Chapter 587: Really Important

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

She even changed her hairstyle. If one didnt look closely, one would think she was one of the maids in the mansion.

The gatekeeper was momentarily stunned when he saw her.

Gu Qiner was feeling desperate. With less than half an hour left, she couldnt afford to delay any longer. She opened the door and got straight to the point, I need to see the bride.

The gatekeeper replied, Miss, Im sorry, but the bride is not receiving any visitors at the moment.

Gu Qiner lowered her voice and urged, I have something very important to tell my elder sister. If it delays something crucial, can you bear the responsibility? The gatekeeper didnt know what she was up to but was afraid that there might be a serious matter. After exchanging a glance with his companion, one of them went inside to inform Gu Qingluan.

Bo He stood guard at the door of the new room and saw the gatekeeper approaching. She furrowed her delicate eyebrows and asked softly when she entered the courtyard, Whats going on?

The gatekeeper replied, Fifth Lady Gu has come again, claiming that she has something urgent to tell Madam.

Bo He looked back at the tightly closed door and thought about how her mistress went to the Salvation Hall to save someone yesterday and hadnt slept well last night. She woke up early to dress up. Now that she finally had a chance to rest, it seemed unnecessary to disturb her for someone with unclear intentions. She instructed the gatekeeper to refuse Gu Qiner.

Gu Qiner anxiously waited outside the courtyard.

She thought to herself that with her current appearance, those two men shouldnt recognize her.

At first, she did intend to follow the instructions of those two men, but as the moment approached, she suddenly changed her mind.

Ever since Gu Qingluan returned to Tianjing, she had become very mysterious.

Anyone, whether from the Gu family or outsiders, who opposed her, didnt end up well.

After thinking it over, Gu Qiner felt that instead of cooperating with two unknown villains, she might as well take a gamble. Maybe she could gain Gu Qingluans trust from this point onward.

But she didnt expect that Gu Qingluan would refuse to see her at all.

Fifth Lady Gu, please go back. Madam is not available to see guests right now, the gatekeeper said.

Gu Qiner furrowed her eyebrows, I really have something very important to tell her. If she doesnt listen, she will definitely regret it!

The gatekeeper didnt take her seriously and stood guard at the door like a door G.o.d. Gu Qiner couldnt enter at all, and she didnt dare to make a scene, fearing it would attract the attention of those two men.

Should she just leave like this?

Half an hour might seem brief, but if she failed to hand over Gu Xiaonan to those two men by that time, the poison within her would begin to take its toll.

If something really happened to Gu Xiaonan, Gu Qingluan might trace it back to her. Even if she cured the poison, she would likely meet a miserable end.

Wasnt the Fifth Prince killed because he kidnapped Gu Qingluans son?

Thinking of this, Gu Qiner felt uneasy.

She gritted her teeth and asked them for ink, paper, brush, and inkstone.

The gatekeeper didnt refuse this request. After going inside to explain the situation, he brought out paper and ink for her.

Gu Qiner took the pen and inkstone, quickly wrote a letter, folded it several times, and handed it to the gatekeeper. Please give this to elder sister and tell her its really important.

After saying that, she left in a hurry.

In the backyard.

The Feng Residence was very large, and most of the servants were helping in the front yard, making the backyard seem particularly deserted.

The scar-faced man and the tall, thin man hid behind a rockery.

There was a gap between the rockeries that allowed them to see the entrance to the backyard.

Could that girl be deceiving us? the scar-faced man couldnt help but ask his companion, unable to contain his doubts.

The tall, thin man remained calm and replied, I inquired earlier. Her name is Gu Qiner, and she is indeed the Fifth Lady of the Gu family. She has a strained relations.h.i.+p with Gu Qingluan, her half-sister. She shouldnt go and complain.

He was always cautious by nature, even after poisoning Gu Qiner, he still remained uneasy.

So, before waiting in the backyard, he first went to investigate her background.

The scar-faced man nodded approvingly. Youre thorough in your preparations.

As the appointed time approached and they still hadnt seen Gu Qiner and the child, the scar-faced man furrowed his brow and muttered, Half an hour has almost pa.s.sed. Could that girl be unable to bring the child over?

The tall, thin man didnt speak, his eyes fixed on the entrance gate.

Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he whispered, Someones coming..
