Most of the medicinal herbs she needs are extremely rare and grow in extremely dangerous places. Wild beasts and monsters are rampant in those places. Without spiritual power above the fourth level, it is impossible to even take a step. This also results in the sky-high price of these medicinal herbs. Sowing is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
So her current task is to find money, and to pick some medicinal herbs by herself, as many as she can on her own.
Although her spiritual power is not up to that, she has the ability to teleport and is still very capable of running away at critical moments.
She was thinking about it when she suddenly seemed to hear something. She turned her wrist and found that the small crystal box had been properly put away by her. She then touched a book next to her and leaned on it to read.
After a while, there was some movement outside, and a gentle voice sounded: "Sixth sister, are you in the house?" The voice belonged to Gu Tianqing.
The maid outside had already received instructions from Gu Xijiu. If someone came to visit, they would not be allowed in as long as Gu Xijiu didn't respond.
So the maids naturally stopped Gu Tianqing and Gu Tianyi, saying only that their masters had taken a break and would no longer have any guests...
The two daughters of the Gu family originally came with a suspicion, but seeing the reactions of the maids, they became even more suspicious.
The two people gave several reasons to want to go in, but were blocked by the maids, which made them more and more suspicious. Gu Tianyi's pretty face sank: "Is it true that your lady is not in the room at all?" She simply forced her way in. .
These two people are not weak in martial arts. Besides, these maids are also slaves of the Gu family after all. They did not dare to really fight against the two girls of the Gu family. They rushed in within a moment!
The door to the boudoir burst open, and Gu Tianqing and his two daughters came in like a gust of wind. They were stunned for a moment when they saw everything in the room clearly!
Gu Xijiu was lying on the bed in a nightgown, with her long hair half disheveled, holding a book in her hand, with a leisurely and indifferent expression. She looked at the two people who came in, raised her eyebrows slightly, and spoke in a soft voice. But Rudao said: "It's dark at night, what does it mean for you two to forcefully break into someone else's house? Are you going to rob or kill?"
Gu Tianqing didn't expect that she was actually in the house, and there was a bit of chatter for a moment. Gu Tianqing managed to smooth things over with a smile: "Sixth sister, we two also care about you. We were afraid that you would be angered by those dog slaves and be plotted by them, so we broke in to take a look. Sixth sister, Sister, it’s true, since you are in the house, why haven’t you answered?”
Gu Xijiu put down the book in her hand: "I have been used to being quiet these years and don't want to be disturbed. Isn't this also allowed?"
Gu Tianqing was choked again, and Gu Tianyi said angrily: "We came to see you out of kindness..."
"Thanks, but no need." Gu Xijiu's voice became even calmer: "Here comes someone!"
A leader of the maids outside hurriedly came in to salute and obey orders.
"Who was guarding the outside just now? Call them in!"
The head maid hurriedly went out and called the two doorkeepers in. Gu Xijiu sat up and looked down at them kneeling there: "Whose maid are you? Who is your master?"
The two maids lowered their heads and replied: "We are Miss Six's maids, and Miss Six is our master."
Gu Xijiu's voice was cold: "Since you know that I am your master, why don't you stop the intruders?"
The two maids fell on the ground and apologized again and again: "I know I was wrong."
