Being stared at by a stranger, Gu Jinzhu felt uncomfortable for a moment. She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Zhu has prepared some snacks and wants to invite Third Uncle to have a taste."

Before Gu Yiqing could say anything, the white-clothed scholar's eyes lit up. He closed his fan and laughed, "Is there anything to eat?" "Wonderful, it looks like we can't make it in time!" Su Ju said as she placed her hand on the box.

Su Ju took the box with a meaningful glance and placed the pastries on the stone table before adding softly, "Master San, this was personally made by the young lady herself!"

Before Su Ju finished her sentence, Gu Jinzhu's face had already turned completely red.

Gu Yiqing looked over with a surprised expression. The white-clothed scholar's eyes were already glowing. He picked up a plum blossom cake and put it in his mouth. He shook his head and said, "Mmm, sweet but not greasy. Delicious. Eldest Miss's craftsmanship is pretty good."

Being praised so highly, Gu Jinzhu was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. Her face was flushed to the extreme.

Gu Yiqing smiled at her and said, "This is Mr. Lu."

He did not explain this scholar's identity, so Gu Jinzhu had no choice but to bless herself and greet the scholar. "Mister Lu."

The scribe cupped his hands together and smiled, "I don't dare to be Eldest Miss's gift. Eldest Miss must have something to do this time, so I will take my leave first."

He bowed to Gu Yiqing and walked towards a plate of honey-stained cherries.

Gu Jinzhu pursed her lips and felt a little heartache. She had spent an entire afternoon on these things, but a plate of them had been taken away before Third Uncle had even tasted them.

Gu Yiqing saw her pained expression and felt that it was funny. He waved at her and said, "Come here."

Gu Jinzhu's heart skipped a beat. She slowly walked over and sat across from him.

Su Ju and attendant also retreated, allowing the two of them to talk.

The setting sun quietly sprinkled onto Gu Jinzhu's body. The girl's head was slightly lowered, her eyes as delicate as a painting. She wore a moon-white dress, and the wind blew against the corner of her dress, causing her to appear slightly uneasy.

Gu Yiqing could see that she was a bit nervous, so he stuffed a green plum into his mouth and said, "Not bad, you have it."

His expression changed, and his handsome face suddenly scrunched up into a ball, unable to continue talking.

Gu Jinzhu looked up and exclaimed, "Third Uncle."

She saw that his face was so sour that his entire face was wrinkled. This was the first time that a handsome immortal had shown such a fiery expression. For some reason, she couldn't help but laugh out loud as she pursed her lips.

That green plum was eaten along with the honey on the side dish. It was sour and astringent, but with the honey on it, it was very appetizing. She sent it over to him to let him eat it as an appetizer, but before she could tell him, he had already eaten the green plum.

Gu Yiqing only felt a sour taste in his mouth that almost made his teeth fall. He saw Gu Jinzhuwei on the opposite side, smiling so hard that her eyes curved and her red lips were pursed. The depressed look on her face was gone.

He suddenly had a thought. Gu Jinzhu was way too calm and collected, and it was rare for her to be laughing so unrestrainedly. Such a beautiful girl was currently showing off her beauty, like a blossoming rose blooming under the setting sun.

Gu Yiqing slightly raised his face and said deliberately, "You must be teasing Third Uncle on purpose, right?"

Seeing that he was angry, Gu Jinzhu immediately became flustered. She stood up and held onto her clothes with both hands as she said, "Right." "Sorry Third Uncle, I didn't expect you to drink tea so quickly."

She hurriedly poured a cup of tea for him and personally brought it to his lips.

The two of them were so close at the moment, Gu Yiqing could clearly see that her cheeks were slightly red, and her skin that was as thin as creamy was covered with a layer of faint beauties.

Her slender white fingers held the teacup, and her long eyelashes fluttered uneasily, like the wings of a frightened butterfly. Her red lips pursed, moist and red, like the most tender dew.

Gu Yiqing suddenly felt his mouth go dry. He could even smell the faint fragrance of the Gardenia on her body. Just like that night, her smell was already engraved in his mind.

His heart felt like it had been brushed by a feather, and an indescribable tingling went through his body. The girl was so close to him that he could easily wrap his arm around her slender waist.

It was as if a wave of heat was slowly rising from the bottom of his heart. He didn't notice that his eyes had already become somewhat heavy.

Sensing a trace of thought in her heart, he was startled. He took the teacup from her hand and drank it all in one gulp.

The slightly cold tea water extinguished the flame that had just risen in him. His expression gradually calmed down, and even had a trace of coldness that he had never felt before. "What brings you here?"

Gu Jinzhu was stunned. In just a split-second, she noticed the change in Gu Yiqing's expression. His expression instantly turned cold, just like when she first met him.

Third Uncle was a little unfamiliar with this situation. She unconsciously took a step back and her heart froze, "My …"

Her thoughts were in a mess and she didn't know how to reply. Gu Yiqing, who had turned cold, gave off a silent pressure that made people not dare to act rashly. It also drew a distance between them.

Now that he was sitting there with his expression unchanged, she felt that he was different from before. Third Uncle was like this and she didn't dare to open her mouth.

"What? Are you alright?" He frowned slightly as he looked over.

Gu Jinzhu steeled her heart and suddenly knelt down. She looked up and said, "Third Uncle, please save Yurong."

"Rong?" Frowning, he turned to look at Zhang Xuan with a puzzled expression.

Gu Jinzhu repeated Imperial Physician Liu's words, but she was still a bit worried and said, "Rong is young, it would be a pity if her face was ruined. However, the Snow Muscle Cream is too rare.

She also knew that it was too rare, but other than Gu Yiqing, she had no other choice. Gu Yurong was injured in her yard, if she couldn't get a cure, she would never be able to feel at ease for the rest of her life.

Gu Yiqing didn't say anything. He stood up, walked to the side of the courtyard and looked outside.

A gust of wind blew over, causing the leaves above her head to rustle. Gu Jinzhu's heart sank bit by bit.

If it was something he could help, Third Uncle would have agreed without hesitation. If he did not speak now, there would be nothing he could do.

Originally, even if Third Uncle was involved with Prince Rui, something that Imperial Concubine Shu couldn't get, how would he be able to get it? Her request was really demanding.

Gu Jinzhu felt ashamed. Third Uncle had already helped her a lot, but she begged for his help time and time again because of her, regardless of whether he was in a difficult situation or not!

Her face burned with embarrassment. She stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Third Uncle. It's fine if I can't get it. I'll think of another way."

Didn't Mrs. Lee say that she had gotten some elixirs? It might be useful.

She lowered her head with a sad expression, wanting to say her goodbyes to Gu Yiqing.

Gu Yiqing turned around with a faint smile on his face. Looking at her dejected look, he rubbed the top of her hair and said, "Alright!"
