Only in this way can she protect the three newbies without revealing her true strength, and still achieve her goal.

The path the group followed the butler took became increasingly remote.

A chilling howl echoed from the depths of the forest, startling a flock of birds and evoking a variety of emotions among the onlookers.

Zuo Zhijing frowned; he had a bad feeling about it and hugged the person in his arms tighter.

If he could, he would even like to leave.

However, Gu Siyu was uneasy. If she didn't resolve her entanglement with the Gu family, it would definitely leave behind hidden dangers.

He didn't want the person he loved to suffer or be mistreated, so he could only place his hopes on Qu Jian'er.

On the other hand, Qu Jian'er looked relaxed, as if she were strolling in her own backyard.

Lan Xiaodie quietly approached Qu Jian'er: "Why is the Gu family's way of treating guests different from others?"

Qu Jian'er was blunt: "Ugly people are often troublesome. Haven't you heard that the current Madam Gu is a second wife? Her behavior is definitely different from that of the original wives of other prominent families."

Before she arrived, she learned most of the secret history of the Gu family through Zuo Chen's introduction.

The current head of the Gu family was once framed by a woman during his marriage, before he became the head of the family.

Then, the mistress, heavily pregnant, came to the house demanding an explanation, which angered the original wife to death; she used her child to climb the social ladder.

And Gu Youyou is that child.

What a delightful fact!

Lan Xiaodie had heard about it to some extent, but her father had warned her not to discuss Madam Gu.

That person is too mysterious and his methods are too powerful. Discussing Madam Gu will not lead to anything good.

Lan Xiaodie wanted to remind Qu Jian'er, but Qu Jian'er got more and more excited as she talked.

It's driving people crazy.

Even the butler leading the way couldn't help but turn around.

Qu Jian'er sighed, "Ah, people really are shameless and invincible. I still have a lot to learn."

The butler grinned maliciously and looked at Qu Jian'er, saying, "I hope you can be just as outspoken later."

Qu Jian'er nodded: "I will try my best."

Others couldn't help but look at you with surprise: You're really brave!
