Chapter 552: Chapter 562 Uncomfortable Together

But her situation at the Jie Residence wasn’t simply a matter of being out of favor; he never touched her, so how could she have a daughter? These years, her life in the Jie Residence had been far from satisfactory, nearly letting herself go to waste.

Gu Youyou, watching Miss Du’s changing expressions, was about to speak again when she was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Cousin, are you ready? We need to leave."

"Yes, it’s ready."

They had been wandering the garden for quite some time, and it was best not to alarm others, especially today.

Gu Youyou packed up her things and bid farewell to Miss Du, "I shall take my leave, Miss Du. Take good care of yourself. Life is meant to be lived for oneself, and nothing is more important than one’s own life. If others don’t allow you comfort, being meek all the time will only make you more uncomfortable. It’s better to find a way to make them uncomfortable as well."

Gu Youyou shivered and suddenly felt a bit dizzy.

Was she here to persuade Miss Du to leave that man and woman as soon as possible or to stay and fight them?

Gu Youyou’s original intention was for one of the three to step back, then perhaps the Jie Family’s inner courtyard would be at peace. Of the three, the other two were warmly entangled, clearly indicating Miss Du was the one who should step back. But what did her last comment mean? Did she want the Jie Family to be even more chaotic?

Alas! Perhaps she was indignant after hearing the story, putting herself in their shoes, she thought if such a thing happened to her, Gu Youyou certainly wouldn’t withdraw so easily.

If one is uncomfortable, let no one feel comfortable.

Before leaving, one must put an end to those who made her uncomfortable.

...

The door opened, letting sunlight into the cold, dark room.

"Cousin, are you ready?" Lin Qianqing hurriedly asked.

"Yes, I am," Gu Youyou replied.

She handed Cuiya, Miss Du’s maid, a prescription, "When you can leave this courtyard tomorrow, take this prescription to Jisheng Hall to get medicine for your mistress. If you run into trouble, seek out the third-young-miss."

A sister shouldn’t meddle in her brother’s household affairs, but an occasional interference might not hurt.

Cuiya immediately knelt down with a thud, crying, "Thank you, Doctor Gu, if it hadn’t been for meeting you by chance, my mistress...my mistress..."

"It’s alright, get up now," Gu Youyou said. "I must trouble Miss Cuiya to help us find something to climb over the wall."

Cuiya was slightly startled as she remembered the gate had been locked.

The maid’s face was full of sorrow as she couldn’t stop wiping her tears.

"Then please wait here for Cuiya for a moment, Doctor Gu and Miss Lin," she said.

After Cuiya had left, Lin Qianqing said indignantly, "That Concubine Du is too bullying, and Second Brother Jie is really foolish. How could he treat his legitimate wife like this?"

Gu Youyou simply replied, "Second Young Master Jie never regarded Miss Du as his legitimate wife, little sister, you’re thinking too much."

She didn’t understand and, tilting her head, pondered and said puzzled, "How is that not the case? I even accompanied my mother here when they got married. It was a proper wedding with ceremonial bows to heaven and earth."

Gu Youyou held her forehead, how was she to explain to this fourteen-year-old maid that marriage was not as simple as just bowing to heaven and earth?

Cuiya brought over a ladder, which looked somewhat old. Lin Qianqing kicked it a few times and shook it, saying, "It’ll do, quite sturdy."

Seeing her professional actions, she must be well-practiced in using it.

They moved the ladder to a lower part of the wall, Lin Qianqing walked over to it first, then turned back to Gu Youyou and said, "Cousin, I’ll go up first and then pull you up."

"Okay, go ahead."

She climbed up so calmly and deftly, she likely had done this sort of thing quite often.
