famous eldest daughter

Chapter 41 Lady Du

Maybe it was to survive, maybe it was Kumquat's calmness that infected Luju, or maybe it was for some other reason.

In short, Luju, who was trembling in panic a moment ago, by the time Jinju opened the door to welcome the second prince, was as calm as a normal person, even more calm than Luju.

Jin Jue breathed a sigh of relief and welcomed the second prince into the back room.

"Where is your second young lady?" Seeing that Gu Yuhe was not in the room, Xiao Duo asked doubtfully.

Xiao Duo knew full well how passionate Gu Yuhe was for him, but when he came, Gu Yuhe was not there, which really surprised Xiao Duo.

"The eldest lady called the second young lady over to talk. It was raining so heavily outside. I think the eldest lady was worried that the second young lady would come back alone, so she left her alone." Jin Jue said carefully while serving tea to the second prince: "Your Highness, please wait for a moment. The second young lady will be back soon. Since the second young lady agreed to meet with His Highness, she will not make a mistake."

Xiao Duo agrees with this.

He was afraid that the anxious and anxious Gu Yuhe was making trouble in front of Gu Yuqing. Xiao Duo wanted to laugh when he thought of Gu Yuqing, who had always been smart and capable, being overwhelmed by Gu Yuhe's entanglement.

Gu Yuhe is the best way to deal with Gu Yuqing.

However, if Xiao Duo had known at this time that Gu Yuhe, whom he used as a sharp sword, was sleeping in a carriage and being escorted by Aunt Huang to Fengtai's ancestral home, he would probably not be able to laugh.

When Xiao Duo came to Gu Mansion, his original purpose was not Gu Yuhe, but now that Gu Yuhe was gone, he just saved himself the trouble of talking to Gu Yuhe.

"Forget it, I still have things to do, so I won't wait any longer. As soon as your lady comes back, you can tell her that I have been here and let her sleep peacefully. I will come to see her again in a few days." Look up. Looking at the sky outside, Xiao Duo stood up to leave.

Lu Ju immediately said: "Your Highness, it is better to wait. The second young lady will not be able to see Your Highness when she comes back, so I am afraid she will cry sadly again."

When Lu Ju was talking, Jin Jue looked at her with fear, fearing that her nervousness would show her weakness.

It wasn't until Lu Ju finished speaking calmly that Jin Jue's anxious heart calmed down. At the same time, he sighed in his heart that Lu Ju had been trained by Madam herself. Even though she was timid and afraid of getting into trouble at ordinary times, she could not stand up to the danger when the situation came. chaos.

Xiao Duo was only thinking about stealing the "Peacock March" from the Gu family's study, so he had no intention of wasting his time here.

Taking off a jade pendant hanging from his waist, Xiao Duo handed it to Lu Ju, "This is for your young lady. I think she will feel better after seeing this."

Lu Ju held a crystal jade pendant in her hand, and there was a flash of luster in her lowered eyes, which soon returned to calm.

After seeing Xiao Duo off, Lu Ju's cheeks that were still rosy just now turned pale immediately, "Kum Jue, I'm scared to death." She held Jin Jue's hand and gasped.

"I saw that you looked quite calm. I thought you weren't afraid." Jin Jue said with a smile.

As soon as the second prince left, their mission was completed, and Jin Jue felt completely relaxed at this time.

How the eldest lady will deal with them is completely at the mercy of fate, they are wrong in the first place, as long as the eldest lady can spare them their death, it is already a mercy, Jinju doesn't have too much extravagant hope.

Lu Ju patted her chest and said, "Why aren't you afraid? I was scared to death. I gritted my teeth and persevered. My clothes were wet with cold sweat. You know that I have always been timid."

Lu Ju said while tightening the jade pendant in her hand, "When are we going to see the eldest lady? It's better to leave this jade pendant to the eldest lady."

Jin Jue glanced at Lu Ju's hand holding the jade pendant and said, "Put away the jade pendant and have a good sleep tonight. We will go to see the eldest lady early tomorrow morning."

As he spoke, Jin Jue felt a deep sadness in his heart.

Tonight may be their last night in the Gu family. They originally thought they were going to stay in the Gu family for the rest of their lives, but they made mistakes every step of the way. Jin Jue was filled with fear and confusion as to where they would go after leaving the Gu family.

She has no relatives in this world.

The Gu family is her only home.

"Lvju, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?" Jinju murmured.

Luju squeezed the jade pendant in her hand tightly and said in a very soft voice: "Of course it is revenge. My brother's enemy has finally been found."

Her voice was as low as a mosquito. Jin Jue could only see her lips moving slightly but didn't hear a word. Of course, he didn't notice her choking when she spoke.

Jin Jue sighed quietly, walked to the small chair by the window and sat down by the window, holding her chin up and looking at the rain falling like a curtain outside, with sadness in her eyes.

It turns out that Luju had a younger brother, but he seemed to have died of illness a few years ago.

Now Luju, like her, is an orphan without a father, mother, or relatives. She has nowhere to go, and the timid Luju has nowhere to go.

On the other side, Kumquat and Lvju were thinking about their own thoughts. On the other side, Xiao Duo had already brought Chang Shun into Gu Mansion's study. The heavy rain was like pillars and the thunder was like drums. Xiao Duo didn't notice at all that there was not much behind him. A figure followed him closely, like a ghost, and entered the study with him.

Gu Yuqing leaned on the pillow and sat on the bed, listening to Ruyi's report.

"The servant followed the second lady all the way back to the east courtyard. Apart from Zhao mama and kumquats and green chrysanthemums, the second lady only saw Mrs. Du, the kitchen steward who brought her sweet soup."

"Originally, it wasn't that important. It was just that when Jixiang ordered someone to kill Aunt Zhao with a stick, all the servants in the east side courtyard came to watch, but Madam Du didn't go. She wasn't sitting in the room, either. I just stood under the tree not far away, listening to the movement over there from a distance."

"But when the second young lady was about to come to your place to plead for Mother Zhao, Madam Du ran over to stop her. At that time, the servants were far away and the yard was noisy. I didn't hear what Madam Du said to the second young lady. I just I saw the second young lady slap Mrs. Du in the face."

"The second young lady pushed away Mrs. Du who was pulling her and ran all the way to Tongyuan. However, Mrs. Du, who received a slap from the second young lady, stood there for a long time."

"When Aunt Zhao was killed with a stick and the crowd of onlookers dispersed, before the servant wrapped up the body of Aunt Zhao, the servant saw Madam Du walking in front of Aunt Zhao's body and kicked her hard several times. It looks like she hates Grandma Zhao."

Mrs. Du?
Gu Yuqing imagined a neat middle-aged woman with a square face and slightly high cheekbones. Although her eyes were not big, they were particularly energetic. She always gave people a feeling of high energy.

She is not an old man in the house.

After my mother passed away, the housekeeper who had been in charge of the small kitchen in the east courtyard suddenly had something happen at home. She left a note and hurried away without even having time to say hello.

When Gu Yuqing saw the note and sent someone to her home to give her some money, he found that her family had moved and she had disappeared.

Madam Du entered the mansion at that time.
