Gu Jinzhao's face showed displeasure at being disturbed. He lowered his head and saw Gu Yuning kneeling at his feet. His expression changed, and he helped him up with distressed eyes.
"Sister, what are you doing? Kneel down for me properly?"
Gu Yuning:...
Her heart was filled with anger, but Gu Yuning didn't dare to show it, after all, she hadn't gotten what she wanted yet.
With her eyes slightly red, Gu Yuning sniffed and stood up with her hand, her face full of grievances.
"Sister, Yu Ning's knees hurt so much. Just now Yuqi and the others didn't allow me to come in to find you, and they even pushed me down."
Gu Jinzhao rolled his eyes inwardly, why did she only realize now that Gu Yuning was capable of telling lies with open eyes.
"Girl, this slave didn't push the second girl."
Seeing Yu Qi's anxious face, Gu Jinzhao gave her a comforting look, and then pulled Gu Yuning toward the house.
"Yu Qi, go to the small kitchen and ask Aunt Zhang to make Yu Ning's favorite peach blossom cake."
Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned around and walked towards the small kitchen. Their girls seemed to be a little different from before, but this change made people very happy.
Gu Jinzhao became cheerful when he saw Yu Qi leaving, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Sister, you are too kind to your servants. If you don't know how to discipline yourself, sister can help you."
Gu Yuning was angry. In the past, a fool like Gu Jinzhao would punish the maids around him, but this time he didn't do it!
Every time she punished the maids in the courtyard, she bribed them privately. Except for the four personal servants of Yuqi, almost all of them were hers.
"No need to bother sister." Gu Jinzhao poured her a cup of tea and handed it over, changing the subject: "Why is my sister looking for me for something important? If it's still about the headwear, then there's no need to talk about it."
Gu Yuning frowned and looked at the pale-faced Gu Jinzhao, always feeling that her attitude towards him seemed a bit cold.
With a slight change of mind, the dissatisfaction and anger on her face disappeared, and she showed an innocent and lovely smile.
"From what my sister said, it seems like my sister is here just to borrow her things."
Gu Jinzhao picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the sweet tea.
"Sister, of course, is not such a person. If I want to use that glazed butterfly hairpin, please ask someone to send it back."
If the system hadn't suddenly issued a mission to get back the glazed butterfly hairpin she borrowed, she wouldn't have bothered to let Gu Yuning into the house.
Gu Yuning's hand holding the tea cup paused, and her brows furrowed slightly. Although the hairpin was not very expensive, it was more beautiful because of its novelty. Every time she wore it, she would be surrounded by people asking where it came from, which satisfied her vanity.
"That hairpin..."
"Does my sister not want to give it back to me?" Gu Jinzhao frowned and looked at her with slight disapproval: "If this is the case, I will not dare to borrow anything from my sister again in the future."
Gu Jinzhao knew Gu Yuning well. Once she said this, she would definitely ask someone to return the things obediently. After all, she wanted to borrow better things from her.
"I'll ask someone to pick it up and return it to my sister."
Sure enough, she immediately sent someone to get it. When the hairpin was obtained, Gu Jinzhao heard the message that the task was completed.
"Okay, I still have things to do, so you can go back first."
Seeing the unwillingness flashing in Gu Yuning's eyes, Gu Jinzhao spoke again: "My sister still has a lot of things she borrowed from me. I hope I can return them to their original owners before I come back from Nanshan Temple."
The innocent and cute smile on Gu Yuning's face froze. It was absolutely impossible for her to return all the things she borrowed from Gu Jinzhao.
"Sister, I remembered something else, so I'll go back first and won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, he stood up and left in a hurry, as if a ghost was chasing him.
The corners of Gu Jinzhao's mouth raised. It didn't matter if he ran away, things always had to be returned.
