Chapter 404 - 404 What Did You Mean?
404 What Did You Mean?
“I can see that you seem to be very afraid of me, Miss Yue. Since it’s inconvenient for Miss Yue, I’ll go back first.” Mu Chengyao cupped his hands, he did not make any more offensive actions and stood up to walk towards the Gu residence.
Gu Lingyue frowned tightly and asked, “Young Master Mu, what did you mean by what you said just now?”
Mu Chengyao did not turn around. He stopped and said slowly, “Miss Yue, you shouldn’t have asked.”
Without a clear answer, Mu Chengyao picked up his pace and left.
Gu Lingyue was left alone on the spot. She pressed her hand on her chest and felt her heartbeat. She could not calm down for a long time.
Without Gu Qingxue, the main character, there was no point in the Gu family’s banquet. The guests only went home after they had their meal out of respect.
The Gu family had lost an adult this time. After the guests returned home, they could not help but feel resentful. They told the people around them that the Gu family did not know how to do things.
The news spread like wildfire. By the afternoon, it had already spread throughout the capital.
Gu Qingxue was sitting in the garden of the princess’ residence with Gong Lingyu when she heard the news. She was watching the three cubs play in the snow happily under the care of the maids and servants.
The three children were having a great time. Their laughter, which sounded like silver bells, spread far and wide, so that the two people in the garden could hear it clearly.
Gong Lingyu smiled enviously and said, “I really don’t know why those three little ones aren’t afraid of the cold at all. Every time it’s this weather, I always want to hide in the warm pavilion and not go out.”
“Your body just recovered. It’s not suitable for you to go out and enjoy the cold wind. In the future, I’ll help you prescribe some medicinal cuisine. When you’re free, ask the chef in the manor to make it for you to eat. I guarantee that your body will become better and better, so that you’ll be white and chubby.” Gu Qingxue drank the top-quality tea in the cup, she teased.
“Sister Gu, You’re so bad. What kind of woman likes to be chubby? If no one marries me, I’ll let Sister Gu raise me for the rest of my life,” Gong Lingyu said charmingly.
“Okay. As long as I’m fine financially, I’ll raise you.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she saw Miao Yin quickly walk in with a smile on her face.
“Miao Yin, what made you so happy?” Gu Qingxue raised her eyebrows and asked Miao Yin.
Miao Yin’s little face was flushed red. She walked forward excitedly and bowed to the two of them, “Princess, Eldest Miss Gu, the Gu family has lost their honor today.”
Ever since she knew that the Gu family treated Gu Qingxue badly, Miao Yin did not have to worry about the Gu family matters and said whatever she wanted to say.
Gu Qingxue did not mind at all. Instead, she asked with great interest, “Tell me more about it.”
“The Gu family set up a banquet and invited so many people. In the end, Eldest Miss Gu, you didn’t go back. Madam Kou is ashamed. That’s true. Those people clearly knew that the Gu family treated you badly. Why did they still think that you would go back? The wife of the Marquis Yuanping and the wife of Imperial Duke Zhan even stood on Eldest Miss Gu’s side and ridiculed the Eldest Madam of the Gu family before leaving.” Miao Yin said with a beaming expression, it was as if she had personally witnessed all of this when she was at the scene.
Her foster mother actually made a trip to the Gu family for her?
Gu Qingxue felt surprised, but at the same time, she could not help but feel a surge of warmth in her heart.
