Jiang Miao looked at Gu Pandi and suddenly said, "Miss Pan and the eldest lady from the Duke's Mansion actually look a bit alike."

This sentence was what Gu Zhao told her to say.

When Gao and Gu Pandi heard this, they both showed surprised expressions.

"Really?" Gu Pandi opened her eyes wide and asked, holding her voice, "Sister Jiang Miao, have you ever met the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion?"

Jiang Miao nodded, "Of course I have seen it. Many people in Shangjing City have seen it. The eldest lady likes to go out. She also has her own shop and sometimes goes to look at the account books."

"Every year on March 3rd, the gentlemen and young ladies would go out for an outing outside the city, and Miss Lin was always the center one. Many scholars in the capital, who usually had no chance to see Miss Lin, would watch outside the city.

.”

Mrs. Gao swallowed. Could this Miss Lin be her biological daughter?

If she is really so beautiful, maybe they can go to her for help? If nothing else, Gu Zhao might want to give Miss Lin face and not dare to threaten them again.

They can also ask Miss Lin to give them the money and settle down in Shangjing, so that the couple can live a good life.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gao's eyes became more and more eager, and she grabbed Jiang Miao's sleeve tightly, "That Miss Lin really looks like my second girl?"

Jiang Miao hesitated for a moment, "The mouth looks a bit similar. When Miss Pan smiles, she looks very much like Miss Lin."

Gu Pandi rushed to the bronze mirror, tilted her head, imagining Miss Lin's air of being popular in Beijing, and formed an artificial smile.

Mrs. Gao, however, held on to Jiang Miao tightly, "How is Miss Lin doing now?"

Jiang Miao felt that Gao's reaction was a bit unusual, but Mr. Gu had already expected it in advance, "Miss Lin is not in Beijing during this time. I heard that it is because the Duke's wife is not in good health. Miss Lin went to a temple to pray for her mother.

Clean and repair in the temple."

Mrs. Gao was very disappointed, "She's not going to Beijing?"

Jiang Miao nodded, "Yes, I haven't seen Miss Lin for several months. I heard that the Duke's wife also hasn't appeared for a long time. I'm afraid she is seriously ill."

Gu Pandi fiddled with the mirror for a long time, and the more she looked at herself, the more beautiful she became.

That Miss Lin was able to charm so many young men and scholars. She couldn't compare to Miss Lin's background. It would be no problem to marry an official, right?

"Actually, we used to say that Miss Lin would become the Crown Princess." Jiang Miao's words attracted the two absent-minded women.

Gu Pandi suddenly turned around, "Before? Then how did it change?"

Gao also wanted to know this question.

The more she thought about it now, the more she felt that Miss Lin, whom Jiang Miao was talking about, should be her biological daughter. It would be better for her biological daughter to be the crown princess than for a dead girl like Gu Zhao to be the crown princess.

Jiang Miao frowned, "This is not something that a servant like me can know."

Mrs. Gao and Gu Pandi looked at Jiang Miao eagerly as if they were being scratched by cat's claws.

Jiang Miao thought for a long time before hesitatingly said, "I, I only heard that before the Chinese New Year, when it snowed in winter, His Royal Highness held a plum blossom appreciation banquet, and Miss Lin took Mr. Gu to the Prince's house in Yu Chongshan.

Biezhuang. I don’t know what happened next.”

Seeing that she really couldn't say anything, Gu Pandi curled her lips impatiently, "Okay, Sister Jiang Miao, go and ask around when you have time."

Mrs. Gao nodded quickly, "Yes, Jiang Miao, go and inquire and find out what happened to Miss Lin."

After sending Jiang Miao away, Gu Pandi returned to her room.

She couldn't help but look in the mirror and thought to herself, is there any need to ask? Gu Zhao must have seduced the prince that day and made the prince fall in love with her, so he abandoned her.

Miss Lin!

Miss Lin couldn't keep her face off and had no face to show up in Beijing, so she found an excuse to hide in the temple.

Any prayers for mother are just excuses!

She took out a box of jasmine powder from the makeup box and applied it carefully on her face to see if her skin would really look beautiful after her skin became whiter.

Can you be like Gu Zhao and attract the prince's attention...

At the same time, the cabinet scholar Chu Fu.

Chu Xianyu was also looking in the mirror, and the maid who was close to her was carefully covering her dark circles with powder puffs.

"Miss, you can't do this. Otherwise, why don't you ask the kitchen to cook you a bowl of soothing soup tonight?" The eldest maid Fengnian knew why her young lady couldn't sleep at night, and her tone was full of worry.

Chu Xianyu looked at the haggard face in the mirror with sad eyes and replied casually, "Okay. But I have to hurry up now. Don't let grandma wait for me."

The Chu family is not a big family, but it is only because of Mr. Chu Ge that it is prosperous today.

Therefore, although the yard is large and the vegetation is lush and green, it is not full of historical heritage like those of those aristocratic families.

Chu Xianyu led the maid through the backyard, and came face to face with two girls about the same age as her.

"Third sister, where are you going?" the round-faced girl raised her head and asked.

Before Chu Xianyu could answer, another girl with an oval face spoke first, "Where else can we go? This way must be to my grandmother's house."

The round-faced girl looked surprised, "Didn't my grandma tell me not to run to her place at other times except to say hello in the morning? She is short-tempered and has no energy to listen to our quarrel?"

The oval-faced girl snorted, "That's us, the third sister is different. She is the future Duke Li's wife, the most noble and noble family wife in Bei'an. Who can only marry those like us?"

How can a concubine from a poor Jinshi family compare?"

The smile on Chu Xianyu's face was faint. She was neither angry nor anxious to distinguish. She just nodded to the two concubines and said, "You two are having fun, so I'll go over first."

A good-tempered person like Fengnian couldn't help but get angry. When no one was around, he couldn't help complaining, "They all thought that the young lady had gained so much benefit, and they didn't even think about the young lady's difficulties."

Chu Xianyu twitched the corners of her lips slightly, "Everyone has difficulties, and everyone has benefits." She lowered her voice and said in a voice that only she could hear, "I'm just sticking to my own benefits.
