Aunt Nan smoothed the folds of her cuffs and raised her eyes to look at the girl who was looking at her. A light smile appeared on Mingyan's moving face.

Gu Jinzhao only felt that this smile was like a blooming mountain flower, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it. Even as a woman, she was in a trance, no wonder she was favored by her father for so many years.

"The concubine wants to cooperate with the eldest girl."

Cooperate?

Gu Jinzhao came back to his senses and looked at Aunt Nan who had already restrained her smile with some puzzlement.

"What does Aunt Nan want to cooperate with me?"

Could it be that the opening of the restaurant was known to Aunt Nan?

The idea flashed through her head, but she quickly dismissed it. Except for her and Si Hua, even Yuqi and the others didn't know about it.

"Big girl, do you want to know the truth about your own mother's death?"

Gu Jinzhao's expression became serious, and his eyes were fixed on Aunt Nan with a calm face.

"Aunt Nan, what do you want to say?"

Aunt Nan put her hand on her lap and straightened her wide sleeves, and then spoke slowly.

"Mrs. Xian did not die of illness, but was poisoned. And the person who poisoned Madame is the current Madame. ”

Gu Jinzhao's hand on his lap tightened, suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart and making himself look calm.

"My mother has always treated me very well, if Aunt Nan can't come up with evidence, how can Jin Zhao believe it."

Aunt Nan glanced at Gu Jinzhao's clenched hand on her lap, and a smile crossed her eyes.

"The eldest girl's attitude towards her wife and second girl has changed in the past few days, and she thinks she has discovered something. Otherwise, the concubine would not dare to come to Huo Ran to seek cooperation, and as for the evidence, the eldest girl will be able to see it in a few days. ”

Gu Jinzhao pursed her lips and was silent, this Aunt Nan was either very sensitive, or she was the one who had her with her stepmother.

Of the two possibilities, she prefers the latter.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Aunt Nan's so-called evidence."

She lowered her eyes, blocking out the emotions that were surging under her eyes. Today's news has brought her too much shock.

I don't have much memory of my biological mother, she was raised by her stepmother when she was very young. But if she was really killed by her stepmother, this revenge must be avenged.

Gathering his thoughts, Gu Jinzhao raised his eyes and asked Aunt Nan.

"Aunt Nan wants to cooperate with me, what is she asking for?"

Aunt Nan didn't hide it, and her red lips spit out two cold words: "Revenge!" ”

Gu Jinzhao's body trembled, and she felt a chilling killing intent in just two words.

She didn't want to get involved in the grievances between Aunt Nan and her stepmother, but as the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

"I'm just an unfavored concubine, how can I help Aunt Nan."

Aunt Nan looked at the girl who was fiddling with her fingers with her head down, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

"You can."

Seeing that Aunt Nan stopped talking after she finished speaking, Gu Jinzhao opened her mouth, and finally didn't ask anything more, sooner or later she would know the reason.

Neither of them spoke again, and silence fell in the carriage.

After a cup of tea, the carriage left the South City Gate and drove all the way towards Nanshan Temple.

Not long after Gu Jinzhao left the city gate, Lin Qingyue asked someone to send a post to invite Gu Yuning to the house to play.

"Mother, this Lin Qingyue's post, can my daughter respond to it?"

Gu Yuning is not familiar with Lin Qingyue, she doesn't look down on this person from the bottom of her heart, but she is just the daughter of a small official's family. If it weren't for the support of the prince, it would be impossible to gain a foothold in the circle of nobles in Beijing.

"Naturally, you have to make friends with Lin Qingyue."

Gu Yuning looked at her mother with some puzzlement, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Mother wants me to please her?"
