Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Gu Lingqiao sat on the stool sulking.

Seeing that there was nothing more to watch, Xiao Taohong turned around and drifted out, and Little Tiger, who had been waiting on the roof, also followed and left.

Gu Lingqiao glared at that plate of duck heads on the table, the more she looked the angrier she got. She swept out with her hand—clang, clang, clang—they all fell to the floor. Still not venting her anger, she cursed, "That ugly freak, is he sick in the head or what? Who in this world would like eating duck heads? I’m still a Miss of the Wealthy Family, okay!"

The Old Maid’s brows furrowed. With a temper like this, sooner or later the young lady was going to blow her cover.

The Old Maid said, "Miss, can’t you rein in your temper a bit?"

Gu Lingqiao said, "Eating this low‑grade crap every day, how do you expect me to rein it in?"

She was a Miss of the Wealthy Family, and she didn’t even have the most basic decent food. How was she supposed to endure that?

The Old Maid looked around mysteriously left and right, then lowered her voice and said, "Miss, don’t forget, we came to the War Prince’s Mansion this time with a mission. Food is a small matter. Can’t you just put up with it?"

Fine. Gu Lingqiao took a deep breath and asked, "Has the Prince come back yet?"

The young lady finally went back to calling him "Prince," and the Old Maid felt relieved. She said, "This maid gave some Silver to a few maids in the mansion as our eyes and ears. I just asked one of them; she said the Prince hasn’t returned yet."

"Whatever, I’m in a bad mood today. I’ll talk about it in a couple of days!" Given how things were now, if she saw the Prince she might expose herself. Once Gu Lingqiao thought of that, she let it go.

The Old Maid said, "As for the food, this maid will think of a way. Miss, just endure it for these two days."

This Long Rui was really hateful. He kept going on about the bond they had back then, yet he made her eat duck heads every single day. Gu Lingqiao felt that Long Rui just might be messing with her on purpose.

"Fine!" She glanced at the duck heads all over the floor, frowned, and said, "Tidy up the room, don’t let anyone see this."

Only now realizing it might be too late, wasn’t that a bit slow?

The fact that Gu Lingqiao loathed duck heads was already known to the steward.

Who knew if he would report it to the Prince? The Old Maid began to worry. If the Prince found out, would he start suspecting the young lady’s identity?

The Old Maid said, "Miss, if the Prince asks about the duck heads, what are you going to say?"

Gu Lingqiao said, "Isn’t it simple? Just say I liked them when I was little, and now that I’ve grown up, my tastes changed, that’s all."

The Old Maid said, "No, Miss, you can’t say it like that."

Gu Lingqiao said, "Then how am I supposed to say it?"

The Old Maid said, "Just say you’ve eaten too many these days and you’re sick of them, so you want a change of flavor."

Gu Lingqiao said impatiently, "Alright, I got it. It’s just a little thing, I really don’t get why you’re so nervous."

She was about to starve to death, and the Old Maid was still worrying about the Prince finding out she didn’t eat duck heads.

Gu Lingqiao touched her stomach. She’d basically been eating vegetarian for the past few days and was starving. She felt that if she didn’t get some meat soon, she was going to die. So she stood up and said to the Old Maid, "Let’s go eat at a restaurant."

The Old Maid hurriedly said, "Miss, that’s not a good idea. We don’t have much Silver left."

Gu Lingqiao gave a sly smile and said, "On my childhood sweetheart the Prince’s turf, you think I need to pay for a meal?"

The Old Maid was stunned for a moment. She looked at Gu Lingqiao and asked in confusion, "Miss, you mean...?"

"Let’s go."

With that, Gu Lingqiao reached up to straighten her clothes and skirt, then stepped out.

......

By dusk, when Long Rui came back from outside, he first went to the Rain Listening Courtyard to visit Xuexue, and even brought her some exquisite pastries.

Xuexue glanced at Long Rui, her tone tinged with sourness. "The Prince is getting busier and busier. You don’t even have time to come to the Rain Listening Courtyard anymore."
