After a pause, she said to Mother Hu, "Tell that damn girl not to think that she can be arrogant just because she is the Princess of a County. Even though the Gu family needs her help, without the support of her family, she may not be able to live a peaceful life in the Pingyang Palace. Jinse is her biological sister, and sisters should support each other, otherwise she will only have a reputation for being mean."

The emperor is far away and Gu Zhiyin has married into the Pingyang Palace. She cannot reach out to her, so she can only put Mother Hu next to her to control her. However, after getting married, Gu Zhiyin is obviously out of her control. Jiang does not dare to break up with Gu Zhiyin, so she can only use her status to suppress her.

Even if she is not her biological daughter, she is still Gu Zhiyin's nominal mother.

Mother Hu looked at Jiang, who seemed to be about to be driven into a corner, and lowered her eyes and agreed.

Jing'an Temple is located in a remote area and is not as popular as the two major temples in the capital, which are believed by dignitaries and have a lot of worshippers. However, because the abbot of the temple is a high-level monk, there are also many people who come to burn incense and worship Buddha, especially wealthy people.

The two famous temples are majestic and solemn, and are more popular among dignitaries.

Zheng Wei, the steward of the palace, had made arrangements in advance in a very remote room at the back of the temple. The monks thought that it was the concubine of some wealthy businessman who came to worship Buddha behind closed doors and had no idea of ​​Lin Jianyue's true identity.

Qingcheng pretended to be a refugee to gain the sympathy of the monks and sneaked into Jing'an Temple, where he was able to stay temporarily to help with work.

Within a few days, Qingcheng asked Mother Hu to bring the news.

"What the Princess of the County predicted was correct. Qingcheng said that a man entered the room where Aunt Lin was last night. A guard first put smoke in the old woman's room and then stood guard outside. He was afraid of being discovered so he didn't dare to get too close. The man stayed for about a cup of tea and then left."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyin took out a pen and paper and drew a portrait of the man.

She blew on the ink and handed it to Mother Hu: "Let Qingcheng identify it, but it's the man in this portrait."

The one Gu Zhiyin painted was none other than the third prince Chu Chengnan.

Mother Hu took the portrait and couldn't help but feel suspicious. How could the Princess know who Aunt Lin's adulterer was?

But he was smart enough not to ask.

Mother Hu asked Qingcheng to identify the portrait, but Qingcheng looked at it for a long time but couldn't recognize it.

The reason was that it was too dark and I didn’t dare go too close for fear of disturbing them.

Mother Hu rolled her eyes in anger: "You are so stupid, what use is there for you?"

"You are smart, come here! Mom, I am not saying anything bad about you, but you are greedy while having your cake and eat it too. Sooner or later you will capsize. Aren't you afraid of drowning?" Qing Cheng fought back with a dark face.

In his opinion, his mother was eating the eldest lady's food and still looking at the lady's pot.

Since she has been married into the palace with the eldest lady, she should serve the eldest lady wholeheartedly. Even though the lady is also the master, she should not let the lady be a spy for the eldest lady.

People should keep their original heart.

Mother Hu knew what her son meant, and glared at him angrily: "You little brat, you're so capable that you even dare to teach me a lesson."

It’s a good thing that my son doesn’t know that he has already decided to follow the Princess, so he has this misunderstanding.

At least he thought so, and the lady wouldn't have any doubts.

Qing Cheng was so shocked by his mother's momentum that he shrank his neck weakly, but soon he mustered up his courage again: "Did I say anything wrong? If you weren't my mother, I wouldn't advise you."

Mother Hu was so angry that she slapped his arm and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Do your job properly. If you can't do what the Princess asked you to do, you'll have to watch out for yourself."

Speaking of this, Qing Cheng immediately put his arm around Mother Hu's shoulders shamelessly and asked in a low voice: "Mom, how did the Princess know it was this man?"

Mother Hu said expressionlessly, "I don't know. That's why I didn't let you confirm it. Who knew you were so useless that you couldn't even remember his face when you had such a good opportunity? Who knows when he will come next time?"

Qing Cheng: “…”

His mother is a little weird.

There must be something they are hiding from me, or maybe they are not real mother and son.

"If you do it again, I'll definitely be able to see who it is." Qing Cheng promised through gritted teeth.

……

Gu Zhiyin had some time to inspect the shop that she had brought as a dowry. When she came out of the iron shop, she saw a group of familiar people walking towards the Golden Building across the street.

"Miss."

Gu Zhiyin shouted happily.

Fu Yunyao, who had just stepped into the shop, turned around and saw Gu Zhiyin. A smile immediately appeared on her face: "Yinyin."

Gu Zhiyin walked towards Fu Yunyao.

Pei Shuyan was with Fu Yunyao. When she heard the voice, she turned around and glanced at Gu Zhiyin with an indifferent look, then went straight into the Golden Building.

"Sister, why are you with her?" Gu Zhiyin asked with a frown, looking at Pei Shuyan's back.

Fu Yunyao smiled and said, "We just happened to meet, so let's go shopping together."

"No, it's actually the madam who asked the princess to accompany the guy named Pei, saying that she was new in the capital and wasn't familiar with the place, so she had to be treated well." Qianyue said angrily.

Gu Zhiyin showed a surprised look: "What? Pei Shuyan is just the daughter of a salt merchant, and my elder sister is a princess, but she wants you to accompany her?" Is the wife of Marquis Xing'an crazy?

"That's right. The princess is a noble person, why should she accompany a merchant girl? Madam's behavior not only makes the princess lower her status, but also slaps her in the face. Yet Pei Shuyan looks so complacent." Qianyue listened to Gu Zhiyin's words, and the dissatisfaction in her heart was like a flood that broke through the dam, pouring in continuously.

The most infuriating thing is that the person who asked the princess to accompany Pei Shuyan was the wife of Marquis Xing'an, the princess's mother-in-law.

"Qianyue, shut up. If you dare to talk nonsense again, you don't have to follow me anymore." Fu Yunyao turned around and glared at Qianyue, scolding.

Even though her mother-in-law had many faults, the rules and etiquette ingrained in her bones would not allow her to openly criticize her mother-in-law in the street.

Gu Zhiyin glanced at Fu Yunyao and sighed slightly.

As a princess, Fu Yunyao grew up in strict accordance with the teachings of aristocratic families, making herself the most perfect daughter of aristocratic families, gentle, dignified and respectful of rules.

So even though she knew that Lady Xing'an's behavior was inappropriate, she did not refuse.

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do, big sister, you don't mind having me here with you, right?" Gu Zhiyin said with a smile.

Fu Yunyao was very happy when she heard that. She quickly pulled Gu Zhiyin towards the Golden Tower and said, "Look at what you said. I'm so happy that you're with me. Let's go and see if there's anything you like. I'll give it to you."
