Chapter 235: Smashed 140! (One more update)
The Old Madam Gu usually had the peonies brought to her to admire, and only when the weather was too cold would she pay a visit to the flower room herself.
The flower room was somewhat distant from Songhe Court, but the elderly lady was carried in a sedan chair, well-protected against wind and rain, and found it quite comfortable.
In no time, the sedan chair arrived outside the flower room.
The trusted chambermaid lifted the curtain and helped Old Madam Gu out of the sedan chair.
Old Madam Gu noticed the entrance door was wide open and her gray eyebrows knitted together: “Who’s in charge of the flower room today? Aren’t they afraid of freezing the flowers to death by leaving the door so wide open?”
The trusted chambermaid quickly sent a servant to check it out.
The servant went inside for a look and came back to report: “The gardener is nowhere to be seen.”
This made Old Madam Gu even angrier. The absence of the gardener indicated negligence, and it was unclear for how long the door had remained ajar!
While Old Madam Gu sent someone to find the gardener, she stepped into the flower room with the help of her chambermaid.
Gu Jiao had been squatting on the ground observing the flowers and was hidden behind a pot plant. She stood up after finishing her observations.
Upon seeing another person there, Old Madam Gu and her chambermaid were shocked, and their hearts skipped a beat!
“Who’s there?” Old Madam Gu asked fiercely.
Gu Jiao turned her head slowly.
Gu Jiao’s dress and makeup didn’t resemble a noble lady, nor a servant from the Marquis Residence. She appeared to be about the same age as Gu Jinyu.
If you only looked at her right face, she would be an extraordinarily beautiful girl, but a large wine-red birthmark on her left face, Old Madam Gu had never seen such a scarred person!
Old Madam Gu’s brows twitched: “Where did this wild girl come from? How dare she enter the Marquis Residence’s flower room?”
The chambermaid and maidservants were also surprised. That’s right, where did this wild girl come from? The Marquis Residence isn’t a vegetable garden where anyone can just come in.
Could she be the relative or the child of some servant?
Even so, she shouldn’t have burst into the old lady’s flower room.
Gu Jiao looked Old Madam Gu up and down and made a guess about her identity.
Gu Jiao glanced at the white flower in her hand, looked at Old Madam Gu, who looked like a ruffled chicken, and made a thoughtful sound.
Old Madam Gu was even more perplexed.
What on earth is this girl’s reaction?
Old Madam Gu thought she was coming to assassinate her and shouted in panic: “Help! Stop her!” fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
