"Third sister."
Gu Jiu made a prompt decision, called out to Gu Yue, and rushed over.
Pei Yun had just reminded her to avoid Zhou Yi, but as soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yi unexpectedly slapped Gu Yue in the face.
Gu Jiu didn't know what had happened.
But she knew that at this time, she had to pull Gu Yue away.
No matter how she and Gu Yue don't get along in normal times, they are both daughters of the Gu family in public, and they share the same fate.
If Gu Yue and Zhou Yi got into a fight, it would definitely be Gu Yue who would suffer. Maybe even she would be implicated.
Gu Jiu is not as petty as Gu Yue and knows when to do what.
She stepped forward and grabbed Gu Yue's hand, "Third sister, the madam wants us to come over."
Gu Yue was not convinced and stared at Zhou Yi with anger and confusion, "You..."
Gu Jiu hurriedly said to Zhou Yi: "Miss, my sister is not sensible, please forgive me."
While speaking, she pinched Gu Yue's arm hard, telling her not to speak anymore.
Gu Yue was not a fool. Thinking that this was the royal palace and Gu Jiu had deliberately held her back, she wondered if the person in front of her was from the royal family, someone she couldn't afford to offend?
Zhou Yi looked at the Gu Jiu sisters with a smile.
She asked Gu Yue, "Do you know why I hit you?"
Gu Yue was filled with anger and kept silent with a stern face.
Zhou Yi continued, "Because you are blocking my way."
Gu Yue was speechless, wanting to say how could she block the way in such a wide place? However, she thought that this person might be a member of the royal family, so she endured it and remained silent.
Gu Jiu said: "Since my sister is blocking the lady's way, why don't we leave now."
Gu Jiu pulled Gu Yue away.
Zhou Yi suddenly called out to Gu Jiu, "Is your last name Gu?"
Gu Jiu turned around, looked at the other person, and said nothing.
"When I came here, someone told me that the person wearing the apricot-colored dress was Gu Jiu. I looked around, and you were the only one wearing an apricot-colored dress. You must be Gu Jiu."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Exactly!"
"oh!"
Zhou Yi smiled meaningfully and looked Gu Jiu up and down.
"So you are Gu Jiu."
After saying that, he raised his hand and hit Gu Jiu in the face.
There was no way Gu Jiu was willing to just stand there and let others hit her. She was always on guard against the other party. When she saw him raise his hand, she immediately stepped back.
Zhou Yi's slap missed, and she was furious. She wanted to chase after Gu Jiu and hit him.
Gu Jiu's eyes turned cold and he shouted, "How dare you!"
Zhou Yi was stunned, then burst into laughter. "What did you say? How dare you scold me? Do you know who I am?"
Gu Jiu sneered, "Does it matter who you are? This is Prince Ning's residence, not the Princess's residence. I am the future wife of the Emperor's grandson, arranged by the Emperor himself. You dare to hit me, and in Prince Ning's residence, my future in-laws hit me. Believe it or not, even if I break your hand, even if the matter is brought before His Majesty, His Majesty will not punish me."
Zhou Yi's eyes were cold and he sneered, "You dare to break my hand and say that His Majesty won't punish you? Where does your confidence come from? Is it because you are the future wife of the emperor's grandson?"
"Because I am His Majesty's honor."
Gu Jiu angrily scolded Zhou Yi, "In the future, I will be a member of the royal family, and once you get married, you will be like spilled water, without a title. I want to ask you, when we meet again, do you think I dare to slap you in the face?"
Zhou Yi's expression was uncertain. "You're really amazing! You haven't even married into the royal family yet, but you dare to use the tiger's skin as a banner. So what if I hit you now?"
"If you hit me, you're hitting the Ning Palace. I don't believe this matter can be easily resolved, and you can easily walk out of the palace gate."
Zhou Yi laughed heartily, his eyes filled with malice. "In that case, why not just fight first and talk later?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yi's maid rushed forward and tried to grab Gu Jiu so that Zhou Yi could slap him.
How could Gu Jiu be willing to suffer a loss? He was not afraid of the future.
