Liu knew what she wanted to ask, so he sighed, "It's fine now, just apply a few more days of medicine and the scab will form. But with such a big wound, it's hard to avoid a scar."

Gu Jinzhu bit her lips and said anxiously, "Is there no other way?" Is there any medicine to cure Scar, even if it cannot completely calm down, as long as it can be slightly diluted, it will still be okay if it isn't that obvious? "

She looked at him hopefully, only to see Imperial Physician Liu shake his head and say helplessly, "If Fourth Lady hurt on the skin and she's young, it's not impossible for her to fade away. Unfortunately, her wound is too deep, ordinary drugs have no effect, unless —"

He didn't finish his sentence, but Gu Jinzhu knew that he must be talking about the Snow Muscle Cream. She felt waves of despair in her heart.

It was because that pill was so hard to come by that she wanted to ask if there was any other way. But now it seemed like this was the only way for Yurong?

Imperial Physician Liu looked at her and said in a low voice, "This medicine is hard for ordinary people, but San Ye often goes around the court, maybe he can find a way. Eldest Miss should ask San Ye to think of a way."

Gu Jinzhu was stunned. Before she could say anything else, Imperial Physician Liu had already left the room.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang, who was kneeling at the door, rushed over when she saw Imperial Physician Liu coming out and kept kowtowing.

Beside her was Gu Bijin, who had not shown her face for days. Her face was still wrapped in the gauze, and she was also kneeling beside her mother.

Having heard Mrs. Jiang clearly explain the situation, Imperial Physician Liu nodded, "Since Third Lady was also injured, then this old man will follow her. But I can't cure her, so I can't guarantee anymore."

Aunt Jiang was overjoyed. She immediately stood up and invited Imperial Physician Liu to the crabapple courtyard.

Su Ju stomped her feet in anger and could not help but scold, "This Aunt Jiang is too shameless. Obviously, Imperial Physician Liu is here for Fourth Lady to see. It's good that she took the opportunity to invite Imperial Physician Liu away."

Gu Jinzhu's expression was also extremely cold. Imperial Physician Liu only came because of Gu Yiqing. This Aunt Jiang knew how to take advantage of the situation, but she was her father's concubine after all.

Furthermore, she was too preoccupied with her snow muscle frost to care about Aunt Jiang.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Lee returned home. After hearing that Imperial Physician Liu had returned for a visit, she rushed to Green Bamboo Garden s to ask about Gu Yurong's injuries.

Gu Jinzhu had no way to hide it. She told Mrs. Lee about the scar on Rong's forehead, but she didn't know that Mrs. Lee didn't care at all. She mysteriously came over and told Gu Jinzhu that she had bought a Scar dispelling Ointment from outside at a high price, which was said to be very effective.

Gu Jinzhu looked at her in surprise, doubting what she had said. After all, Imperial Physician Liu, the head of the Imperial Physician's Hospital and reputed as the Apricot Forest Imperial Hand, had said that Gu Yurong's injury would definitely leave a scar.

However, Mrs. Lee clearly believed this and happily wanted to take Gu Yurong away.

A large group of servant girls came in and packed up all the things Gu Yurong had worn these days. They then carried a sedan chair over and carefully helped her up. Mrs. Lee thanked Gu Jinzhu and left with her daughter.

A large group of people followed along, and the Green Bamboo Garden that had been bustling for a few days became cold and cheerless again.

In the afternoon, Gu Jinzhu instructed Xiao Cui to get some ingredients from the big kitchen.

Due to the fact that she was reprimanded last time, the kitchen maid did not dare to make things difficult for her. Xiao Cui quickly brought the ingredients that she needed.

Gu Jinzhu personally cooked some small dishes from the south.

4 dim sum, sweet steamed cheese, cinnamon sugar steamed chestnut cake, plum blossom cake and a plate of walnut cake.

There were also two candied fruits, a candied cherry, and a sweet green plum. She added a small bowl of lotus leaf soup which was made from fresh lotus leaves that she had collected from the Backyard. She washed it clean with radish and lotus leaf juice.

In Linan, Old Mistress Yang's appetite was not good. Gu Jinzhu had put in a lot of effort in culinary arts in order to let her grandmother eat more.

After they finished preparing, Su Ju carried the food in a food box. She changed into a set of clothes and walked toward Jingxuan House.

After passing through the center of the Backyard Lake, in less than a quarter of an hour, she saw the courtyard that was hidden within the jade-green trees and flourishing flowers.

Looking from afar, there was a tree that was blooming with oleanders. The sun was setting, and one could faintly see the exquisite pavilion.

There was still a black clothed soldier guarding the door, but it was not the same person from last time. Gu Jinzhu walked over and showed him the jade fish pendant, saying she wanted to meet Third Uncle.

The soldier scanned the item in her hand, but his attitude was a lot more respectful. He asked her to wait at the door before turning around and entering.

Not long later, a green clothed attendant came out and invited her in.

attendant's face was delicate and pretty, and there was a hint of familiarity with him. He was the one she met last time and warned her not to run around.

When she entered the yard, she saw two figures sitting under a tree with a chessboard placed on the stone table in the middle of the yard. Gu Yiqing was playing with a black piece in his hand as if he was thinking about where he was looking at.

Gu Jinzhu hesitated for a moment. She didn't expect anyone else to be here. She wanted to leave, but it was too late. Gu Yiqing raised his head and looked at her.

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, softly calling out, "Third Uncle."

"Why are you here?" Gu Yiqing put down the chess piece in his hands. He wore a green embroidered robe, his black hair was tied around his head, and a white jade hairpin was connected to his hair.
