The woman was very petite, with a face painted with makeup and a very thin figure.
Gu Yao frowned, feeling a little disgusted.
Gu Yao was about to stand up, but suddenly found that the woman rushed straight into her arms.
\"Sister Gu! Help! I'm about to die!\" The woman cried and threw herself into Gu Yao's arms.
Gu Yao was stunned and reached out to support the woman.
I saw that the woman was wearing tatters, and her clothes were stained with mud and blood.
It looked like he was injured, and the injury was serious.
\"Don't panic! Tell me, what happened to you?\"
\"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I was caught by the gangsters..." The woman cried out of breath, "My clothes were taken off! My face was also scratched!" "
Gu Yao frowned. This woman didn't look very old. She was twenty-eight years old. How could she encounter a gangster?
While Gu Yao was thinking, the woman raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.
When her eyes touched Gu Yao's cheek, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she was extremely surprised.
\"Sister Gu...your face?\" The woman was shocked.
Gu Yao raised her head and looked at the woman, "Is this the Jingzhao Yin Mansion?"
\"Yes, yes, the little one is called Zhao Liping!\"
"Why are you in Jingzhao Yin Mansion? Is your father from the government?" Gu Yao asked tentatively.
Zhao Liping shook her head, "My father is just an ordinary businessman! Sister Gu, please help me, please save me! I'm so pitiful! Wuwuwuwu...\"
Gu Yao was confused, "What is going on?"
Zhao Liping sniffed, "I don't know either! Just a few days ago, my sister and I went to the temple fair together. We both liked those beautiful jewelry, so we bought a lot of jewelry. As we walked, I was intercepted!\"
While Zhao Liping was speaking, her eyes were red and she couldn't help sobbing.
\"Intercepted you? What did you buy?\" Gu Yao asked.
\"Uh! I...I can't remember clearly. There were so many people at that time, I don't know what they bought!\"
Zhao Liping's eyes were red and swollen, looking pitiful.
Gu Yao sighed, "Forget it! You don't have to worry, I will find a way to avenge you!"
\"Really? Sister Gu, you are so kind to me. I am so grateful to you! I will pour you tea and prepare hot water for you to bathe and change clothes!\"
\"Um!\"
Gu Yao responded and watched Zhao Liping run out of the room.
Qing Ning asked from the side: "Miss, where is that Miss Zhao from?"
"I don't know!" Gu Yao said.
Qing Ning pouted, "Miss, I heard that girls in the capital, even beggars, are a hundred times cleaner than that woman!"
\"I know!\"
\"Then how come you don't know her?\"
\"She is too ugly! And her voice is too shrill! I don't want people to misunderstand that I have a special relationship with her!\"
Lime: \"......\"
...
At night, Gu Yao lay on the bed, tossing and turning.
During this period, she would go to the market every morning when she got up early.
She wanted to look for anything suspicious and find Gu Lin.
However, the capital city is so big, how easy is it for her to find Gu Lin?
Moreover, Gu Lin's current identity is the eldest son of Gu Guogong and he lives in Jing Zhaoyin's mansion. It is even more difficult to get close to him.
Gu Yao turned over, opened her eyes, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Not long ago, she secretly jumped out of the window, but she didn't expect that she was caught back and locked in the woodshed.
Although she escaped that time, it also aroused Gu Yao's vigilance. Now it is not easy to escape through the window.
Gu Yao thought about it all night, but couldn't come up with a proper solution, so she could only sleep.
The next morning.
Gu Yao had just finished washing when there was a knock on the door.
Gu Yao stood up and opened the door, only to see Zhao Liping standing at the door.
\"Miss Zhao, please come in!\" Gu Yao turned sideways and let Zhao Liping enter the room.
Zhao Liping walked into the house and stared at Gu Yao with her eyes.
\"Ms. Zhao, you are staring at me like this, but do you have something to say to me?\"
\"No, it's nothing!\" Zhao Liping quickly lowered her eyes, \"It's just that I didn't have a good rest last night, so I'm a little depressed!\"
Gu Yao nodded, "If Miss Zhao is fine, I will go to court!"
\"Wait!\" Zhao Liping hurriedly called to Gu Yao.
Gu Yao was slightly startled, turned around and looked at Zhao Liping.
Zhao Liping hesitated for a moment and then said: "Sister Gu, I heard that your appearance is ruined?"
\"Yeah! Yes!\" Gu Yao replied indifferently.
Zhao Liping pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and suddenly knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Sister Gu, I was wrong, I was wrong! I never dare to do it again! Please, help me!" \"
Zhao Liping begged and cried, but Gu Yao remained silent.
Zhao Liping continued to cry unwillingly, "My father is Jing Zhaoyin, and my mother is the wife of the Minister of Civil Affairs. If you don't help me, I will report this matter to my father and let him punish you for bullying a good citizen!" \"
\"My crime of bullying good people? Oh, why did I bully you? If you tell me, I can defend myself!\" Gu Yao snorted lightly, \"Also, what kind of official are you? Your father is a government official. Minister? I am the prime minister's granddaughter!\"
Gu Yao sneered. She wanted to see what Zhao Liping could do to threaten her.
