Little Jing Kong was so excited that he clapped his hands and bounced around, saying, "Baby brother laughed! Baby brother laughed!"
At this moment, Marquis Gu arrived from the newly built princess mansion. Due to heavy snowfall earlier, the mansion"s finishing work had been delayed. With the weather improving recently, he led the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works and worked day and night to catch up on the construction.
Today, he came to transport materials and took a special detour to see his wife and son.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the voice of Little Jing Kong. He concentrated and held his breath, and indeed heard his son"s laughter.
His son could laugh now!
Marquis Gu walked energetically into the house, "Son! Dad"s here to see you!"
Without even looking at Gu Jiao, he headed straight for his wife Yao shi and picked up Gu Xiaobao with overflowing paternal love.
Then Gu Xiaobao stopped laughing.
Marquis Gu teased him, "...Son? Give dad another smile!"
Under the hopeful gaze of his father, Gu Xiaobao calmly put his little finger into his mouth and fell asleep in a second!
Marquis Gu: "..."
……
Mo Qianxue slept through the afternoon. Physician Tong came to visit once to check her pulse and inspect her injuries.
Everything was fine.
Heavenly Music House had an incident, so the teahouses opened early, attracting more people wandering on the streets, leading to an increase in headaches, drunken disturbances, and heated arguments.
The medical hall received a wave of drunken and injured people today. With fewer physicians available, they were slightly overwhelmed.
However, none of this concerned Mo Qianxue. She didn"t require additional treatment. All she needed was to recuperate quietly in her room.
A servant brought her a meal.
Mo Qianxue ate a little. With her leg injured and ribs broken, she couldn"t move and could only lie idle in bed.
Sitting up against the headboard, she fidgeted with the handkerchief in her hand, humming, "Where did that little swindler go?"
Suddenly, a figure flashed past the door.
A hint of wariness flashed in Mo Qianxue"s eyes, "Who"s there?"
The slightly ajar door was gently pushed open from outside, first revealing an exquisite embroidered fan slipping through the gap, followed by its owner stepping in with graceful strides.
It was a pair of brand new pink lotus embroidered shoes, made with genuine gold thread—extremely expensive. In the whole capital, only the top courtesan from the Heavenly Music House could afford to wear this kind of footwear.
Mo Qianxue"s wary expression faded, replaced by a faint sense of disgust.
"What are you here for?" Mo Qianxue asked coldly.
Hua Xiyao beamed and said, "I came to see you, sister."
Hua Xiyao shut the door behind her, then gracefully walked towards Mo Qianxue"s bed.
Mo Qianxue disdainfully said, "Who"s your sister? Stop randomly claiming relations."
"Heh." Hua Xiyao giggled behind her fan, "We"re all women from the brothel, who"s n.o.bler than whom? Don"t talk like you"re some young lady from a respectable family."
Mo Qianxue replied with impatience, "Get to the point if you have something to say. Otherwise, roll away."
Hua Xiyao laughed and said with a tilt of her head, "It"s been a few days, yet sister, you"re still so vulgar. Does that young master know about your true nature? Was it hard for you to pretend in front of him? Oh, I forgot, it’s not a young master, it’s a precious young miss. Sister, you"ve misplaced your devoted heart."
Mo Qianxue coldly glanced at her, "Hua Xiyao, are you that idle and have nothing else to do, that you specifically came to tell me these things?"
Hua Xiyao sneered and pulled out three silver needles from her pocket, "So, those three people weren"t killed by sister? This type of silver needle resembles the Tang Sect"s Tanghua Needle. Besides you, sister, it seems like no one else in the capital uses this kind of silver needle."
Mo Qianxue clenched the handkerchief tighter, unperturbed, "I don"t need to explain my actions to you."
Hua Xiyao tossed the three silver needles onto Mo Qianxue"s quilt, "It was the Young Owner who sent me."
Mo Qianxue"s eyes flashed slightly as she spoke seriously, "I killed those three to gain her trust."
Hua Xiyao sat at the edge of Mo Qianxue"s bed, looking into her eyes with a smirk, "She still doesn"t trust you enough?"
Mo Qianxue blinked lightly, raising her eyes and meeting Hua Xiyao"s gaze, "Not enough. I haven"t had the chance."
Hua Xiyao raised a corner of her lips, stood up and walked to the cabinet. She opened its door and ran her fingertips over Gu Jiao"s clothes, “You"re already sharing a room, and you still haven"t had the chance to make a move? Who is sister trying to deceive?”
"Then why don"t you do it instead?" Mo Qianxue countered.
Hua Xiyao closed the cabinet door and said, "I don"t have sister’s ability. She can casually flirt with a young n.o.bleman who turns out to be a big fish.”
Mo Qianxue glanced at her, saying, "It’s good you’re aware you lack the ability. Go back and tell the Young Owner that I will kill her! But I need time."
"Three days." Hua Xiyao extended three fingers.
Mo Qianxue looked coldly at Hua Xiyao.
Hua Xiyao smiled charmingly, "The Young Owner only wants to give you one day originally. I"ve fought for two more days for you, sister. So, sister, don"t disappoint my goodwill."
"Hua Xiyao." Mo Qianxue called out to Hua Xiyao, who was already turning to leave.
Hua Xiyao halted her steps and looked back with a smile, "Sister, is there something else?"
Mo Qianxue suddenly shot out a silk thread, entangling Hua Xiyao"s foot. Then, with a cold tug, the silk thread tore off the embroidered shoe from Hua Xiyao"s foot!
Mo Qianxue showed not a bit of politeness toward Hua Xiyao. If it weren"t for Hua Xiyao"s decent martial arts skills, she might have fallen flat on her face.
Hua Xiyao"s expression darkened, gritting her teeth, she exclaimed, "Mo Qianxue!"
Mo Qianxue coldly stated, "Get lost."Raz P."s Thoughts