She pulled Gu Yue and turned to run.
"Don't let her get away."
Zhou Yi yelled.
"Who is not allowed to run away?"
A young woman walked into the hall and stopped Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi frowned slightly when he saw the person coming.
The person who came was the second young lady of Prince Ning’s Mansion, Ouyang.
Ouyang was married to the second son of a concubine, but she was the only young mistress of the Ning Palace, and she was very respectable. Moreover, she came from a military family and was not someone who would swallow her anger.
Besides, she is the only owner of the flower hall. No matter how domineering Zhou Yi is, she has to give face to the hostess.
"Hello, cousin." Zhou Yi called out reluctantly.
Gu Jiu looked at the situation and stopped running. He stepped forward and said, "Meet the Second Madam."
Ouyang looked at Gu Jiu and asked, "Are you the fiancée chosen by big brother?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "I am Gu Jiu."
Ouyang smiled and said, "What happened just now? I saw you running."
Gu Jiu hurriedly said, "This Miss Zhou, upon entering the room, slapped my third sister for no reason. The excuse was that my third sister was standing here and blocking her way.
I didn't want to cause any more trouble and wanted to take my third sister away. But I didn't expect that when she heard that I was Gu Jiu, she wanted to beat me again.
She was outnumbered and I was no match for her, so I had to run away."
When Ouyang heard the part where Gu Jiu said that she was no match for him and had to run away, she couldn't help laughing.
I immediately developed a liking for Gu Jiu.
Being able to clearly recognize one's own weaknesses and not trying to save face is adaptable, which is very good.
Ouyang nodded and said to Gu Jiu, "Miss Gu, I'm sorry. We invited you to our house and almost got you beaten. This is our palace's fault. I will handle this matter."
Zhou Yi frowned, "What should my cousin-in-law do? Shouldn't Gu Jiu be beaten?"
Ouyang's face turned cold. "I don't know whether Miss Gu should be hit or not. Cousin Zhou, let me remind you, this is Prince Ning's residence, not Princess Fuming's residence. You dare to hit our guests in the palace? Do you have Prince Ning's residence in your eyes? Do you believe that I will break your hand?"
"You dare!"
Zhou Yi was furious.
Ouyang snorted coldly, "Do you think I dare? What? You want to go to Her Royal Highness to complain? Go ahead, I just want Her Royal Highness to take good care of you. You're a guest in someone else's house and you hit someone without hesitation. Do you think you're the eldest young lady of the palace? Pah!"
Ouyang's words were extremely impolite, and could be said to be a slap in the face to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi's face flushed red, and she was about to order the maids to take action.
Ouyang immediately rolled up her sleeves and said, "If anyone dares to make a move in the palace, I will beat her to death."
The cry of "beat to death" frightened all of Zhou Yi's maids so much that they took a step back.
Zhou Yi was furious, "Ouyang Fu, what do you mean?"
Ouyang laughed sarcastically, "What I mean is, since you're here as a guest, just behave yourself. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face. Even if you make a big fuss, it doesn't matter. I'll invite the prince over, and you'll see how he'll deal with your niece."
Zhou Yi's face turned pale.
Prince Ning has no regard for family affection, nor does he care about face.
He doesn't even care about his own son, so how could he care about a niece?
If Prince Ning knew what had happened, he would definitely not punish Ouyang. Instead, he would praise Ouyang for doing the right thing and demonstrating the majesty of the prince's mansion.
Well, Prince Ning is such a weird person, he cannot be judged by common sense.
A man in his forties, still able to throw a tantrum in front of the Emperor, clearly shows that Prince Ning has no moral integrity. Don't judge his actions by the average person's thinking. Doing so will only lead to serious consequences.
Zhou Yi gritted her teeth and said, "You are so cruel. I won't do anything today, but after we leave the palace, you can't control me."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yi looked towards Gu Jiu with a look full of provocation and malice. As if to say, you wait for me.
Ouyang said, "I won't interfere with matters outside the palace. But be careful not to get into trouble."
Ouyang looked at Zhou Yi with a half-smile, as if ready to laugh at Zhou Yi's joke.
