Chapter 40 Save Her Life
"Here you are, here you are, can you help the girl wrap it up?"

"it is good."

The waiter took out the hairpin and earrings from the counter and placed them in front of Wu Xi.

I saw that the hairpin was a long hairpin made of clear blue jade with hollow flowers, and a blue-purple flower was inlaid on it. It complemented the lake blue body and made the originally plain hairpin a little more noble.

The butterflies carved on the pair of earrings are even more lifelike. The whole body is made of white jade, with warm tentacles and a soft luster. It is very delicate.

Wu Xi inspected the two items carefully before letting the waiter wrap them up.

Although this trip cost her almost all her savings, she was much lighter and happier than before.

After returning to the General's Mansion, he first went back to his room to call Yuetao and asked her to help give the hairpin to Gu Qingyuan, and then turned around and went to Ting Xueyuan.

"Yu Niang, why don't you help me change my clothes?" Gu Liangyue walked out of the barrel after bathing.

"Here we come." Yu Niang's voice was a little hoarse, she closed her eyes and walked slowly to the bathroom.

In front of her was a naked, voluptuous and smooth body. Yu Niang took the handkerchief from Chunzhu and stepped forward. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still caught off guard when the dots of kiss marks on Gu Liangyue's body fell into her eyes. Being stung.

Her hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly. Gu Liangyue noticed it, squinted her eyes and opened her red lips: "What's wrong?"

The smile on his lips seemed to be showing off.

"No, it's okay." Yu Niang put away her emotions, carefully wiped off the water drops on her body, and helped her change into a top and skirt.

Gu Liangyue raised her hand and touched the long scar on Yu Niang's cheek, as if sighing: "I feel sorry for your little flower-like face."

"Yu Niang, you must hate me in your heart."

Jade Lady hurriedly knelt down and said respectfully, "I don't dare, this slave."

Gu Liangyue snorted coldly: "It's best this way. If you are obedient, I will definitely help you find a good family."

"My servant thanked Miss."

Seeing Gu Liangyue's back as she raised her head and left proudly, Yu Niang raised her hand and touched the scars on her face, the hatred in her eyes fleeting.

Gu Liangyue's unabashed show off did not want to secretly hasten her death.

……

The path was quiet at night, with only the faint light and shadow cast by the stars and moon barely illuminating the road ahead.

Yu Niang rubbed her sore shoulders and walked back. She was so tired that she didn't even bother to lift a lantern, only relying on the light from the moon high in the sky.

When I returned to the house, I saw a figure standing motionless in front of the bed.

Yu Niang rubbed her eyes, but she couldn't see clearly the person in front of her despite the moonlight. Her heart suddenly lifted, her eyes accidentally touched the familiar long sword with a cold light, and her heart dropped into her stomach.

"What do you find me for?"

Wu Xi turned around when he heard the sound. The moment he looked at Yu Niang, he didn't know if it was an illusion. His usually expressionless ice face seemed to be filled with a smile.

"Do you have any orders from the eldest lady?"

Wu Xi took two steps to come to her and shook his head: "No."

"then you……"

"Here, it will be better if you apply a little when you are tired. The eldest lady gave it to me." He pointed to Yu Niang's shoulder.

"Thank you." Yu Niang pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.Sensing that Yu Niang was not in high spirits, he just thought that she was overworked today. Wu Xi didn't say anything more. He just put the wooden box and the medicinal oil on the table, told him to remember to apply it, and left.

After Wu Xi left, Yu Niang came to the table and lit the lamp, and then she saw clearly that there was more than just medicinal oil on the table.

At first, I thought it was left behind by Wu Xi. After waiting for a while, no one came to pick it up, so I wondered if it was given by Gu Qingyuan.

Opening the box, the butterfly earrings inside came into view. Women all like beautiful accessories, and Yu Niang was no exception. She touched the earrings carefully and put them back into the box.

After staying in the General's Mansion for so long, she could tell that this thing was definitely worth a lot of money, so it was best not to touch it until she was sure of its purpose.

The moment he closed the lid, the note Wu Xi placed on the top of the wooden box fell out. When he opened the note, there were a few brief words on it.

I gave it to you, it will look good on you.

Now Yuniang also understands that Wuxi bought this as a gift for her.

She smiled, tears welling up in her eyes uncontrollably.

Although Wu Xi took orders from Gu Qingyuan, it was because of Gu Qingyuan that he took care of her. Of course, there was also surveillance and supervision.

But after getting along with him, she could feel that Wu Xi, who looked cold on the outside, was actually very warm on the inside, and not as cold as the guards next to him. When she saw stray animals, she would take the initiative to take care of them, even if she couldn't give them a home.

Yu Niang brought the bronze mirror to her and carefully took out the pair of earrings and put them on her ears.

Although the girl in the bronze mirror had tears in her eyes, she was smiling like a flower. The scars on her face did not have too much impact. As expected, she looked really beautiful when she wore the earrings. The two butterflies on the earrings seemed to be about to change. Gone by the wind.

As the quiet night fades away, the sky gradually becomes brighter, and the glow sweeps across the dim sky, bringing light and new life.

Gu Qingyuan got up early for the first time today. Today she was going to Jiuwan Temple to pray for Mr. Xie and Gu Yanci.

Jiuwan Temple is the largest temple in East Vietnam. It is well-known far and near, and many people come here to visit it. As long as she can remember, Xie has been going to Jiuwan Temple to offer incense every year.

Speaking of which, she has a fate with Jiuwan Temple. I heard from Mrs. Xie that she almost got through a serious illness when she was three years old. Jiuwan Temple had a highly respected abbot.

It was said that it could bring people back to life. General Gu and his wife begged her a lot before they were relieved and could save her life.

Since then, the host has specifically stated that he must go to Jiuwan Temple to offer incense every year, which is the so-called fulfillment of vows.

Gu Qingyuan wore a crimson satin white fox fur cloak and wrapped herself tightly, leaving only her palm-sized face exposed. The temperature had become colder recently.

The hairpin on her hair was the hairpin given to her by Wu Xi. In order to make her look better, Ningdong even put some lipstick on her hair.

The green silk is like a waterfall and as beautiful as a peach blossom.

When the master and servant walked to the door, they found Mrs. Jiang waiting at the door, apparently about to go out.

"Hey, the eldest lady is going out?" When Jiang saw it was her, she raised her eyebrows, and her mean spirit was fully exposed.

Gu Qingyuan paused, and Ningdong turned around in confusion. Did Jiang take the wrong medicine?

On weekdays, it's too late to hide from her young lady. Why are you so crazy today?
He also didn't expect to meet Mr. Jiang at the door. Gu Qingyuan didn't want to have a conflict with him and ruin his good mood, so he ignored him and wanted to leave.

But she didn't know whether Jiang had taken the wrong medicine or something, so she stopped Gu Qingyuan and refused to let her leave.

"Miss, even though I'm just an aunt, you can't be so arrogant."

"If outsiders saw this, they would think that the daughter of our General's Mansion was raised like this." As she spoke, Mrs. Jiang wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
