The old maid seemed unable to bear it anymore and said, "Miss, you should stop covering for the Princess Consort. She treats you this way, and yet you protect her. Even the maid cannot stand it. Miss, you really have a good heart. The Princess Consort beats you, but you shouldn’t endure it like this! The Prince will also feel heartache."
Lingling seemed very anxious and shouted to stop her, "Nanny, stop talking. The Princess Consort didn’t do it on purpose."
Finally, she looked at Long Rui worriedly and explained, "Brother Rui, don’t listen to the nanny’s nonsense. I fell myself. It really has nothing to do with the Princess Consort."
The old maid stomped her feet in frustration, looking like she hated iron for not becoming steel, "Miss... you...!"
Lingling suddenly shouted firmly, "Stop talking!"
The old maid was startled and lowered her head, no longer daring to speak.
"Prince, please don’t listen to this cheap maid’s nonsense. The Princess Consort really didn’t hit Lingling. Lingling fell on her own." Lingling looked at Long Rui pleadingly, as if she was really worried he might go and hit Situtu Xueer.
Long Yi secretly glanced at the Prince, but the Prince’s face was hidden behind a mask, so it was impossible to tell what his expression was.
He was really worried that the Prince might be deceived by the woman in front of him and go blame the Princess Consort.
Long Rui frowned slightly and said, "Lingling, you too, you’re grown up now, how could you not pay more attention when walking? Falling like this. If you hadn’t said it was a fall, I would have really thought someone beat you. And your servants too, how can they open their mouths to falsely accuse my wife? I believe my wife is not that kind of person. She is reasonable and won’t hit someone without reason, unless someone provokes her."
Long Rui had known Xuexue for so long and considered himself to understand her well.
Xuexue had a personality where she wouldn’t offend others unless they offended her. If she truly hit Gu Lingqiao, there was no doubt that Gu Lingqiao must have provoked her, and there was no need for sympathy.
Gu Lingqiao was stunned, looking down at her own miserable state, anyway it didn’t look like she fell by herself, yet Long Rui actually believed it, what a miscalculation, truly a miscalculation!
Wasn’t it rumored that the War Prince could see through human nature and understand people’s hearts? How could he not see such obvious flaws?
Gu Lingqiao regretted deeply, but at this moment, reversing her words to say her injuries were caused by Xuexue seemed inconsistent and would also ruin her image in Long Rui’s heart.
Long Rui looked at her with disdain and said, "Lingling, your face is covered with blood and mud, go deal with it quickly. If you’re late, be careful of disfigurement. If you end up looking as ugly as Brother Rui, don’t cry then."
"What, disfigure?" Gu Lingqiao jumped in fright and reached to touch her face. Accidentally touching the wound, a sharp pain surged through her heart, causing her to grimace.
"Oh no, this is not okay. I need to find a doctor quickly." Lingling no longer concerned herself with Long Rui, turned, and left. She didn’t want to be disfigured and end up looking like Long Rui, neither human nor ghost.
"Miss, Miss!" The old maid chased after tightly.
Lingling held her face wound with her hand, her expression painful, and asked, "What’s the matter?"
The old maid, recently scorned by Long Rui and somewhat afraid, said in a low voice, "Miss, have you forgotten? This is the War Prince’s Mansion, even to invite a doctor, you need the Prince’s approval."
Upon hearing, Gu Lingqiao stopped in her tracks. Right! Almost forgot, she’s now in the War Prince’s Mansion, everything depends on Long Rui.
"Brother Rui! Lingling needs to see a doctor."
She turned around, looking at Long Rui pitifully.
