Zhang Qi stood up, pushed open the door and smiled shyly: "Jin sister, youre here?" Seeing Zhang Jins impatient expression, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Its so late to go out, Madam will not be happy if she knows."

  Zhang Qi heard her own mother, Zhang Jin, also panicked. But in the blink of an eye, she raised her head and said: "What are you afraid of? Its just meeting someone at the door, my mother wont say anything."

  It turned out that they were meeting at the door. Zhang Qi nodded towards Zhang Jinfu and said crisply, "Qi will listen to Sister Jin."

  This was said in a loud voice for the benefit of someone else present, so that it would not be reported to Zhang Xiaos wife as his own fault.

  Zhang Jin didnt notice that in just a short while, Zhang Qis thoughts had changed many times. She frowned and shouted: "What are you still standing there for? Lets go!"

  Zhang Qi responded with a sound, stepped forward and followed Zhang Jin. A maidservant hurriedly walked over.

  She came before Zhang Jin, glanced at Zhang Qi and bowed slightly to Zhang Jin, "Jin auntie, the mistress is calling you."

  "Mother is calling me?" Zhang Jins face changed, she hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "I, Ill go now."

  At this time, the maid looked at Zhang Qi and said, "Madam orders that you also go together with Gu Niang!"

  Let her go too?

  Zhang Qi raised her head and looked at the maid. Seeing her look, the maids eyes flashed with contempt and schadenfreude, and she also raised her head.

  Zhang Qixin felt a sudden jolt in her heart and instinctively sensed unease.

  At this time, Zhang Jin had already taken a few steps forward. The maid saw that Zhang Gui was not moving and shouted: "Run!"

  Zhang Qi responded with a "yes" and followed Zhang Jin with her head lowered.

  As usual, she was still lowering her head and being quiet and well-behaved, but now seeing her like this, several maids whispered, "Shes really good at pretending." "This person is really cunning."

  Zhang Qi heard it in her ear and hurriedly lifted her head and walked away.

  The laughter became even louder!

  Just then, Zhang Qi suddenly fell to one side and let out a loud cry of pain. He clutched at his left foot and slowly squatted down on the ground.

  Several women turned their heads to look back, and Zhang Jin shouted: "Whats going on?"

  Zhang Qis face twisted in pain, and her eyes were brimming with tears. She said hoarsely, "Ive sprained it." Gritting her teeth, she forced herself to stand up, but as soon as she did, she involuntarily let out a pained hum, and her face turned even paler.

  Zhang Qi hung her head low and struggled to lift her feet, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldnt move.

  Like this, where can I still go?

  The maid who was summoned saw the situation, frowned and shouted: "You go and call Qies maid to come and support her back." She quickly followed Zhang Jin.

  Zhang Jin also withdrew his gaze at this time and left with several maidservants.

  When they had gone far, Ah Green also rushed over. She saw Zhang Qis pale face and exclaimed, rushing to support her and asking urgently: "Miss, whats wrong with you?"

  Zhang Qi said: "Ive had enough." He shifted his body weight onto Ah Lu, and Zhang Qi groaned in pain again.

  The master and servant supported each other in this way, step by step, moving towards the house.

  As soon as Zhang Jin entered the hospital, the servant girl who had been summoned quickly walked a few steps and came to Zhang Xiaos room, speaking in a low voice.

  Listening, Zhang Xiao hummed and said: "Shes quite lucky!" She had heard that her daughter was going to meet the appointment at Xiao Fu, and she was very annoyed. When she sent someone to intercept her daughter and Zhang Gui, she thought of calling them over and scolding Zhang Gui severely, also taking the opportunity to teach her daughter a lesson.

  But unexpectedly, Zhang Qi sprained her foot at this critical moment. That hoof really got off cheap!

  At this time, Ah Xiangs voice came from outside, "Madam, Jin Guzi has arrived."

  As soon as Zhang Jin arrived, Zhang Xiaos anger surged up and she said in a low voice: "Let her come in!"

  On this side, Zhang Qi was supported back to her room by A Lu.

  As soon as the door closed, Zhang Qi gently pushed Ah Lu away and sat down beside the bed.

  Seeing her walking freely, Ah Lu glared with wide eyes.

  Zhang Qi looked up at her, beckoned her over, and then said in a low voice, "I think, madam, you mean to do me harm."

  "Whats going to happen now?"

  Zhang Qi slowly rubbed her hands together, which were crossed over each other.

  After a while, she raised her head and said, "Theres no good solution for the time being." In Ah Lus disappointed face, Zhang Qi said again, "If she can get far away from Zhang Jin, she might forget about me." It was just a possibility that she had already entered Zhang Xiaos eyes, and who knows when she would be used by her at any moment.

  Shed better think it over carefully.

  After thinking for a long time, Zhang Qi let out a soft sigh and said, "Go to sleep."

  "Huh."

  Lu had always been a heavy sleeper, and before long, she was snoring softly. Zhang Gui sat in front of the window, gazing out at the bright moonlight, feeling wide awake.

  The moon is bright outside, a gentle breeze blows in, its really a good time to play the zither.

  Zhang Yi plays the piano very well.

  Unfortunately, she didnt dare to show off her talent even if she had the opportunity. Now that she hasnt been forced to a desperate situation yet, when theres no other way out, she will fully reveal her talent and make her name as a talented beauty known throughout Jiankang. Even if the Zhang family wants to marry her off to some noble as a concubine, theyll have to carefully consider it. And for herself, she can also take advantage of the situation to strive for more.

  She now just wants to quietly make arrangements and wait until everything is ready before silently disappearing.

  At this time, Zhang Gui had no idea about Guangling Wang who had just yelled at her.

  After sitting for a while, Zhang Gui felt tired and sleepy. She curled up on the couch and slowly fell into a dreamland.

  When Zhang Qi opened her eyes, she found that the sun was shining brightly on the ground, and some of it had shone into the house.

  Why so late?

  Zhang Qi hurriedly got up and saw that all the water basins and towels were in the room. She quickly washed her face.

  At this time, a footstep sound came, and then A Lus voice came from outside, "A Qi, are you awake?"

  Zhang Qi replied impatiently: "Im awake." He didnt even call out to wake himself up, and he had no idea if he would be late for school.

  She was born with a soft and delicate voice, although she spoke in a bad tone, her voice was still crisp and soft, making people feel comfortable.

  A Lu pushed open the door and stood on the threshold with her head stretched in. Her round eyes rolled around, and A Lu said in a small voice: "Its Jin Guzi who doesnt let me wake you up!"

  Zhang Jin?

  Zhang Qi was stunned, and the comb in her hand fell to the ground.

  As she bent down to pick it up, Ah Lus voice continued to come, "Jin Guzi wants you to wait in the house."

  Zhang Qi nodded, slowly straightened up and sat back down on the couch. Ah Lu entered through the door, "Ah Qi, are you hungry? I brought some pastries back." After speaking, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket, carefully unfolded it, and pulled out several small, flat pastries.

  Zhang Qi wasnt hungry at all, but she thought she should eat something.

  Just as she had taken a small piece of pastry into her mouth, the sound of footsteps came from outside, and then a maid walked to the door and called out: "Is Mistress Gui in?"

  "Present," replied Ah Green in a crisp voice.

  The door was open, and the maid walked in. She curtsied to Zhang Gui and said, "Miss Gui, Master Xuan is calling for you."

  What did her ninth brother call her?
