Gu Yan thoughtfully brought a bronze mirror and placed it in front of Bai Zhi, and he himself acted as the mirror stand and stood still.
Bai Zhi felt for a moment like a conscienceless master who abused her servants, even though she had not given any orders.
But the mirror was already there, and there was no point in just standing there. Bai Zhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and apply the medicine on her neck.
Why do you feel so uncomfortable? You weren't like this when I asked Qiaoqiao to do some work before.
"Ahem, do you know where the treasury is?" Bai Zhi brought up a new topic abruptly.
"It's the house that looks like a Buddhist temple behind the garden." Gu Yan paused, "Not enough money?"
Bai Zhi: "Qiao Wanwan told me that the old lady has a phoenix robe given by the queen, which is placed in the treasury. She wants to work with me to tamper with the phoenix robe so as to alienate the old lady and Ge Zhen at the old lady's birthday banquet, and then she can grab the position of head of the family."
Gu Yan: "There are two gates inside and outside the treasury, and both have extremely complicated brass locks on them. The outer door must be opened with the key in the hands of the eldest lady. This phoenix robe is placed in a huanghuali wood box at the deepest part of the outer door. The box is nailed to the wall and locked. The key is in the hands of the old lady. I don't know where the eldest lady put the key, but the old lady never leaves her key, so it's not easy to tamper with it."
Bai Zhi: "The robe is placed outside the gate? Are you sure?"
"Yes, the old lady once took me to see it herself."
Bai Zhi subconsciously grabbed a handful of messy hair and said, "It doesn't match what Qiao Wanwan said. She was probably deceived. Oh, and only Ge Zhen can enter the treasury with the key in person?"
Gu Yan: "There are people guarding outside the treasury, and they only recognize the eldest lady and the old lady."
This is just as difficult as Qiao Wanwan said. Bai Zhi thought about it and realized that it would be difficult to do it under the noses of either of these two people... What if she steals the key and then uses the disguise technique in Gu Yan's hand?
Gu Yan interrupted Bai Zhi who was thinking: "Are you hungry? Qiaoqiao has come to deliver meals three times."
Bai Zhi pulled away suddenly and asked in surprise, "Qiaoqiao came into the room?"
"No, I stopped you at the door because you didn't sleep well last night and you're still not awake."
Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. That's right, seeing her like this, Qiaoqiao would have to wake her up.
Gu Yan leaned forward and repeated, "Are you hungry?"
Bai Zhi shuddered. She considered her words for a long time and said seriously, "Chu Yunchuan, you don't have to be like this."
Gu Yan opened his eyes slightly.
"You were unconscious yesterday and didn't recognize me, so you hurt me. I don't blame you. Besides, you've already admitted your mistake. You shouldn't..." Bai Zhi took a long time to pick out the right words, "take the blame on yourself."
In fact, Bai Zhi wanted to say "show her courtesy", but when the words came to her lips she felt it was a bit hurtful, so she changed it on the spot.
Gu Yan looked at her nose and then his heart. He was silent for a long time before looking up at her: "Don't worry, I will never go crazy again."
Bai Zhi chuckled, "You think you are a god, how can you control yourself from going crazy?" As soon as she said this, Bai Zhi felt that this was a bit weird, so she changed her tone, "Go crazy when you need to go crazy, cry when you need to cry, eat and drink after you're done, don't keep it in."
A beam of sunlight from outside suddenly came in and fell directly on Gu Yan's face. He was completely unaware of it and did not even try to dodge. He just stood there staring at Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi looked at Gu Yan, who looked surprised or enlightened, and thought to herself that when the moon is full, it will wane, and when the water is full, it will overflow, and when people are full, they will go crazy. So be it. Even a pirate ship has to dock to rest. If the ship tells the passengers, "Don't worry, I will never dock even if I leak water," then the passengers will be scared to death.
Zuo Changfeng and Fang Zhiheng were able to hold him back, this thing is not a matter of practice. At most, after the injury is healed, they can learn a few moves of grappling techniques. Can't they hold down a madman?
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from Ming Xin: "Madam San, the old lady wants you to come in."
Bai Zhi's face fell.
Gu Yan came back to his senses and said, "You have injuries on your body, I will go and treat them."
"No," Bai Zhi said, "I can't always offend her. And maybe Ge Zhen is here too, so I can go see what she's up to."
Gu Yan wanted to say something, but Bai Zhi chased him behind the screen. After a rustling sound, Bai Zhi changed into a new set of clothes, tied a scarf around her neck, and managed to comb her hair to be presentable. She strode to the dining table that had not been cleared yet, picked up a few chopsticks of leftovers with her left hand, then shook her sleeves to cover her right hand and went out.
Gu Yan stared at Bai Zhi's back in a trance, then reached out and slowly placed his hand on his chest.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but it was very hot inside.
He took a dozen deep breaths, then pulled himself together and shouted to the door, "Mingxin, please ask Doctor Fang to come in."
Madam Gu and Ge Zhen were chatting in the main room at this time.
"Mother, if you ask me, this third sister-in-law has not been in the mansion for long. Moreover, she is a concubine's daughter and does not know the etiquette, so it is inevitable that she will make mistakes. You can just discipline her a few times, but please don't make her sick."
Madam Gu's face was gloomy. "I saw that Yan'er really liked her, so I treated her well. I didn't expect that she, as a daughter-in-law, would go too far. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that her injury had healed. She didn't come to pay her respects for three consecutive days. She is simply taking advantage of her favor and becoming arrogant!"
Ge Zhen fanned the flames: "Yes, mother, if you have time, you should talk to my third brother. A real man should have ambitions. He has finally made friends in the officialdom with the Marquis this year. How can he always be around the lady?"
The youngest son, who had never liked to curry favor with officials, suddenly changed his nature a year ago and followed his eldest son in the world of fame and fortune. He also helped his eldest brother do many things, allowing his eldest brother to gain a lot of benefits.
Who would have thought that just a few days after marrying his wife, he would do such a thing as closing himself off from Yishui Garden and staying indoors to accompany his wife to recuperate from her injuries for a month. He was truly blinded by lust.
Mrs. Gu was filled with hatred when she thought of this, and in her heart she regarded Bai Zhi as a vixen with a charming mind.
"Madam, the third lady is here."
As soon as Bai Zhi walked in, she felt that something bad was going to happen.
In the hall, Old Madam Gu had a dead look on her face, as if someone owed her eight million taels of silver, but Ge Zhen just smiled, and no one knew how many knives were hidden in her smile.
Bai Zhi stepped forward and bowed: "The daughter-in-law wishes her mother and sister-in-law all the best."
Madam Gu said, "You from the third house, have you finally remembered to greet me, your mother?"
Bai Zhi knew why the old lady wanted to talk to her - damn, asking about her well-being was such a trivial matter that she had completely forgotten about it after she recovered from her illness!
"My daughter-in-law has a secret." Bai Zhi said, "After recovering from her injury, she sustained a new injury. She has not been able to see anyone these days. I have not been able to greet you, mother, and have not been able to inform you in time. Please forgive me, mother."
