Qin Fengyang’s original intention was to leave herself a way out; once Qin Chuyu’s life and death were tied to hers, she wouldn’t believe they would be cruel enough to kill her.
This was a foolproof plan, but unfortunately... she encountered Gu Jiao, who didn’t play by the rules.
If she were truly remorseful and pleaded earnestly, Gu Jiao might have considered letting her live for a few more days, yet she actually dared to threaten Gu Jiao with a child’s life.
...
After coming out of the secret room, Gu Jiao was covered in blood, none of which was her own.
Having been a eunuch for many years and having privately punished countless palace maids, the eunuch Wei had never seen anyone treated quite like that.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
Eunuch Wei was practically stuttering.
Before he could finish, Gu Jiao took off her isolation gown and gloves, and left without a trace of emotion on her face.
After leaving the imperial palace, Gu Jiao returned to Bishui Alley for a while.
She had planned to change her clothes before going out again, but just as she entered the courtyard, she found that Nanxiang Shiniang and Master Lu were also present.
The three young boys of the household had gone off to school, leaving the Yao Family sitting in the main room chatting with the two visitors.
"Has Jiaojiao returned?" Yao Family spotted Gu Jiao entering the house.
Gu Jiao greeted the three of them.
"What’s wrong with Jiaojiao? Are you in a hurry to leave?" Yao Family noticed Gu Jiao’s hurried pace.
Gu Jiao said, "There’s something I need to take care of outside."
"Madam, Xiaobao is hungry!" Yu Yaya came over carrying Gu Xiaobao.
Yao Family excused herself to Nanxiang Shiniang and Master Lu, "Please excuse me for a moment."
Nanxiang smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."
Yao Family took Gu Xiaobao back to the room to breastfeed.
Master Lu continued to sit in the main room drinking tea, while Nanxiang Shiniang hesitated for a moment before knocking on Gu Jiao’s room door.
"Jiaojiao, it’s me," she said.
"What?" Gu Jiao looked at her. freёwebnovel.com
