The Legitimate Miss Returns With Honor - C40
Beside Madame Li and the Jiang Clan sat a girl each, who looked at her curiously.
The girl beside Madame Li was slightly younger, only about six or seven years old. She was wearing a light pink dress with two bun tied on her head and wore a golden sunflower bazaar longevity lock on her neck. She looked young and tender, and she was actually Madame Li’s youngest daughter, Gu Yu Rong.
Madame Li pushed her daughter over, smiling as she said, “Rong’er, isn’t this the big sister you talk about everyday? Why aren’t you greeting her?”
The little girl’s big round eyes stared at Gu Jinzhu for a long time before she suddenly blurted out, “Big sister, you look so much better than second sister.”
Only Madame Li had a happy smile on her face as she pulled her daughter over and rubbed her precious hand. “Aiya, little Rong’er, your big sister is the same as your second big sister. In the future, you can’t say these words in front of your second big sister. Look at how unhappy your second big sister is.”
With every sentence Madame Li spoke, Yao’s face darkened until she could no longer maintain her dignified bearing.
Who didn’t know that the Gu Clan’s Second Miss, Gu Beitang, was the apple of her eye, the flesh on her heart? Beautiful as Bi Tong was, she was reputed to be the capital’s number one beauty. As a mother, she had always been proud of herself.
However, the one who said this was the youngest girl in the Residence of He. She could not argue with the child and kept it in her heart.
However, she could not say that someone else had come forward, so the other girl immediately jumped down from the stool, pointed at Gu Yu Rong with one hand on her hip and the other on her other hand on her waist, and glared at him, saying, “You’re lying! What do you know? Sister Tong is the prettiest in the world! ”
The girl looked to be about ten years old and wore a dark green dress. Her skin was snow-white and her features were beautiful. Unfortunately, her domineering attitude was destroyed by her domineering appearance.
“I just think big sister is the best!” Gu Yuerong was too young to be outdone, so she shouted back.
Lady Li smiled as she watched, as if it was rather interesting. She didn’t stop her daughter and instead gave the Jiang Clan a slight headache.
Madame Jiang immediately pulled her daughter down and consoled her while she did so. The girl glanced at Gu Jinzhu angrily and suddenly pointed at her, “Who does she think she is? Get her to scram back to where she came from!” I only have one sister, that’s Sister Tong! ”
When she said this, the room was shocked, and even Madame Li was stupefied. It was as if she didn’t expect a child like her to be so bold.
Mrs. Yao subconsciously looked towards Gu Jinzhu and saw her slightly bow her head as if she hadn’t heard anything. A look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, but her face pretended to darken as she shouted, “What are you saying!? This is too unruly, why aren’t you quickly leaving! ”
Madame Jiang came forward to plead, “Madame, please don’t be angry. Jin’er is still a child, she doesn’t understand …”
“You’re the one who’s used to such things. You made her act shamelessly, so why aren’t you taking her down? Let her reflect on it!”
“Yes …” The girl twisted her body as she struggled, while shouting loudly, “I’m not wrong. There’s only one young miss in the mansion, it’s elder sister Tong. Who does she think she is …”
The Jiang Clan hastily covered the girl’s mouth and dragged her out.
Lady Yao lightly rubbed her forehead and apologetically said to Gu Jinzhu, “That’s your Aunt Jiang’s daughter, Little Words Bi Jin. Because she’s one year younger than your Second Sister, the two of them grew up together, and their relationship became deeper, so they became accustomed to each other. In the future, when you sisters grow more, it’ll be great.”
“Yes.” Gu Jinzhu nodded, and obediently said, “Zhu’er will definitely listen to mother’s teachings and get closer to our little sisters.”
A look of satisfaction appeared on Lady Yao’s face. She waved her hand at her and said, “Today, your father has been busy with official matters and hasn’t come back yet. There’s no need to pay him a visit. Your journey is too slow. Let Qiushu take you to rest.”
She looked at Yun Xiang and Bi Yao, who were behind her, and said, “There are only two girls who don’t seem to be in the right. I will assign some more people to you, since your yard has been tidied up, go and find out what is missing, just say it’s too late today. You should get a good night’s sleep, and pay your respects to the old lady in the morning.”
Jin Zhu nodded, but just as she was about to go down, she heard Madame Li laugh, “Eldest Sis is also tired, it’s time for me to go back, but I said that Eldest Sis should take care of this courtyard. Although that girl, Bi Jin, is born in the name of Eldest Sister-in-Law, how could she dare to point out Eldest Miss and scold her like that? “If this gets to the ears of outsiders, aren’t you going to tell them that our young mistress of the Duke’s estate has lost her manners?!”
Madame Li’s voice was shrill and reasonable, causing Lady Yao’s expression to instantly change. She gritted her teeth and said, “What sister-in-law says is true. I’ll take care of this matter properly. There’s no need for others to worry!”
Madame Li let out a snort of laughter and pulled Gu YuRong along. As they brushed past Gu Jinzhu, she even said with a smile, “Zhu’er, if you’re free, go visit Second Aunt one day. Second Aunt is different from the others, but she really cares about you.”
Only when Gu Jinzhu agreed did she leave with her daughter.
Gu Jinzhu followed Lady Yao’s eldest daughter, Jin Wu, out of the courtyard. Unbeknownst to her, just as she was about to leave, a blue and white porcelain teacup smashed on the ground. Lady Yao clutched her chest and cursed angrily, “I’m so angry! This slut is really outrageous. “Could it be that this mother of mine is a waste?”
Lady Yao’s wet nurse signaled for the little girl to step down as she advised, “Your temper is still so impatient. She’s only been used to talking too much. Isn’t this Residence of the Duke of Guo yours?” If she wants to beg for food from you and make her sore, what’s there to worry about? ”
“I know that she came to watch the show, but she just can’t take it anymore! “Isn’t it because she gave birth to three sons? So what? Isn’t the title going to fall on my son in the future? What is she so proud of, you slut!”
Senior Servant Ping shook her head and no longer tried to persuade her.
After passing through the gates, Yao Family only gave birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest son, Gu Rongqi, was thirteen years old, and studied at the Green Platform Academy. He only returned once every six months, and then came the second young miss, Gu Bitong.
Gu Qingyuan had two concubines, but without exception, all of them were his daughters. As a result, his only heir was his eldest son, Gu Rongqi.
Over the years, Lady Yao tried everything she could think of, but her stomach never made a sound. On the contrary, Mrs Li from the second house gave birth to three sons in a row one after the other, making the old lady extremely happy. On the fourth child, Mrs Li had a daughter.
