After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

"Sister Mei... No, Sister Duobao, where are you going?" Ruyi and Duobao have a mutual understanding over the issue of name changing, and want to discuss in depth with her about Gu Jin's hobby of changing people's names.

But Duobao glared at Ruyi fiercely and went back to his room with red eyes.

Ruyi stood there and sighed, "Sister Duobao is really loyal to Young Madam. She was moved to tears by the name Young Madam gave her, which is so ugly."

Gu Jin knew that Duobao had bad intentions but still decided to keep her by his side, because Duobao was a wise move and it was better than letting Li and Gu Rou plant a spy around her again.

She picked up the book again and prepared to familiarize herself with the customs and practices of this dynasty. One cannot do business with an empty head and must adapt to local conditions.

But before she could turn a few pages of the book, another little maid came to report, "Madam, the eldest Madam is here."

Gu Jin sighed and thought it seemed like he wouldn't be able to read the book today.

This was Gu Rou's first time to come to Jinxiu Courtyard. The courtyard was as beautiful as its name suggested, with flowers blooming everywhere. The furniture in the house was of extraordinary value, even more magnificent than Xie Qing's house.

Looking at Gu Jin again, who was wearing a long dress made of Yunshui brocade worth thousands of gold pieces and a gold filigree hairpin inlaid with gemstones and a butterfly flower on her head, Gu Rou felt a sour feeling in her heart.

Although Su's family was of humble origin, the Su family was very wealthy and Su had only one son, Xie Ran. Being her daughter-in-law, she must have a very comfortable life.

Gu Rou couldn't hide her sourness as she spoke, "Big sister is living such a comfortable life, why do you have to take it out on your subordinates? Aunt Zhao is old and has no merits, but she has worked hard. How come she became mute after one day in Big sister's yard!"

"Madame Zhao is mute?" Gu Jin said nonchalantly, "That's such a pity."

"Don't you know about this, elder sister?" Although Nanny Zhao didn't know how she became mute, Gu Rou felt that it must be related to Gu Jin.

Gu Jin raised his lips to a nonchalant sneer, "Is a mere old woman worthy of my concern?

Did my second sister come to my courtyard with such fanfare just to make trouble for Aunt Zhang? It turns out that in my second sister's heart, I, her elder sister, am not as important as a maid."

Gu Jin took the initiative and retorted, leaving Gu Rou speechless. She naturally did not come to Gu Jin for a servant, but she was jealous because she saw that Gu Jin lived a more decent life than her.

Gu Rou adjusted her breathing and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, elder sister? I was just asking casually. We are sisters with deep feelings for each other, so how could we get upset over such a small matter?"

Gu Jin frowned in disapproval and said, "Madame Zhao has been with Second Aunt for more than ten years. Now that she is mute, Second Sister should pay attention to her. Otherwise, wouldn't the other servants be heartbroken?"

Gu Rou was so angry that her heart ached. It seemed that she was left to speak alone!

"Big sister is right. I'll take note of it." Gu Rou gritted her teeth and forced a smile for the sake of business. "Big sister, the day after tomorrow, can the four of us go back together?"

Seeing that Gu Jin didn't say anything, Gu Rou pretended to be pitiful, "Big sister, there are many different opinions and speculations about our marriage outside. Only if we go together can we stop the gossips and maintain the reputation of the Marquis's and Earl's Mansions."

Seeing Gu Rou's expectant eyes, Gu Jin's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded in agreement, "Okay, we'll go together the day after tomorrow."

Gu Rou immediately smiled happily, but there was a gleam of sharpness in her eyes.

Gu Jin, your good days are coming to an end!