Zhou Yi frowned but said nothing.
She glared at Gu Jiu again and said, "Just wait for me."
Gu Jiu: Haha!
Just wait and see. Who is afraid of who?
When she becomes the wife of the emperor's grandson in the future, she will really use the tiger's skin as a banner to give Zhou Yi a good beating so that Zhou Yi will never dare to provoke her again.
Gu Jiu is such a vengeful person.
If Zhou Yi's current identity was not the eldest daughter of the princess and the granddaughter of the emperor, why would she wait until after marriage?
For a little woman to take revenge, ten days would be too late, let alone ten years.
Gu Jiu gave the other person a look and told him to come at him.
Zhou Yi sneered, showing considerable courage.
She said nothing more and left with her maids and servants.
Gu Jiu hurriedly said to Ouyang: "Thank you, Second Madam."
Ouyang pursed her lips and smiled, "Miss Gu, you're too polite. We'll get to spend more time together in the future."
"Anyway, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would be embarrassed today."
Gu Jiu said softly.
Ouyang pursed her lips and smiled, then saw Pei Yun in the crowd and waved for her to come over.
Pei Yun came over and said, "Sister Xiaojiu, are you okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, Sister Pei. I'm fine."
Ouyang said, "Miss Gu, you should thank Pei Yun. If she hadn't called me over in time, I wouldn't have been able to help you out."
Ah, it turns out that Ouyang was called by Pei Yun.
Gu Jiu hurriedly said: "Thank you, Sister Pei, you helped me a lot."
Pei Yun smiled and said, "It's my duty."
Ouyang said, "I'm busy, so I won't be able to talk to you. Pei Yun, please greet Miss Gu for me."
"Cousin, go and do your work. I'll keep an eye on this place."
Ouyang took his men away.
Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. "Second Madam came at the perfect time. Thanks to Sister Pei."
Pei Yun pondered for a moment, "Sister Gu, do you know why Zhou Yi is targeting you?"
Gu Jiu didn't know what was wrong with Zhou Yi, but when she heard Pei Yun ask her, she suddenly had an idea and said, "Could it be because of Master Zhao?"
Pei Yun nodded, "That's right. She thought I would marry Liu Zhao, so she targeted me everywhere. I couldn't argue with her, so as not to cause trouble for my father and brother. Generally speaking, I avoided her.
I didn't expect that she would target you as soon as she came today and even wanted to hit you. That's simply too much. Fortunately, Sister Gu, you were able to delay for so long, just enough for your cousin's wife to arrive."
Gu Jiu gritted his teeth, it turned out that it was Liu Zhao's fault again.
How much trouble did this bastard Liu Zhao cause him?
If Liu Zhao were here, Gu Jiu would have wanted to kick him over.
Nothing good happened to her, but a lot of mess happened to her.
Liu Zhao is indeed a trouble maker.
Pei Yun comforted Gu Jiu, "You don't have to worry about Zhou Yi causing trouble for you privately. I'll have someone tell Liu Zhao about this and let him handle it."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Liu Zhao should indeed be the one to handle this matter."
If she got hurt even a little bit because of Zhou Yi, Gu Jiu would hold a grudge against her and Liu Zhao for the rest of his life.
Yes, that’s right, I will hold a grudge for the rest of my life.
If not, it will be difficult to get rid of the hatred in my heart.
Someone is calling Pei Yun.
Pei Yun and Gu Jiu parted ways.
Gu Jiu instructed Qingmei to find a way to pass a message to Gu Ting in the outer courtyard, asking him to send someone to call Wang Yi.
Without Wang Yi around, Gu Jiu felt insecure.
If she had known she would meet Zhou Yi, the crazy one, she should have brought Wang Yi with her and replaced Qingzhu.
After this lesson, I believe that Gu Jiu will take Wang Yi with him wherever he goes in the future.
Gu Jiu went to find Gu Yue and the others.
She walked out of the flower hall and saw Gu Yue in the corridor.
There was no one around Gu Yue, not even the maid.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, walked forward, and said, "Third sister, why are you here?"
