However, after a short while, there was a commotion outside An Pharmacy.

Gu Qingxue raised her head and looked outside the door. Suddenly, she saw a well-dressed old woman in gold and silver walking in with a group of maids and servants.

Gu Qingxue looked at this old woman and felt that she looked familiar.

She vaguely remembered that this old woman was Nanny Zhou, who was by the eldest Madam’s side, and she was also the Eldest Madam’s confidant.

!!
She had long guessed that after Nanny Zhuang died, the Kou family would definitely make a move. However, she did not expect Nanny Zhou to come personally. Moreover, she had made such a big fuss. It was clear that she had another purpose.

“This old servant pays his respects to the Eldest Miss. Eldest Miss, the Eldest Madam has something to ask this old servant to tell the Eldest Miss. I wonder if we can find a quiet place to discuss it in detail?” Nanny Zhou asked with a smile.

“That’s all for today’s consultation. Shopkeeper Huang, please prepare a quiet room for me,” Gu Qingxue said.

Huang Rongfa nodded in agreement and cleared out the back hall for Gu Qingxue.

Gu Qingxue led Nanny Zhou and the others to the back hall.

When she sat down just now, Nanny Zhou immediately led her maids and servants to bow to her. “This old servant greets the Eldest Miss. Please comply with the Old Madam’s wishes and return to Jing City with this old servant.”

“What happened to my grandmother?” When the Old Madam of the Gu family was mentioned, Gu Qingxue’s heart could not help but move. She remembered that the only person in the Gu family who treated her well was the Old Madam, Madam Kang.

However, Madam Kang had become muddle-headed in her early years. Even if she wanted to protect the original owner of this body, she could not do so even if she wanted to.

At this moment, perhaps due to the influence of the previous owner of this body, Gu Qingxue could not help but worry when she thought of that old lady.

“Don’t worry, Eldest Miss. The Old Madam is in good health, and everything is fine. It’s just that the Old Madam’s 70th birthday is coming up, and the Old Madam has been thinking about Eldest Miss, so the Second Miss begged the mistress to send me to invite Eldest Miss back to the capital. The family will be reunited and enjoy the happiness of a family.” Nanny Zhou continued with a bright smile, “Eldest Miss, the Second miss, and the Old Madam are the same. They are always looking forward and hoping for Eldest Miss to return.”

When Gu Qingxue heard this, she almost laughed out loud.

Her grandmother was looking forward to her return, but the mother and daughter must be looking forward to her death in Dafu Village.

To her, the Gu family in Jing City was as dangerous as a mountain of knives and a sea of fire.

However, since the other party had come to her doorstep, why should she retreat?

“I’m also worried about my grandmother’s health. Wait for me in the town for a day. I’ll leave tomorrow and go back with you,” Gu Qingxue said indifferently.

Nanny Zhou, who had prepared a lot of excuses to persuade Gu Qingxue, could not help but look up at Gu Qingxue when she saw Gu Qingxue agree so frankly.

After not seeing her for a few years, this Eldest Miss was still beautiful, and there was even a hint of coldness and arrogance in her eyes. Did she not know what kind of torture she would go through when she returned?

Nanny Zhou looked at Gu Qingxue and could not figure out what Gu Qingxue was planning. However, Nanny Zhou could vaguely sense that once this Eldest Miss returned, the Gu family would no longer have peace.

Gu Qingxue had no interest in continuing to argue with Nanny Zhou. After making an appointment to meet at An Pharmacy at noon the next day, she got up and left the back hall to explain the situation to Huang Rongfa.

Huang Rongfa had a worried look on his face. “The waters of Jing City are deep. Why does Lady Gu have to go back and risk her life?”

Gu Qingxue smiled. “I always wanted to go back to the place where I was born and raised. Since I can’t hide from it, I should go back and take a look. Don’t worry, Shopkeeper Huang. After I go and accompany my grandmother, I’ll come back.”
