Feng Zhanye’s worries were not unfounded. As soon as Gu Qingzhi pulled Zuo Lanxin away, the little girl started cursing.

"Let go! You lowly slave, let me go! You are just a dog kept by Brother Ye, why should you replace him to accompany me to the garden!"

This was not the first time that she scolded him. Gu Qingzhi felt that her ears were getting calloused. She pretended not to hear and continued to drag her away.

Zuo Lanxin's maid also eagerly pulled Gu Qingzhi's arm, her face full of anxiety.

"Let our young lady go!"

Although Zuo Lanxin cursed fiercely, her steps staggered unconsciously.

Gu Qingzhi held her tightly, and since she was taller and had longer legs than the other girls, her steps were naturally bigger. Zuo Lanxin couldn't get rid of her and could only passively follow her pace, and her feet could hardly keep up.

After all, this was not the prime minister's residence. As a lady from a wealthy family, she had to consider the eyes of the people around her. However, she had never walked so much at home. After following for a while, her legs became sore and her feet hurt. She had to beg for mercy in a weak voice.

"Don't go...my feet hurt, please stop."

Gu Qingzhi calculated that the distance to the courtyard where Feng Zhanye was was far enough, and if she walked any further she would almost reach the banquet area for the female relatives, so she stopped.

Upon seeing this, the maid rushed forward to support her and patted her back to help Zuo Lanxin calm down.

Zuo Lanxin took a long time to catch her breath, feeling relieved. She quickly tidied her appearance, fearing that others would notice her embarrassment.

The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. So many people had watched her being dragged away by a servant along the way. She didn't know how much gossip would spread today. The opportunity she had finally found to spend time with Brother Ye was ruined.

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but glare at Gu Qingzhi fiercely.

"Why don't you let me follow Brother Ye? Brother Ye didn't say he wouldn't agree to me, why are you so anxious to pull me away!"

Gu Qingzhi was too lazy to explain to her and just said, "Your Highness has something to do."

Zuo Lanxin was furious. What kind of lame excuse was this?

To put it bluntly, doesn't he just not want her to get close to Brother Ye?

If she was offended like this by a servant from another prime minister's mansion, she would ask her elder brother to sell the person out directly. However, Brother Ye always sided with this lowly slave and even got angry with her for him many times.

It would be great if there was any way to teach him a lesson. Of course, it would be even better if Brother Ye could be separated from his master and servant.

Gu Qingzhi felt a chill down her spine when she was stared at by Zuo Lanxin with resentment. She thought she was going to curse at her again, but she suddenly smiled sweetly at her.

I don't know why, but my back felt even colder.

Gu Qingzhi was surprised by the sudden smile on Zuo Lanxin's face. However, what she didn't expect was that Zuo Lanxin no longer tried to break free from her hand, but instead held her wrist affectionately.

"Since you don't want me to disturb Brother Ye, then you have to do me a favor." Zuo Lanxin thought for a moment, then lowered her voice mysteriously and spoke to Gu Qingzhi.

Gu Qingzhi glanced at her suspiciously. As far as she knew, if a person could change his attitude so quickly, either something had happened suddenly or he was plotting some conspiracy.

"What's the deal?"

Zuo Lanxin pointed at the hair ornament on her head and said, "I just went to the side room to sort out my clothes and accidentally dropped my hairpin there. I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. If you can help me find it, I won't go to look for Brother Ye today. How about that?"

Gu Qingzhi almost forgot that this little girl was not only spoiled, but also had some shrewd tricks that a girl should have. However, those tricks were useless to her. Even if there was any problem, she could just get out of it in time.

"Are you serious?"

Gu Qingzhi had already made a decision in her heart and asked Zuo Lanxin.

Zuo Lanxin nodded: "Of course."

"Okay, I promise you."

The three of them did not delay any longer. After all, Gu Qingzhi also wanted to return to Feng Zhanye as soon as possible to listen to what he and Defei talked about, so she quickly followed Zuo Lanxin and the maid to the side room she mentioned.

Seeing Gu Qingzhi push open the door and walk in without any precautions, Zuo Lanxin showed an ulterior motive smile on her face. She whispered a few gestures to the maid, followed her into the house, and closed the door tightly.

Normally, men and women should at least keep the door open when staying in the same room to avoid suspicion, but Zuo Lanxin closed the door in such a hurry that Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but look at her strangely.

Zuo Lanxin also reacted, glared at her hurriedly, and held her forehead and said, "Why, what are you afraid of? It's windy outside, it's giving me a headache, can't I close the door?"

Gu Qingzhi pursed her lips and thought, "It's up to you," and turned her attention back to finding something.

The room was cleaned very cleanly, and there was no shiny object like a hairpin on the surface, so Gu Qingzhi had to look for it in the corner.

"Miss Third, do you still remember when your hair accessories disappeared?"

While she was looking, she asked Zuo Lanxin.

Zuo Lanxin followed behind and stared at her movements. She rolled her eyes and pointed at the bed, pretending to recall something, saying, "I remember... I was sitting on the bed, and the servants were dressing me up. I don't remember anything else."

Gu Qingzhi looked at the bed and found that there were indeed traces of someone having sat on it. If the item was left while dressing, it was most likely near the bed.

She kept her ears open at all times, listening carefully to the noises around her in case Zuo Lanxin suddenly did anything. She picked up the bedding on the couch and started rummaging through it.

Zuo Lanxin also pretended to be looking for something, looking around and muttering to herself.

"That's strange. I remember losing it in this area. How come I can't find it?"

She muttered to herself and moved towards Gu Qingzhi little by little.

Gu Qingzhi heard her footsteps approaching and followed her every move out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that she was really looking for something, he didn't think much about it.

Suddenly, she felt a force pushing her from behind, and she fell onto the couch without paying attention.

She was about to turn around and stand up for some unknown reason, when she vaguely felt a knee suddenly pressing on her waist, which happened to crush the wound on her lower back.

Severe pain and numbness came together, forcing her twisting waist to be pressed tightly against the bed again.

The stabbing pain in the wound made her unable to move, so she had to let the knee press on her wound.

Only then did she see clearly that the person behind her was Zuo Lanxin.

At this moment, she had completely cast aside the dignified elegance of the daughter of the prime minister's family in the past, and sat astride her like a madman, with madness flashing in her eyes.

While rubbing her lip balm on her lips, she loosened her outer robe, stared at Gu Qingzhi with bloodshot eyes and laughed shrilly.

"Does it hurt? Who made you so stupid that you even believed such words? You have repeatedly hindered me and Brother Ye, and you even dared to deliver yourself to my door. Should I say that you don't take me seriously or that you are too arrogant? Why do you think I will let you go?"

Gu Qingzhi endured the pain and turned around, reaching out to push her off her, but she held her arm tightly and wrapped around her like an octopus, pressing her injured part accurately with one hand again.

"If you want to blame someone, just blame Brother Ye for caring about you too much. If he hadn't asked you if it hurt when he came, I wouldn't have known."

"Uh......"

As she pressed harder, Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but let out a sound. However, this sound not only failed to stop her actions, but instead seemed to please her.

She touched the long scab on Gu Qingzhi's wound and scratched it hard with her fingernails through her clothes.

Although Gu Qingzhi is a girl, she looks like a man. Now the girl is sitting on a grown man with a smile on her face, making fun of his injuries, which seems ridiculous and scary.

"You'd better lie here and let your master see with his own eyes how you flirt with me. If you still want to resist, don't blame me for being even more ruthless to you."

Seeing that Gu Qingzhi was sweating from the pain, Zuo Lanxin loosened her hands from her wound and reached out to touch her buttons.
