Originally, it was not a earth-shattering event for Zheng Dinglian to give the martial arts field to Gu Qinlan, but the problem was that this piece of land was not used to grow flowers and plants, but to grow medicinal herbs?

Which noble lady from aristocratic family doesn’t fiddle with flowers and plants and cultivate her character?

Only their Princess Duan was unique and actually planted medicinal herbs in the palace. Instead of objecting, Prince Duan took charge of the matter himself.

When talking about this matter, not only Prince Duan, but even the old princess and several young masters found out about it, no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

In fact, what Xiang Zhu said about how good Prince Duan was to Gu Qinlan was far from enough. All the masters of Prince Duan’s Mansion had deep feelings for Gu Qinlan.

This is understandable. After all, interpersonal communication is based on heart-to-heart communication.

If Gu Qinlan had not cared for them so much, how could they cherish Gu Qinlan so much?

After Xiang Zhu dressed up Gu Qinlan, he looked at the fairy-like Gu Qinlan in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes, feeling deeply moved:

"The young lady's life is much more relaxed and enjoyable now than when she was in Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion! If Madam knew about this, she would definitely be happy for the young lady."

Hearing this, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but think of her late mother Cui Jinghe.

After two lifetimes, her mother's appearance has gradually faded, but Gu Qinlan will always remember her mother's gentleness and tolerance.

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Thinking that her mother's death anniversary would be coming soon, she told Xiang Zhu and others to make proper preparations.

At this moment, the doorman came to report that Gu Qinyao, the third lady of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, wanted to see him.

Upon hearing Gu Qinyao's name, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but be stunned.

Xiang Zhu couldn't help but ask curiously: "This Third Miss usually has a normal relationship with the young lady, why did she suddenly come to visit?"

Gu Qinlan shook her head gently and said in a gentle tone: "Anyway, let's invite her in first."

In the second branch of the Gu family, Gu Qinyao's identity is quite delicate. As a concubine's daughter, her presence is not strong in daily life.

However, when Gu Qinlan returned home last time, she unexpectedly discovered that this seemingly timid cousin from the second room was actually quite intelligent.

Not long after, Gu Qinlan was in the backyard carefully selecting the medicinal seedlings that Zheng Dinglian had prepared for her. These medicinal seedlings were full of vitality and were obviously carefully selected, completely meeting her requirements.

"Plant them all, and be careful."

After completing the inspection, Gu Qinlan instructed his servants so, and then planted the medicinal seedlings one by one with his own hands.

"big sister."

A clear and gentle voice sounded behind him. Gu Qinlan turned around and saw the long-lost Gu Qinyao standing there shyly with a hint of timidity in her eyes.

Compared with the last time they met, Gu Qinyao now had obvious dark circles under her eyes, which could not be completely concealed even with makeup. It was obvious that she had not been having a good time these days.

"Third sister is here, come and sit over here."

Gu Qinlan did not ask any more questions. She just smiled and held Gu Qinyao's hand, led her to sit in the hexagonal pavilion nearby, and then slowly spoke:

"It's rare for my third sister to come visit me. I remember you seemed to prefer Lushan Cloud Tea? Xiang Zhu, go prepare it."

Xiang Zhu immediately took the order and left.

Gu Qinyao looked at Gu Qinlan's enthusiastic attitude and finally felt relaxed.

She was originally worried that her sudden visit would anger Gu Qinlan.

As she stepped into the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion, Gu Qinyao felt nervous.

The Prince Duan's Mansion was magnificent, and every part of it looked luxurious and majestic. Even in her heart, it was not much different from the Imperial Palace.

She couldn't help but worry whether Gu Qinlan would regard her as a poor relative who was greedy for wealth and would shut her out.

after all……

Yesterday, she heard that after Marquis Dingyuan and his wife returned home, Marquis Dingyuan was furious with his wife and even used family rules to make his wife reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors...

If she wasn't forced to do so, Gu Qinyao really wouldn't dare to disturb Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan naturally noticed the uneasiness in Gu Qinyao's heart, but she didn't intend to delve into it.

After all, her relationship with Gu Qinyao was limited to acquaintances.

Furthermore, if Gu Qinyao's request was agreed to, it would set a precedent, and other people in Dingyuan Marquis Mansion would follow suit. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Therefore, at this moment, Gu Qinlan was just talking with Gu Qinyao about interesting things in the mansion and did not mention a word about the purpose of her trip.

Gu Qinyao was anxious. While talking with Gu Qinlan, she kept an eye on the servants who came to report from time to time.

She could feel that these servants' respect for Gu Qinlan came from the bottom of their hearts.

This proves that Gu Qinlan's position in Prince Duan's Mansion is extremely solid.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Gu Qinyao finally couldn't help it. She suddenly knelt down in front of Gu Qinlan, her eyes red and her voice choked:

"Big sister, please save me!"

Gu Qinlan didn't expect Gu Qinyao to suddenly kneel in front of her. She couldn't help but frown and reached out to help her up:

"Third sister, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Why do you have to do this?"

Gu Qinyao shook her head gently, refusing to stand up. Instead, she said solemnly, as if she had burned her boats:

"Dear sister, Qin Yao is really desperate, so I come to you for help. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Qin Yao would never have the audacity to disturb you and cause you trouble."

Seeing that Gu Qinyao was determined not to get up, Gu Qinlan simply gave up on supporting her, picked up the teacup, and said coldly:

"Since you insist on not getting up, then just keep kneeling."

Gu Qinyao was stunned and looked at Gu Qinlan nervously, knowing that she was angry.

She was uneasy and bit her lips anxiously. She stood up quickly, folded her hands in front of her, and apologized to Gu Qinlan:

"Please forgive me, elder sister. I didn't mean to offend you, but you also know that Qin Yao is only the concubine's daughter of the second house and has a low status..."

"Mother has always lacked love for us, her illegitimate children, and it is even more impossible for her to think about us wholeheartedly."

"Now, I have reached the age of marriage. I originally thought that even if my mother was prejudiced against us, at least she would not be too harsh on marriage. I could just find a husband from an ordinary family. However..."

Speaking of this, Gu Qinyao's tears rolled down her face involuntarily, and her sadness was beyond words.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinlan frowned slightly.

Her second uncle Gu Dingyi has always been a romantic and handsome man, with countless beauties in his backyard.

Her second aunt was a jealous and bad-tempered woman.

Whenever Gu Dingyi took concubines, those women would often die soon after.

Just like Gu Qinyao’s biological mother, who passed away shortly after she was born.

Everyone knew that it was Second Aunt who did it secretly, but no one dared to ask.

After all, for Gu Dingyi, the only option is to die and remarry.

Therefore, the second wife had many children, and even if the second aunt wanted to get rid of them, it would be difficult to do so.

In recent years, Second Aunt has been much more obedient, perhaps because she has accepted her fate, or for other reasons.

Two years ago, the second house married off a concubine's daughter. Although her marriage was not good, it was still acceptable on the surface.

Therefore, Gu Qinlan did not expect that her second aunt would interfere with Gu Qinyao's marriage.

"Don't cry, tears can't solve any problems. Who does your second aunt plan to marry you to?"
