299 New and Old Debts Shall Be Settled Together
It was not that she did not know her own limits. From the way His Royal Highness treated Gu Qingxue that day, she could tell that the Royal Highness was not just protecting Gu Qingxue.
Without sufficient evidence, she would be a real idiot if she attacked Gu Qingxue again without permission.
She was not that stupid, nor was she that impulsive.
Bing’er was disheartened, “Then princess, are we just going to let this matter go?”
Princess Liuying’s eyes immediately widened, she said sharply, “Of course, we can’t let it go! Just wait and see. I don’t believe that I can’t get something on Gu Qingxue! I’ll bear with it for now. When the time comes, we’ll settle the old scores together.”
Bing’er looked at Princess Liuying suspiciously when she saw her full of confidence.
Would things really be as easy as the princess said? Why did she feel that Gu Qingxue was far more difficult to deal with than they had imagined? She thought that the princess had planned everything meticulously, but hadn’t she still lost?
Bing’er thought so in her heart, but she did not dare to say it out loud. She could only continue to serve Princess Liuying silently.
Time flew by, and five days later…
Nine’s condition gradually stabilized. Gu Qingxue then rushed to An Pharmacy to provide treatment.
Sitting in Gong Lingyu’s carriage, Gu Qingxue said to Gong Lingyu, who was sitting opposite her, “Yu’er, your illness has just recovered. You should continue to recuperate. There’s no need for you to come out with me.”
Gong Lingyu stood up and walked to Gu Qingxue’s side and sat down like a spoiled child, she hugged her arm. “But I want to be with Sister Gu. Besides, my cousin always pesters Sister Gu when I’m at home. I don’t even have the chance to get close to you.”
Gu Qingxue did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. She reached out and pinched Gong Lingyu’s little face. “Nonsense. His Royal Highness has never pestered me.”
However, she also realized that Gong Lingyu could even act coquettishly with the children whenever Rong Zhan was not around. Gong Lingyu would restrain herself whenever Rong Zhan appeared.
Rong Zhan had clearly not done anything excessive to her, but Gong Lingyu seemed to be naturally afraid of him. She was so scared that she did not dare to move every time she saw him.
Gong Lingyu did not deny what Gu Qingxue said. She just lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes.
She did not believe Sister Gu’s words!
Although her cousin did not show any favoritism toward Sister Gu, she had never seen her cousin being so intimate with any woman.
Moreover, she had not forgotten the words that she had overheard at the door that day!
“Anyway, I will be in charge of picking up and sending Sister Gu from now on. Take it as the room fee that I should give to Sister Gu,” Gong Lingyu said with a smile as she hugged Gu Qingxue’s arm.
Gu Qingxue was so amused that she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You brat, you’re really depending on me. Let me tell you first. When I’m on duty, it won’t be fun. If you’re bored, go take a walk on the street with Miao Yin.”
Gong Lingyu nodded her head repeatedly in agreement, but she did not think so in her heart.
How could she feel bored when following Sister Gu?
Even if she just followed Sister Gu, she would still find it very interesting!
After all, Sister Gu was so beautiful. As long as she looked at Sister Gu, she would find it pleasing to the eye and happy.
The horse carriage soon arrived at the entrance of An Pharmacy. Gong Lingyu held Gu Qingxue’s hand and got off the carriage. Along the way, she attracted many curious gazes from passersby.
