Chapter 18 Aunt Nan seeks cooperation

Aunt Nan smoothed the wrinkles on her sleeves and raised her eyes to look at the girl who was looking at her. A faint smile appeared on the bright and moving face.

Gu Jinzhao felt that this smile was like a blooming mountain flower, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away. Even as a woman, she was stunned. No wonder she had been favored by her father for so many years.

"I want to cooperate with the eldest girl."

cooperate?

Gu Jinzhao came back to his senses and looked at Aunt Nan who had stopped smiling with some confusion.

"What does Aunt Nan want to do with me?"

Could it be that Aunt Nan knew about opening a restaurant?

The idea flashed through her mind, but she quickly rejected it. Except for her and Si Hua, not even Yu Qi or the others knew about this matter.

"Miss, do you want to know the truth behind your biological mother's death?"

Gu Jinzhao's expression became serious and he stared at Aunt Nan who looked calm.

"Aunt Nan, what do you want to say?"

Aunt Nan put her hands on her legs, straightened her large sleeves, and then spoke slowly.

"My first wife did not die of illness, but she was poisoned by someone. And the person who poisoned my wife is my current wife."

Gu Jinzhao tightened his hands on his legs, suppressing the turmoil in his heart and making himself look calm.

"My mother has always treated me very well. If Aunt Nan can't provide evidence, how can Jin Zhao believe her?"

Aunt Nan glanced at Gu Jinzhao's clenched hands on her lap, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

"The eldest lady's attitude towards the madam and the second girl has changed in the past few days. I think she has discovered something. Otherwise, I would not dare to come here to seek cooperation. As for the evidence, the eldest lady will see it in a few days."

Gu Jinzhao pursed his lips and said nothing. This Aunt Nan was either very keen, or her stepmother had someone for her.

Of these two possibilities, she prefers the latter.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Aunt Nan's so-called evidence."

She lowered her eyes to block the surging emotions in her eyes. Today's news shocked her too much.

She has no memory of her biological mother. She was brought up by her stepmother when she was very young. But if she was really harmed by her stepmother, the revenge must be avenged.

After gathering his thoughts, Gu Jinzhao raised his eyes and asked Aunt Nan.

"Aunt Nan wants to cooperate with me, but what is she asking for?"

Aunt Nan did not cover up, and her bright red lips uttered two cold words: "Revenge!"

Gu Jinzhao trembled, and she felt a surge of murderous intent from just two words.

She didn't want to get involved in the feud between Aunt Nan and her stepmother, but as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

"I'm just an unloved legitimate daughter. How can I help Aunt Nan?"

Aunt Nan looked at the girl who lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"you can."

Seeing that Aunt Nan had finished speaking firmly and stopped talking, Gu Jinzhao opened his mouth and finally asked no more questions. Sooner or later, she would know the reason.

Neither of them spoke anymore, and the carriage fell into silence.

After a cup of tea, the carriage left the South City Gate and drove quickly towards Nanshan Temple.

Not long after Gu Jinzhao left the city gate, Lin Qingyue sent a message inviting Gu Yuning to his house.

"Mother, will my daughter respond to Lin Qingyue's post?"

Gu Yuning was not familiar with Lin Qingyue. She despised this person from the bottom of her heart. She was just the legitimate daughter of a low-ranking official. If it weren't for the support of the prince, it would be impossible to gain a foothold in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing.

"Of course I agree, you still have to be friends with Lin Qingyue."

Gu Yuning looked at her mother with some confusion and frowned slightly.

"Does mother want me to please her?"
