famous eldest daughter

Chapter 87 Post from Prince Duan’s Mansion
It has been five or six days since Gu Yuhe returned home.

She had been able to keep her composure these past few days. Whether it was Aunt Huang secretly reporting or Kumquat Lvju reporting, she was just reading and doing embroidery in the east courtyard.

However, the most common thing she does is to stand alone under the corridor, looking at the flowers in a courtyard in trance, and occasionally murmuring a few words, but no one can hear what she is saying.

The only thing that was unusual was that he talked in his sleep several times in the middle of the night, calling his mother or grandma indistinctly, which seemed to be in pain.

Kumquat and Luju only thought she was missing her deceased wife, so she didn't find anything strange at all.

Gu Yuqing, however, sneered in her heart when she heard Kumquat Luju's report. When Gu Yuhe was born, the Gusu family had been exterminated long ago. She had never even seen her grandmother, so the grandmother she spoke of was naturally not her grandmother.

What's more, northerners call grandma, but only southerners call grandma.

This reminded Gu Yuqing that Gu Yuhe's biological mother was probably from the south.

On this day, Gu Yuqing was in the corridor telling the housekeeper about buying ice to cool off the heat. Gu Yuhe walked from a distance holding kumquat, wearing a goose-yellow satin dress, walking in the thin sunlight, every bit of it glowing. .

The old woman couldn't help sighing, "Missy really dotes on Missy [-], this dress is very valuable at first glance, even Missy herself has never worn such a good material."

Gu Yuqing glanced at Gu Yuhe coldly, didn't accept the woman's flattering words, but only ordered a few things to pay attention to, and sent her away.

When Gu Yuhe approached, the disgust in Gu Yuqing's eyes had been well concealed, and she just smiled and asked: "Come here at this time, but what do you want?"

Gu Yuhe sat down opposite Gu Yuqing with a pursed mouth, took a bite of a fruit, and said, "Sister, I can't get used to the sweet soup made by the new cook, I still want to eat it made by Mrs. Du." of."

Gu Yuqing smiled patiently and said: "Mrs. Du has something going on at home, how can we be so arrogant and force her to stay!"

Gu Yuhe threw the fruit he had taken a bite out of in displeasure on the table, looked at Gu Yuqing and said, "Sister knows how to lie. Madam Du knows how to live alone, where does her family come from, and where does her home come from."

As he said that, Gu Yuhe wanted to reach out and take Gu Yuqing's hand, "Good sister, please invite Madam Du back again. Do you have the heart to see my food not delicious?"

However, Gu Yuqing happened to raise her hand to hold the tea cup on the table, avoided Gu Yuhe's hand, took a sip of tea, and said: "The cook who is cooking for you now comes from the palace, and her craftsmanship is much better than Madam Du's. hundred times."

Gu Yuhe was in vain, so he had no choice but to stop, still muttering: "But I only like Du Niangzi's craftsmanship."

A sharp light suddenly appeared in Gu Yuqing's eyes, and she looked straight at Gu Yuhe, "Are you inseparable from Madam Du or her sweet soup?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Yuqing asked such a question, which pierced the bottom of his heart. Gu Yuhe's face suddenly turned pale, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he stood there stunned.

Gu Yuqing looked at Gu Yuhe's reaction with a sneer in her heart and stopped looking at her.

"The Gu family has never been a bullying family. Since Madam Du has family problems, we have no reason to force her to stay. If you can't get used to the new cook's food, it's just a temporary discomfort. You'll be fine in a few days." Gu Yuqing suppressed her emotions, squeezed the handkerchief tightly, and tried to speak to Gu Yuhe calmly.

"I still have things to deal with here. If you have nothing else to do, please go back first."

After Gu Yuqing finished speaking, she stood up, picked up her skirt, and left, leaving Gu Yuhe's face behind him turning green and white, and fear flashing in his eyes.

Looking at Gu Yuqing's leaving figure, Gu Yuhe felt anxious.

What happened during her absence?
Madam Du, why on earth is she not at home?

Did her sister notice something and kill her like Mother Zhao?Or is there something else, or maybe as her sister said, she does have something going on at home.

But grandma clearly said that Mrs. Du was a widow without a family or a wife.

Gu Yuhe stumbled back to the east courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he grabbed Jin Jue's hand and asked sternly, "Tell me, where did Madam Du go?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a golden hairpin from his head and stabbed it straight into Jin Jue's palm.

Jin Jue was so painful that she broke into a cold sweat and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Second Miss, I have told you countless times that Madam Du really has something to do at home. She and the eldest lady excused themselves and left."

"Really?" Gu Yuhe's young face was full of viciousness that was inconsistent with her age.

Jin Jue nodded with red eyes, "How dare I deceive the young lady? Besides, everyone in the house knows about this matter. The young lady can get the answer from anyone she asks."

Gu Yuhe's heart felt impetuous, and he shook off Jin Jue's hand, and sat there blankly for a moment.

After a while, he came back to his senses, glanced down at Jinjie, suddenly bent down and took Jinjie's hand, and said with a guilty and uneasy look: "Kumie, I'm sorry, I hurt you, I didn't mean it. I just miss Mrs. Du..."

As he said that, Gu Yuhe touched a pair of earrings from his earlobes and put them into Jin Jue's hands without any explanation, "This is for you. It is my compensation. Jin Jue, don't be angry, let alone tell your sister, I really didn't mean it."

Jin Jue didn't know why Gu Yuhe's mood suddenly changed, but he only felt that she was more creepy at this moment than before.

In order to reassure Gu Yuhe, Kumquat pretended to be open-eyed at the money, and took the pair of gold earrings.

When Gu Yuhe saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, there was a layer of strong contempt in his eyes.

Servants are just servants, they are all the same bitches at heart!To deal with this kind of person, just giving her some benefits is enough.

Of course Gu Yuhe would not know that this matter eventually reached Gu Yuqing's ears through Jin Jue's mouth.

On the day Jin Jue went to report, Gu Yuqing happened to be holding a post in his hand. It was the princess of Duan Palace who was hosting a summer solstice banquet and invited the ladies of Kyoto to come and have fun.

Duan Wangfu's post is very distinctive, not to mention how dazzling the frosted red cover is with the word "Duan" embroidered with gold thread. The shape of the post alone allows people to recognize where it comes from at a glance.

Other posts are in regular rectangular shapes, but her posts are diamond-shaped.

After Jin Jue finished reporting, he glanced at the post that Gu Yuqing casually placed on the small table. He frowned and said, "This morning, the second lady also received such a post."

It is an unwritten rule in Kyoto that unless Gu Yuhe is invited alone, posts are usually only sent to Gu Yuqing.

Gu Yuqing was startled when he heard this, picked up the post at hand, raised it in the air, shook it, and said, "Is it the same as this one?"

Jin Jue nodded and said firmly: "Similarly, the post from Prince Duan's Mansion is unique, and the slave's memory is correct."
