In the hall of the main courtyard, Marquis Jing'an and his wife were sitting on the couch, and several aunts and young masters from the mansion were also there.
As soon as she entered, Gu Jinzhao felt that the atmosphere was a little unusual, so she stepped forward to greet the two of them.
"Father, mother is fine."
Marquis Jing'an looked at his eldest daughter, his slender eyes filled with indifference and his expression cold.
"My father dreamed of your mother last night. She misses you very much. Tomorrow I will pack up and go to Nanshan Temple to light an ever-burning lamp for her, and then copy a Buddhist scripture to pray for her."
Gu Jinzhao lowered his eyes slightly. It had been a long time since she heard about her mother from her father.
"Okay, then my daughter will go back and prepare things now, and take Yuqi with her tomorrow morning."
Marquis Jingan nodded slightly, then looked at the lady beside him, with a softer look on his face.
"Leave the rest to Madam, I have to leave first."
"good."
Mrs. Jingan Hou had a gentle voice and her eyes were as gentle as water. She stood up and personally escorted the person out. She waited until the person walked away before turning around and sitting back on the couch.
She glanced at everyone, and when she saw a brightly dressed woman, a dark light flashed in her eyes.
"Jin Zhao and Yu Ning stay, everyone else should disperse."
Everyone left, but the bright-looking woman did not leave. She looked at the gentle-looking Madam Marquis Jing'an. His expression was cold and his tone lacked any respect.
"Madam, tomorrow I will go with the eldest daughter to Nanshan Temple to pray for my late wife. I have already said hello to the Marquis, and the Marquis has agreed."
Mrs. Jing'an Hou didn't even have a chance to refuse. After speaking, the woman turned around and left.
Mrs. Jing'anhou's face turned green with anger, but she could only bear it when she thought of something. Turning to look at the two of them, there was a hint of exhaustion in his voice.
"Zhaozhao, mother has something to ask you for help."
Gu Jinzhao withdrew his eyes from the slender figure, looked at Madam Marquis Jing'an, and stepped forward to hold her arm.
"Mother, why are you still seeing your daughter? If you keep doing this, your daughter will be angry."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yuning stepped forward and took Madam Jing'an Hou's other hand affectionately.
"I said my sister would definitely agree. She loves me the most."
Mrs. Jingan Hou gave her an angry look, and then her eyes fell on Gu Jinzhao: "In a few days, there will be a flower viewing banquet hosted by the Queen. You also know that my mother doesn't have much jewelry in her hands, so I want to borrow yours." Use it as a set of gold and red onyx headdresses with beads.”
When Gu Jinzhao heard this, he lowered his eyelids slightly to block the cold light under his eyes.
She now understood that it was a lie to bring her to Nanshan Temple to light up lanterns and pray for her mother, but not to allow her to participate in the Queen's flower-viewing banquet was true. Moreover, she was still thinking about that headdress.
"Well, it's not that my daughter doesn't want to lend her sister that headdress. It's just that a few days ago, I promised to give that headdress to my cousin. This time, I was able to persuade my grandmother to ask Dr. Jiang. My cousin helped a lot."
"What? You gave that tiara away?"
When Mrs. Jingan Hou heard this, her voice rose uncontrollably and became sharp and harsh.
Gu Jinzhao nodded, with confusion in his eyes: "Yes, my cousin has always liked that set of jewelry. She has been so helpful, so I must give her a thank you gift."
Gu Yuning on the side cursed an idiot in her heart, but there was anger on her face.
"Sister, my cousin is just helping you say a few words in front of your grandma. How can you ask for such an expensive headdress? She is trying to trick you."
Mrs. Jing'anhou also came to her senses. Remembering her excitement just now, she quickly changed her attitude and raised her hand to tap her forehead.
"Why are you so stupid, kid!"
Gu Jinzhao took a step back without leaving a trace, but he sneered in his heart. Did Gu Yuning borrow enough jewelry from her?
He said he borrowed it, but he never paid it back.
"Mother, my sister borrowed a lot of valuable jewelry from me, which is enough to attend the Queen's flower viewing banquet. My daughter has to go to Nanshan Temple tomorrow, so go back and pack her things first."
Without giving the mother and daughter a chance to speak, Gu Jinzhao turned around and left quickly.
