"This girl is so embarrassed." Gu Wanrong said with a smile, "Let's eat quickly, I'm still waiting to read the storybook."

"Okay, just think about your script." Ye Sijin said.

After eating, Gu Wanrong took a book and went back quietly. She didn't dare to take more, lest she be discovered by the maid. If she told her mother then, she would be in trouble.

Ye Sijin was holding a pot of tea in her hand. Now that it was quiet outside, she was waiting for Ling Chu's arrival.

As soon as the window opened and closed, Ye Sijin knew that Ling Chu was coming.

"How's it going? Did you find anything today?" Ye Sijin asked.

Ling Chu nodded, "Yes."

He told Ye Sijin everything about today's jade case and the treasure box note.

"Then it will be the same as what we had before." Ye Sijin said, "That is to say, great-grandpa and great-grandma relied on this letter to pass back and forth, and then they had a relationship, and then great-grandpa gave great-grandma to

I took it back, and I remember when I opened the treasure box, there was a note inside, signed by Gu Wanrong."

"I can only guess this now," Ling Chu said, "But when I went back to look after Miss Gu, I didn't open the treasure box, nor did I find the note inside."

Ye Sijin smiled sheepishly, "She was probably just reading the storybook. She was so fascinated by the storybook here that she didn't care about the treasure box."

"Don't worry, this will happen sooner or later," Ling Chu said.

"We won't have to wait here forever." Ye Sijin said, "I don't know when we can go back. Do we really have to wait for a year?"

"That shouldn't happen." Ling Chu said, "There is no other way now."

"Yes." Now the two of them can only stay at Gu's house in Ji Nancheng. When they leave Ji Nancheng, it's a fog, and they can't escape.

The next morning, Ye Sijin saw that Gu Wanrong was in low spirits and knew that she must have read the storybook all night.

"You're working too hard. You can't even see it during the day." Ye Sijin said.

Gu Wanrong said, "If I don't finish reading it, I won't be able to sleep. I've hidden this story book, and I will return it to you when I find it. But you, with so many story books, are not afraid of being discovered."

"Don't worry, I have experience." Ye Sijin said.

Gu Wanrong was a little sleepy and hadn't even eaten a few bites of breakfast. She just had to see her mother today and couldn't go back to rest.

"I've met my mother." Gu Wanrong saluted Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu asked her to sit down.

"Miss Qingye has also lived in our house for some time," Mrs. Gu said.

Gu Wanrong said, "It has been almost ten days, why did mother suddenly talk about Qingye? Could it be that there is news from the capital."

"It is precisely because of this matter that the person who went to the capital to deliver the letter has not come back yet, and there is not even any news." Mrs. Gu said.

"Did something happen on the road?" Gu Wanrong asked.

Mrs. Gu said, "I don't know, but Miss Qingye doesn't seem to be in a hurry."

"What's the use of worrying about a girl like her? Besides, it's better for her to live in the house than to rush around on the road." Gu Wanrong said. "As the saying goes, it's the most difficult thing to save people, and the most important thing is to help them."

"I don't mean anything else, but I just asked. Seeing that she gets along well with you, I feel relieved." Mrs. Gu said.

Gu Wanrong said, "My mother asked me to come, and it must be more than just Qingye's business."

"The Xie family sent someone to tell them that the old lady of the Xie family wants to meet you, their future granddaughter-in-law." Mrs. Gu said.

"Meet me?" Gu Wanrong said, "The engagement has been finalized. It's okay to meet again after we get married. Why do you want to see me now?"

Mrs. Gu said, "I think so too, but Madam Xie sent someone to talk about this matter, so it's hard to refuse."

"We and the Xie family are both merchant families. The Xie family is just using the title of imperial merchant. Our Gu family is also powerful in Ji Nanchang. Why do their families do what they say and have to be lower than them?"

"If you are affiliated with the royal family, you are already superior to others. What's more, there is a queen in their palace, so naturally you can't afford to offend her." Mrs. Gu said, "Our family has only reached the county magistrate, how can we compare?

When you go to Xie's house, you can't be willful."

Gu Wanrong said, "I know everything my mother said."

"That's right." Mrs. Gu smiled and nodded, "I will take you to meet the old lady of the Xie family in two days."

"My mother has said so, and my daughter should obey it," Gu Wanrong said.

When it came to the Xie family's affairs, Gu Wanrong was not very interested, and her good mood suddenly turned into depression.

She went back to the house, sent Yunzhi away, and sat alone in the house. Feeling a little bored in her chest, she opened the window and sat in front of the dressing table.

I opened the treasure box as usual, intending to burn the previous note and write down a new one about my worries.

I took out the note and was about to burn it, when I suddenly realized that the font was not right, so I quickly took a look at it.

This sight frightened Gu Wanrong and dropped the note to the ground.

Who wrote this? Gu Wanrong looked around, a little shocked. No one knew the secret compartment of this treasure box. She had written all the troubles she had over the years in it. Why did someone suddenly change her note?

She picked up the note again. The font on the opposite side was very strange, square and square, and every stroke was very regular.

"Cell phone text message?" Gu Wanrong became more and more confused as she read. What is this? "Cage..."

The restraints and cages pierced Gu Wanrong's thoughts, which made her a little embarrassed and panicked. She wanted to burn the note, but the origin was unknown, and there would be no evidence if she burned it.

But if you don't burn it, if you keep it and let others know about it, that would be even worse.

Gu Wanrong put the note under the book, walked to the door, and called Yunzhi.

Yunzhi came from the corridor over there, "Miss, what's wrong?"

"Has anyone entered my house today?" Gu Wanrong asked.

Yunzhi called Yunyan, she was guarding here today, "Did you see someone coming in the lady's room?"

"No." Yun Yan shook his head, "I've been sitting there the whole time and I've never seen anyone come in or out."

Yun Yan was pointing to the corridor opposite, and he could see Gu Wanrong's house at a glance.

"Miss, what's going on? Did you lose something?" Yunzhi asked.

"That...no, I just saw someone rummaging through my things." Gu Wanrong said, "Yunyan, have you really never seen anyone come in?"

"Really not. Even when I left, the ladies were still guarding me. Only the maid who cleaned the house in the morning came in, but the lady was also in the house at that time," Yun Yan said.

"Forget it." Gu Wanrong couldn't ask anything, so she had to give up.

Yunzhi said, "How about asking the mothers-in-law?"

"No need." Gu Wanrong closed the door again.