Gu Yue smiled coldly, "That slap I received was all because of you, Second Sister. It was you who provoked that woman named Zhou Yi, and then I took the brunt of it and took that slap for you."
Gu Jiu frowned, "What does Third Sister want to say?"
"You owe me."
Gu Yue said with gritted teeth.
Gu Jiu shook his head. "I don't owe anyone anything, including you. If anyone else were in your position today, they would have been slapped by Zhou Yi. It just so happens that your last name is Gu, Gu Yue, and you also happen to be my third sister."
Gu Yue said with a fierce expression: "Do you think I want to be your third sister? If I have a choice, I don't want to have anything to do with you. Every time, I am the one who suffers, and you are the one who is lucky. Why?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Just because I'm Gu Jiu, I'm luckier than you. Also, I wasn't born lucky. My luck today is all due to my own hard work. And your so-called luck is nothing but a pie in the sky."
"You're talking nonsense."
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know it best in your heart."
Gu Yue's face was grim, staring at Gu Jiu intently, "You just want to hit me, right?"
Gu Jiu sneered, "Do you really think so?"
Gu Yue gritted her teeth but said nothing.
Gu Jiu chuckled softly, "Anyway, neither of us can convince the other, so it's just a waste of words to say this."
Gu Yue sneered and turned to go to the flower hall next door. Zhang, Xie and the others were all inside.
Qingmei used the money and came to the outer courtyard of the palace and found Gu Ting.
"Third Young Master, could you please send someone back to the mansion to call Wang Yi over? The young lady can't do without her."
"What's wrong? Did something happen to my sister?" Gu Ting was very worried.
Qingmei looked around, pulled Gu Ting to a corner, and told him what had happened.
After hearing this, Gu Ting's face darkened. "What Zhou Yi? How dare she touch my sister? Is she seeking death?"
"Third Young Master, be careful with your words. Zhou Yi is the eldest daughter of the Princess's family. Her Majesty's grandson."
Gu Ting's face was stern. "I know. I'll send someone to call Wang Yi over and have him stand guard at the door."
But he had made up his mind to teach Liu Zhao a lesson.
After all, this incident was caused by Liu Zhao. Because of Liu Zhao, his sister was almost beaten. How could he swallow this breath?
It would be difficult to get rid of the hatred in my heart without giving Liu Zhao a beating.
After sending Qingmei away, Gu Ting looked everywhere for Liu Zhao.
As the eldest son of a royal family, why don't you come out to greet the guests?
Finally, he met the guard Zhao San.
"Guard Zhao."
Zhao San was stunned for a moment, and finally recognized Gu Ting.
"It turned out to be Master Gu. Master Gu wasn't drinking tea in the hall, so why did he come out?"
Gu Ting narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Where is Gongzi Zhao?"
"Master Gu wants to see my son?"
Gu Ting nodded. "He is engaged to my sister, and I have never met him. I want to take this opportunity to tell him something."
Guard Zhao San thought that Gu Ting was his son's future brother-in-law, so it was time for them to meet.
"Master Gu, come with me. I will take you to see my master."
"Thank you, Guard Zhao. Doesn't Master Zhao usually come out to greet guests?"
"The royal officials will take care of the guests, so there is no need for you to come forward."
Gu Ting was secretly astonished. The show of the young master of the royal palace was indeed extraordinary.
Zhao San brought Gu Ting to the East Courtyard's Documentary Garden, informed them, and then invited Gu Ting in.
Gu Ting walked into the Wenshuyuan and the study, and saw Gongzi Zhao.
This was the first time he had seen Gongzi Zhao so closely. He looked him up and down, nodding secretly. He was indeed a good-looking man.
Gongzi Zhao was also looking at Gu Ting. Is this Gu Jiu's biological brother? He is big and strong, and doesn't look very smart.
"You want to see me?"
Gu Ting nodded and walked forward, getting closer and closer to Gongzi Zhao.
When the two were two steps apart, Gu Ting suddenly raised his fist and hit Gongzi Zhao in the face.
