Gu Jinzhao looked out the window, and the branches were still banging against the window.
The dim candlelight in the ancestral hall reflected her face, making it difficult to see her expression.
"Miss……"
There was worry in Yuqi's eyes. If this matter is not clarified, he doesn't know what will happen in the future. Anyway, the girl in the family will definitely be the unlucky one in the end.
"Go back, don't let anyone find you."
Gu Jinzhao looked away, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, then knelt straight on the futon again.
When Yuqi left, Gu Jinzhao immediately called out that strange system in his mind.
She has not forgotten why she threw Lin Qingyue into the pond.
"System, where is my reward?"
[Ding, mission accomplished. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward, a white magnolia hairpin and 50 points. 】
As the mechanical electronic sound disappeared, Gu Jinzhao's head hurt, as if something had been forced into it.
After a cup of tea, the pain disappears and there is more information in my mind.
An hour later, Gu Jinzhao digested the extra information and figured out what the system was.
As long as you complete system tasks, you can get rewards and points, which can be exchanged for items in the system mall.
As the mission is completed, the system will be upgraded and the items in the mall will increase.
To put it simply, the system and her are mutually beneficial.
This was like pie in the sky and hit her on the head.
[It is detected that the host has 50 points, and the system mall is opened. 】
The sudden electronic sound startled Gu Jinzhao, but he quickly reacted.
"System, can we please stop making noises suddenly? It's so scary."
The system was silent for a while before speaking again.
[Limited time mission, expose Lin Qingyue’s lies within two days. After completing the mission, you will be rewarded with a white jade bracelet, a body-building pill, and 20 points. Mission failed, electric shock. 】
After releasing the task, the system will stop making any noise.
Gu Jinzhao's mouth twitched. Why did she feel that the system seemed to have a grudge against Lin Qingyue? Both missions were issued against Lin Qingyue.
Sighing softly, it was time to wake up. Even without Lin Qingyue, it would be impossible for her and the prince.
As soon as this thought came to my mind, my mind suddenly became clear.
The things she did in the past seemed very stupid now, and she couldn't do it according to her temperament.
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, the most important thing now was to get out of the ancestral hall to complete the task. She didn't want to be shocked.
As he tightened his clothes, a feeling of fatigue swept over him.
The door of the ancestral hall was pushed open, and the cool morning breeze rushed in, waking Gu Jinzhao up from the cold.
Ah sneeze!
She sneezed, her head felt dizzy, and her whole body had no strength.
I fell into the water yesterday and spent the whole night kneeling in the ancestral hall, so I was sick after all. But it's okay, I don't have to think of a way to get out of here.
"Don't blame your father. The family is not as good as it used to be. We can't afford to offend the prince. He punished you to kneel in the ancestral hall just to show outsiders."
Mrs. Jing'an Hou sat beside the bed, patted her hand and comforted her: "Just surrender, and this matter will be over."
Gu Jinzhao lowered his head, looking very well-behaved.
"Although my daughter was right about this, her action of throwing the person into the water again was a bit reckless. I heard that the eldest daughter of the Lin family fell ill, so I thought about asking my grandmother to ask Dr. Jiang to go to the Lin Mansion to take a look."
Mrs. Jingan Hou was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she realized who the grandmother Gu Jinzhao was talking about. There was a flash of jealousy in his eyes, but worry showed on his face.
"Zhaozhao, will your grandmother agree?"
Gu Jinzhao pursed his lips and said nothing. She was still very young when her mother passed away.
She vaguely remembered that they loved her, but she didn't know since when all her attention was focused on wielding swords and guns and the prince, and her relationship with them became weaker and weaker.
"I haven't been there for a long time, so I just went to see them."
Hearing Gu Jinzhao's words, Mrs. Jing'an Hou tightened her hand on the handkerchief, and the kindness on her face was almost unbearable: "Your grandmother is the most disciplined person. You must pay attention to it in the past and don't make her unhappy."
Gu Jinzhao's heart tightened when she heard this. It seemed that it was because of these words that she went to her grandfather's house less and less, and in the end she never went there again.
The thoughts that flashed through her mind made her heart beat violently...
"Mother, my daughter is fine. You can go take care of your sister."
That thought seemed to take root in her heart, and looking at the loving face in front of her, she didn't know how to face it.
"Okay, you should also take a good rest."
Mrs. Jingan Hou was worried about her daughter, so she asked Yuqi and the other maids to take care of Gu Jinzhao and then leave with them.
"Jade chess, prepare the rook."
"Miss, you are not feeling well yet..."
Before Yu Qi finished speaking, when he saw Gu Jinzhao looking over, he immediately shut up and turned around to go out and prepare the carriage.
After getting on the carriage, Gu Jinzhao took out a porcelain bottle from his brocade bag, poured the pills out and stuffed them into his mouth. His feeling of drowsiness and discomfort was immediately relieved.
Gu Jinzhao got out of the car and looked at the Taifu's Mansion, which was just around the corner, and suddenly felt a little timid.
"Jin Zhao?"
A surprised voice came. Gu Jinzhao looked back and saw a woman getting off the stopped carriage.
"Auntie."
"Hurry in with your aunt. Mother will be very happy to know that you are here."
The woman came over, took her hand and walked into the house. With a happy smile on his face, he was obviously very happy for her arrival.
Gu Jinzhao's heart calmed down, a smile broke out on his face, and he spoke affectionately.
"Auntie, how is grandma doing recently?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful voice came from the room.
"Is this Jin girl here?"
Hearing this voice, Gu Jinzhao's nose couldn't help but feel sore.
She quickly opened the curtain and walked into the house.
