"Okay." Gu Junwen agreed lightly, as if it were a feather, but his feet felt as heavy as a mountain.

Her smile seemed to be native to her face, just a mask; although she was smiling, it did not reach her eyes.

Look back every three steps and sigh every three steps.

No matter how long the road is, you will eventually reach your destination if you take small steps. This was the first time that Gu Junwen realized this sentence so deeply.

"Master Gu, we are also under the emperor's command. Please understand and understand." The little eunuch who followed closely behind Gu Junwen sighed deeply, wishing he could rush back to the palace for her.

When the young eunuch saw Gu Junwen turning around, his eyes immediately turned red like a dramatic spirit.

He raised his orchid finger and pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes. His sad eyes were almost glued to Gu Junwen, which made Gu Junwen's back cold.

"Okay, okay, yes, yes. I promise you." Gu Junwen shrugged helplessly and patted the little eunuch's shoulder gently.

Although she really didn't want to see Princess Wuyou, Gu Junwen still had basic morals and would at least not implicate others.

Forget it, forget it, it’s a blessing, not a curse, it’s a curse…

Wait, what on earth is this little eunuch thinking? Is he really afraid of being punished?

Roast duck and roast goose. Wow, are the eunuchs’ meals so good nowadays?

So, this little eunuch was just in a hurry to push her into the fire pit in order to satisfy his appetite as quickly as possible?

If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

Gu Junwen muttered to herself, trying to hold back her eager hands. But her resentment was so strong that it almost solidified into substance.

The young eunuch who was being stared at felt his hair stand on end and was covered in cold sweat. He quickened his pace and walked far away from Gu Junwen before he dared to breathe heavily, as if he had just run 800 meters.

After hurrying all the way, when Gu Junwen and his party returned to Qiushanyuan, the sun was already shining brightly and it was almost noon.

From a distance, Qiushan Temple has white walls and green tiles, surrounded by trees and grass. On the roadside, tiny pieces of sunlight are scattered through the leaves, making the passers-by look like golden.

The atmosphere inside Qiushan Courtyard was completely different from that outside. An oppressive and cold atmosphere expanded in the courtyard, entangling the feet of everyone who stepped into the courtyard.

Gu Junwen gritted his teeth and shuddered before he even walked into the door.

"Where are they! When will Gu Junwen come back? Is he going to leave me here forever?" Ye Tan's voice rose, like a sharp blade piercing everyone's eardrums, and the anger followed the voice to the gate of the courtyard.

Ye Tan's voice was still rising, as if if her voice was higher, Gu Junwen would appear in front of her.

Gu Junwen paused outside the main hall. She was so close to him that she got scared.

Ye Tan screamed angrily, and the maids and servants beside her lowered their heads and trembled in fear, as if if they lowered their heads further they would not be affected by the princess's anger.

The servants in Gu Junwen's courtyard had already knelt on the ground, their heads pressed firmly to the ground, motionless like statues. They were also like lambs to be slaughtered, desperately waiting for the fate of this proud girl in front of them.

"Pfft, what kind of tea is this? It's so disgusting!" Ye Tan threw the teacup down heavily, and the tea spilled all over the floor.

"Princess, please calm down. Please spare my life!" The little maidservant who served tea felt her legs go limp and her knees hit the floor heavily. She still struggled to crawl towards Ye Tan on her knees, hoping to save her life.

"Who do you think you are?" Ye Tan bent down slightly and lifted the little maid's chin with her long armor. She dragged out her voice, "She is quite pretty, but you can't keep her!"

"Someone! Drag her out." Ye Tan suddenly let go of his hand, glanced at the little maid who was kowtowing like crazy with a look of dirtiness, and spoke in a cold tone.

"Mercy! Mercy!" The little maid was pulled out by her hair like a rag by two burly old women.

"Wait." Gu Junwen was pushed by someone behind her. She lost her balance and staggered a few steps, standing in front of the two old women.

Who pushed her? Gu Junwen looked back and saw that everyone behind him had dispersed without him knowing when. Only Shen Anan was left standing there with her hand on the scabbard.

"What are you still standing there for? Don't you two want to live anymore? Get them out now!" Nanny Kang, the wet nurse standing next to Ye Tan, crossed her arms around her round waist, and her voice was so unpleasant that it made people want to cover their ears.

As expected of Ye Tan’s wet nurse, these two people’s temperaments are just like copy and paste.

Gu Junwen looked at the little maid who was dragged up again, and felt as if he was stuffed with a piece of cotton, unable to go up or down.

"Stop it." Gu Junwen sighed. God, why did he drag her into this era of strict class division after she had been educated for nearly twenty years that all men are created equal?

"Young General Gu," Nanny Kang glanced at Gu Junwen with the corner of her eye and raised her voice, "This lowly servant has offended the princess and must suffer. I'm afraid the servants in this mansion will not know the rules and make trouble in the future."

"An An." Gu Junwen has always upheld the fine tradition of a gentleman using his hands rather than his mouth. She put her hands behind her back and looked at Grandma Kang with a smile.

"Pah, pah, pah." Three crisp sounds were heard, and Nanny Kang covered her red and swollen face, mumbling incoherently.

"Gu Junwen, you've gone too far!" Ye Tan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stood up suddenly with a ferocious look on his face.

"Princess, don't be anxious. I just taught a disobedient servant a lesson in my house. Besides, everyone in this courtyard is your uncle's people." Gu Junwen brought up Ye Nanyi without hesitation and successfully interrupted Ye Tan's words.

"Gu, Gu Junwen! My mother intended to marry me to you, and this is how you treat me?" Ye Tan's face flushed, and he blurted out what was in his heart.

What? Gu Junwen was completely confused. She, marry Ye Tan.

Haha, it was Queen Su who thought of this.