Zhao Liping was stunned immediately.
The daughter of the official minister? That's a member of the royal family!
Zhao Liping was frightened and quickly changed her words, "Sister Gu, I'm sorry! Don't be the same as me. I don't dare to threaten you anymore!"
\"In that case, get up quickly! I can't bear this crime!\"
Gu Yao said and turned around.
Zhao Liping gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, but still looked at Gu Yao sadly.
\"Ms. Zhao, what do you want from me?\"
Zhao Liping looked around and said cautiously: "Sister Gu, actually I came here today to ask you something!"
Gu Yao frowned, "What's going on?"
\"Sister Gu, for the sake of my father, please save me!\"
\"Save you?\" Gu Yao raised her eyebrows, \"Miss Zhao, did you make a mistake? Why should I save you?\"
"My father said that he can give you money and promote you!" Zhao Liping looked at Gu Yao with hope. She knew that Sister Gu was a soft-hearted person.
Sure enough, as long as she moves out of her father, Sister Gu will definitely be tempted.
When Gu Yao heard this, she sneered in her heart. Gu Lin actually used such a despicable trick to threaten her? How despicable!
\"Miss Gu, don't be shy! My father can give you a lot of money and promote you!\" Zhao Liping said again.
\"Miss Zhao, you may be mistaken! I don't need your father's help for anything!\"
Gu Yao said coldly, "If I remember correctly, you are the daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs. Mr. Zhao is a dignified Minister of Civil Affairs and holds great power. How come he doesn't have the right to investigate me?"
\"No, no matter what, he is your father! Sister Gu, just help me this time! Please!\" Zhao Liping said, kneeling down again.
Gu Yao sneered in her heart, but did not show it on her face. Instead, her tone softened, "Miss Zhao, I also know that your family is a wealthy family in the capital, but I also have something to hide! If I really helped you, wouldn't I become accomplice?\"
\"Sister Gu, I really can't lose my father's blessing! Please help me! Please! \"
Gu Yao sneered in her heart, but her face was calm.
\"Ms. Zhao, I can indeed help you, but you must also agree to one condition!\"
Zhao Liping nodded repeatedly, "I promise! I promise you everything! I just ask you to save me!"
Gu Yao glanced at her and said, "The conditions I want are very simple. You go and tell your father that my engagement with your father is cancelled. From now on, he is not allowed to pester me! Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our old relationship!" "
"What? What did you say?" Zhao Liping's eyes widened in shock.
Gu Yao said coldly: "Miss Zhao, you said this yourself! If you don't agree, I can file a complaint against you. When the time comes, don't say that I haven't taken care of you!"
\"Gu, Miss Gu, my father can really help you! Just help me this time! I promise I will never harass you again!\"
Gu Yao snorted coldly, "I told you, your family's affairs have nothing to do with me. No matter how powerful Mr. Zhao is, he will never surpass the Minister of Civil Affairs!"
After Gu Yao finished speaking, she walked directly out of Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Liping looked at Gu Yao's leaving figure, gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, "You bitch!"
Her father was Zhao Wenyuan, the left prime minister at that time, and a well-known important minister in the court.
Her father not only held a large number of soldiers, but also controlled the three major yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Rites!
Her father's power was far greater than that of her father, but even so, Gu Yao still didn't want to talk to her!
snort! Gu Yao! I will definitely find an opportunity to make you regret your decision today!
Gu Yao walked into the mansion and saw Zhao Liping fidgeting in the hall, so she walked up and asked, "Miss Zhao, aren't you busy? Why don't you leave earlier?"
Zhao Liping raised her head, the resentment on her face disappeared, replaced by a smile as bright as a flower, "Sister Gu, you are here!"
\"What's wrong?\" Gu Yao raised her eyebrows, wondering why Zhao Liping suddenly became so enthusiastic again.
Zhao Liping gritted her teeth, "Sister Gu, I know that you have always been kind-hearted, so please promise me this time! As long as you are willing to help me, I will be happy to do whatever you want me to do!"
\"I didn't ask you to do anything, Miss Zhao, you think so highly of me! I just want you to interfere less with my life in the future!\"
\"Sister Gu!\" Zhao Liping gritted her teeth,\"Don't you want to marry into the Marquis' Mansion? My father is the prime minister, and my mother is the wife of the Minister of Civil Affairs! As long as you are willing to agree to me, you will send me to the Marquis' Mansion. Fufu, I can get you whatever you want! Including the man you like!\"
When Gu Yao heard this, she couldn't help but sneer, "Miss Zhao! I told you, although your father has a lot of troops, his power does not cover the sky with one hand!"
\"I don't believe it! My father is the prime minister! He is a high official in the court! Moreover, he is still an official in the court! I believe that as long as Sister Gu is willing to agree to me, my father will definitely be able to help you terminate your engagement with the Marquis! \"
\"I appreciate your kindness! However, Miss Zhao, Mr. Hou and I have already broken off our engagement!\"
