"But Miss, your face is the most important thing for a woman."

"Can this face be more important than life and happiness for the rest of my life? I want to take my own destiny firmly into my own hands. Besides, I can postpone my marriage and expose the traitors around me. Isn't this great?"

"It turns out that the young lady had already discovered that there was something wrong with the wet nurse. I also felt something was wrong, but I didn't dare to say anything."

Gu Yunru breathed a sigh of relief, holding her hand and said, "Qingxing, you have been with me the longest, and I trust you the most. If one day you want to serve another new master, you must tell me in advance, and never do anything without telling me."

Qing Xing was so anxious when she heard this that her eyes welled up with tears. She shook her head desperately and said, "Miss, I won't do that. I have been with you since I was a child, and it is difficult for me to be separated from you."

Seeing this silly girl crying out of anxiety, Gu Yunru felt warm in her heart. She wiped the tears from her face and said, "Thanks to you for asking someone to bring King Zhao here, otherwise my plan wouldn't be so perfect."

"Miss, don't say that. This is what a servant should do. So what are your plans for the future? Do you really want to keep this face and never go anywhere?"

Looking at the deep worry in Qingxing's eyes, in ancient times, face was the most important thing for a woman, but Gu Yunru believed that freedom was the most important.

"What's the big deal? Just wear a veil, right?"

The next day, Gu Yunru and Mrs. Gu asked for permission to go to Dabei Temple to burn incense.

Mrs. Gu looked at her wearing a veil hat and a white silk dress, looking ethereal and graceful. She just didn't know how her face had recovered.

"Yunru, you should stay in the mansion and take good care of yourself. It won't be too late to marry into the palace after you recover. What if you catch a cold if you go out now?"

Gu Yunru frowned, knowing that Madam Gu would not let her go out easily, so she simply lifted all the curtains, revealing that terrifying face.

"Cover it up quickly! What if you go out like this and scare others? Your father has gone to court, how should I explain to him?"

Gu Yunru didn’t know whether others were frightened or not, but Mrs. Gu was scared half to death and would probably have a nightmare tonight.

"Mother, I want to go to the Great Compassion Temple to burn incense, hoping that God can help my face recover faster. Staying in the house every day to recuperate is not conducive to recovery. Mother, don't you want your daughter to marry into the palace as soon as possible?"

"How could that be? Well, send more people to follow us to avoid any trouble."

"Thank you, mother."

Gu Yunru smiled with her lips but not her eyes, and the moment she turned around, she suppressed all her joy and anger.

Several servants followed the carriage, but they didn't expect that the people in the carriage had already run away. Gu Yunru took Qingxing's hand and sat down in a teahouse, breathing heavily.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Aren't you going to the Dabei Temple to burn incense?"

Gu Yunru patted his chest, took the tea from Qingxing and said, "Why burn incense? I don't have a penny. What's the point of running away from the capital?"

Money can take you anywhere, but without money you can't go anywhere. Gu Yunru seems to be the eldest daughter of the Gu family, but in fact she is very poor. Last time, she was able to get some benefits from Rong Zhen's betrothal gift, but now she has nothing.

"Ah, Miss, what should we do? Actually, Qingxing thinks there is nothing wrong with marrying into the palace and becoming a princess. Besides, you have helped the prince so many times..."

"How about you marry him for me?"

"Ah, Miss, you are not really going to..."

Qingxing is a simple girl who believes whatever others say. Gu Yunru sighed helplessly, patted her shoulder and said, "It's rare for you to come out for some fresh air, so don't think about those things."

Gu Yunru was eating pastries when she suddenly heard a sound coming from the screen behind her.

"Brother Yuan, Yaoyao has remained a virgin for you, waiting for you to pass the imperial examination, and then marry her."

"Miss Gu, you misunderstood. This time I asked Miss Gu to meet in this teahouse because I wanted to make it clear to Miss Gu. Don't let your father say anything to my father. My father has worked in the Dali Temple for so many years and has never encountered such an embarrassing thing. Miss Gu is also very beautiful and should be more dignified. There are some things that I can't say."

Gu Yunru became interested when she heard this. It turned out that it was Gu Junyao and Cheng Shaoyuan again. Gu Junyao wanted to marry Cheng Shaoyuan, but Cheng Shaoyuan's family was strict and very old-fashioned.

"Brother Yuan, why do you treat me like this? If you really have no feelings for Yaoyao, then why do you show mercy to Yaoyao Sanxiao?"

Hearing this, Gu Yunru was completely shocked.

"Miss Gu, you really misunderstood. Unfortunately, I was stung by a wasp a few days ago and my mouth was swollen, so I gave people a false smile. Miss Gu, please don't misunderstand me."

"What's this about a wasp stinging the corner of your mouth? That's obviously a lie!"

Gu Junyao was so angry that her chest heaved. She was considered one of the best in the capital, but she had never expected that this guy named Cheng would be so ungrateful to her.

"You are nothing but a boastful playboy, and you are making up all kinds of lies to fool people. I don't want to see you again in my life!" Gu Junyao said angrily, and poured the tea in her hand directly on his face, then turned around and left the teahouse.

Cheng Shaoyuan was stunned and shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to find something to wipe the water off his face, he saw a figure in front of him, wearing a white veil hat and a slender and tall figure.

"Thank you very much."

Cheng Shaoyuan took the handkerchief handed to him by the woman and wiped the tea off his face.

Gu Yunru sat in front of him and said with a smile: "I have heard of Master Cheng's name for a long time, and today I finally have the honor of meeting him."

"Girl, please don't make fun of me. I must look very embarrassed."

"It's embarrassing, but as a gentleman, what's the big deal about having a cup of tea splashed on you?"

"It seems that you have heard what I just said. Please do not publicize this matter. I am just afraid that it will be detrimental to the reputation of Miss Gu."

Gu Yunru watched Cheng Shaoyuan's every move and found that he was indeed very elegant and was not annoyed by a cup of tea.

"Don't worry, I'll just pretend I didn't see anything just now."

"Thank you, young lady, and thank you for the handkerchief."

Cheng Shaoyuan put the handkerchief on the table, and at this time there was a commotion downstairs, which attracted the attention of the two.

"What happened?"

Gu Yunru stood up and looked around curiously. Qingxing ran over and said, "Miss, there's a fight downstairs, and the shopkeeper is holding a knife in his hand."

"What?"

Gu Yunru took the lead to go downstairs to check, and Cheng Shaoyuan followed. She was not good at resolving personnel disputes, but she was more interested in the cause.

"Oh, I heard that this shopkeeper has always been an honest person. Why is he so impulsive today and holding a knife?"
