The prosperity of the imperial capital can only be understood by seeing it with your own eyes.

Gu Yunyao was walking forward while looking at the scenery, when she suddenly heard someone calling her.

"Gu Yunyao!"

The sound was sharp and angry. Gu Yunyao turned around in confusion and saw a young woman getting out of a carriage.

Wearing a light yellow dress, she doesn't look like a lady from an aristocratic family. She has an average appearance and has the aura of a maid.

Gu Yunyao searched for this face in her memory, feeling disgust and resistance in her heart.

The woman asked: "Let me ask you, why are you here? Now everyone in the house is looking for you. Didn't you run away with someone? Are you embarrassed to show off?"

Her voice was sharp and crisp, like a barrage of words: "Oh, I forgot, you can't speak.

It's no use asking. Let's go back home! The second lady wants to ask you some questions."

He turned around and took two steps, then looked back at Gu Yunyao and said contemptuously: "What? If you run away, you will not only be mute, but also deaf? You..."

She came up and wanted to twist Gu Yunyao's arm.

Gu Yunyao clasped her wrist with her backhand: "Tiaoyun, who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?"

Tiaoyun was startled, and tried to free himself by shaking his hands: "Didn't I always say this? It's not just one or two days.

I am the eldest lady's personal maid, a first-class maid. When I speak, the eldest lady speaks, how dare you not listen?"

"Really? I didn't know that Gu Qingwen was compared to you as a maid, but you actually represented her.

I don’t care if you want to represent her, but it won’t work if you are so disrespectful to me.”

Gu Yunyao used strength in her hands and her eyes were as cold as a knife: "Also, you, a maid, actually use the word "yun". According to my opinion, you don't need to be called "tiaoyun", you should be called "troublemaker"!

Tiaoyun looked at her in disbelief: "You are crazy...stop stuttering!"

"You talk too much," Gu Yunyao held her wrist and held it behind her, "Let's go."

Tiao Yun screamed in pain: "Let me go, you're hurting me, Gu Yunyao, you..."

"boom!"

Gu Yunyao grabbed the back of her head and hit her against the wall of the car.

Tiaoyun was so dizzy from the impact that a big bump immediately formed on his forehead.

"Is this called pain? Have you forgotten when you pricked me with a needle? When you whipped me with a wicker? When you deliberately locked me in a small dark room?

Hey, what is this? I have made a note of it, and I will get it back with interest this time."

"Get up!" Gu Yunyao pushed Tiaoyun onto the carriage, then jumped on, knocked on the wall of the carriage, "Go home!"

The driver swallowed his saliva and drove quickly.

In broad daylight, it was really a ghost.

The second lady was not only able to speak, but she also beat Tiaoyun!

Tiao Yun stroked his painful shoulder, gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Don't think I'm afraid of you, even if you can speak, so what?

You eloped with someone and ruined your reputation. The old lady wants to send you to a nunnery to be a sister-in-law. It will be no good for you if you go back."

"Pah!" Gu Yunyao slapped her back, "Shut up! If you say one more word, one of your teeth will be knocked out!"

Tiaoyun covered his face with one hand and rushed towards her with a scream.

Gu Yunyao moved quickly, pulled out the hairpin from her head, and put the tip against her throat.

"Try moving."

Tiaoyun bit his lip, still dissatisfied: "I don't believe you dare to hurt me, I am the eldest lady..."

"Gu Qingwen is just a dog slave. Without you, there will be others. Is there anything irreplaceable about you?

Don't think of yourself as so important.

Don't tell me that I really killed you, I only scratched your face and blinded one of your eyes, do you still need you to take care of Gu Qingwen?"

Tiaoyun looked at the pointed hairpin, which was touching her skin, and a chill hit her head.

"You...don't..."

"What? You stutter too?" Gu Yunyao sneered, "Shut up if you can't speak!"

Tiaoyun immediately shut up and shrank his head like a quail.

Gu Yunyao closed her eyes and rested her mind, going over what happened this time.

She herself has been timid and weak-tempered since she was a child. She was often suppressed and bullied. She always lowered her head and seldom spoke. Over time, she started to stutter when speaking, and was even ridiculed. Later she got a serious illness and basically became...

Dumb.

Her father had a good relationship with Duke Rong Guo before, and he had been engaged to his son since he was a child.

Seeing that when she reached the age of sixteen, the status of the Rongguo Duke's Palace was not in decline, but the General's Palace was not as good as before because of her father's disappearance.

A few days ago, the Crown Princess of the East Palace was happy. The Emperor was pleased and issued a special decree. One of the decrees was that if the deceased ministers with meritorious service had children over the age of fifteen in their families, they could all receive rewards.

The original owner was one of them, because her father had made many military exploits in the past, so unlike others who were rewarded with items, she was named the county head.

It was obviously a favor, but it became a reminder. The people in the second room wanted to snatch the reward away. Anyway, the favor mentioned was the daughter of the Gu family, and it did not say that it must be Gu Yunyao.

Gu Qingwen came up with the idea and Gu Qingxue implemented it. They found Yu Qingbai, a poor scholar, and lured the original owner to "elope" outside the city and push him off a cliff.

Gu Yunyao opened her eyes and sighed silently: What a bad debt.

The carriage stopped, Gu Yunyao got out of the carriage, and Tiaoyun took the opportunity to run inside.

Gu Yunyao grabbed her neck: "Where to go?"

Just after passing through the Moon Gate, several women came out.

The leader is in his thirties, with white and tender skin, black hair like clouds, and the carefully combed bun is decorated with gorgeous jewelry and sparkling light.

With tears in her eyes, she said tremblingly as she walked: "What should we do? Yunyao has always been timid, how could she do such a bold thing as elopement?"

When Tiaoyun saw the person coming from the opposite side, he felt like he had seen a savior: "Second Madam, save this slave!"

When the second lady heard this, she raised her eyes and saw Gu Yunyao, surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Yun Yao? Thank God you're back. I'm really worried..."

Gu Yunyao walked in carrying Tiaoyun: "Are you worried? I thought you were going to go out and tell others that I eloped with someone."

The second lady was surprised: "You..."

"Yes, I can speak. I walked around the Palace of the King of Hell. The Lord of Hell said that my life should not be cut off. Not only did he let me back, but he also healed my throat. He said that he wanted me to take revenge.

Repay injustice with injustice."

The second lady held the handkerchief tightly with her fingers and stared at Gu Yunyao.

She used to be a timid and cowardly persimmon, but now her waist is as straight and as tall as a bamboo. Her face, which is rarely shown in normal times, now has her chin raised slightly. Although she is a little dirty, her stunning appearance cannot be concealed.

Especially those eyes, which are clear in black and white. When the eyes are moving, they are dazzling. When they are staring, they are as quiet as an abyss. They seem to have cool waves, rolling in layers of calmness, which is so indifferent that it is shocking.

The second lady's heart tightened suddenly, and she managed to squeeze out a smile: "Yun Yao, it will be good when you are back. Hurry, go and freshen up. We will talk about other things later.

Don't worry, if there are any rumors, my aunt will be here and will definitely defend you."
