"Are you telling the truth? This girl wants to escape?"
"Yes, it is absolutely true. Moreover, the eldest lady of the Gu family does not seem to recognize me. My elder sister used to serve the eldest lady personally on the farm. Although I look a bit like my elder sister, I am not completely unrecognizable."
"This girl is like a different person after waking up. Could it be that she really has opened her third eye? But it's not that she can't even recognize her nanny. It's a pity that Xiao Su died early, so I called you here. You stay with the girl and tell me everything she does."
Xiao Su was the real wet nurse, who died in a riot not long ago. When Mrs. Gu sent people to the farm to invite Xiao Su, she happened to learn that Xiao Su had a younger sister at home, and they were picking up her body and transporting it to her hometown village.
Mrs. Gu decided to go all out and let Xiao Su's sister impersonate Xiao Su. She originally wanted to test Gu Yunru, but she didn't expect that the test would actually reveal problems.
"You should pretend to be convincing, but don't show your true colors. This girl is very smart."
Madam Gu warned this little girl many times, but if she really went to the palace in the future, it was still uncertain whether she could guarantee the prosperity and wealth of the Gu family.
"Yes, I grew up with my sister. I can imitate my sister's daily manners and tone of voice very vividly. Naturally, this young lady can't see it."
"That's good. You will get a lot of benefits. Go back first. You can stay in Tinghua Garden when you have nothing to do."
"yes."
Gu Yunru went back to her room to pack up her things, packing up all the gold and silver. Anyway, she had nothing to worry about here, so she might as well take some money and go freely! As soon as she packed her bag, she suddenly thought of something and paused.
Gu Yunru came to the wet nurse's room and saw her doing needlework with a gentle smile on her face.
"Nanny, are you still busy so late?"
Xiao Su smiled at her, looking diligent and simple.
"The young lady is getting married soon, and I want to make some new bellyband styles."
"Nanny, you don't have to make these. What a smell, it smells so good."
Gu Yunru smelled a fragrant scent in the house, a smell that was not found in her yard. It seemed that the wet nurse had gone somewhere else.
"Nothing, I just put some spices on the fabric. The silk and satin that the prince sent is of excellent style. I'm afraid that there is no such good fabric in the whole Da Qi."
Gu Yunru sat down at the table and poured a pot of tea. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Nanny, I've made up my mind. You and Qingxing should leave the capital."
"What? The young lady is getting married..."
"What marriage? That's the Gu family's business and has nothing to do with me. They can't control me. Now my weak spots are only you and Qingxing. As long as you two are safe, that's all."
Gu Yunru solemnly took her hand and felt that there were no calluses on the wet nurse's hands, and it seemed as if she had never done any rough work.
In the past few years, Xiao Su had been working hard on the farm doing some rough and messy work. How could she not have any calluses on her hands? Gu Yunru felt something was wrong when she touched this place. She saw Xiao Su frowning and looking indecisive.
"I'm afraid this is not a good idea... This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. The entire Gu family will be severely punished."
Gu Yunru didn't take her words to heart, but instead smelled the scent of the Mozhi brought from Moxiang Pavilion on her clothes. This Mozhi only blooms in winter, and its roots and soil are fragrant. Gu Yunru felt that the smell was familiar because she had smelled it in Madam Gu's room and the Buddhist temple.
"Nanny, did Madam Gu ask you to go today?"
"No...I was in Tinghua Garden all day and didn't go anywhere."
Seeing the guilty and evasive look in the wet nurse's eyes, Gu Yunru slammed the table, ready to overwhelm her with his momentum.
"Lie, look what this is?"
The wet nurse didn't know what was stuck on her back until Gu Yunru took it out. She then looked more and more nervous and didn't dare to look her in the eye.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have encountered these pine needles in front of the Madam's door. The Madam likes to play with some exotic flowers and plants at the door. The smell on you should also be from her yard. Didn't you leave the Pavilion Garden today?"
Tinghua Garden is where Gu Yunru temporarily lives. It was originally an abandoned side house. Master Gu just asked someone to clean it up casually, but it is not as comfortable as the one where Gu Junyao and her sister live.
"My lady, are you doubting this servant?"
The wet nurse's face was very pale, and she wished she could kneel on the ground immediately to prove her innocence.
"It's not a suspicion, it's a conclusion. You are not a wet nurse."
Gu Yunru was too lazy to pretend with her anymore, so he spoke in a cold tone and looked straight ahead.
"How could that be? If I wasn't the eldest lady's wet nurse, wouldn't Qing Xing have recognized me at first sight?"

Although the wet nurse was nervous, she tried hard to disguise herself. She remembered what the mistress had told her that she must not reveal her true colors because of her guilty conscience. This young lady was indeed a shrewd person.
"I heard from Qingxing that you have a twin sister. You have worked so hard on the farm for so many years. How could there be no marks on your hands?"
When Gu Yunru said this, he glanced at her with a cold look, quickly grabbed her hand and raised it high in the air.
"Tell me, on whose orders did you come to me? Was it Gu Junyao or Gu Junyue?"
The nanny was so frightened that her body trembled, her lips and jaw began to tremble, and she shook her head desperately.
"Miss...I...I am following the orders of the Madam to stay by your side."
"I was saying, how could Gu Junyao and Gu Junyue have such brains? You were actually a trap set up by Madam Gu with so much trouble."
"Miss, please don't blame me. My life originally belonged to Madam Gu..."
Su lowered her head, her eyes filled with guilt.
"Okay, I don't mean to blame you, but I can't keep you by my side."
Gu Yunru didn't dare to use such a person. After all, he had just come into this body and didn't know much about the things around him.
"Miss, please let me stay with you. The Madam has said that if Miss finds out, she will chop me into pieces and feed me to the dogs. I still want to keep my life and serve Miss!"
Watching her kowtow repeatedly, even if her head was broken and bleeding, she would still stay by her side.
"Alright, alright, don't be so polite to me. Since you want to stay with me, it's not impossible, but you can't tell the Madam about what happened today."
Gu Yunru was nervous, but he felt relieved when he saw her nodding in agreement.
