Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Gu Lingqiao naturally said, "Yeah!"

The Old Maid’s face darkened, "Miss, can’t you be more careful?"

Gu Lingqiao raised her eyes to look at her and asked, "What’s up?"

The Old Maid said unhappily, "You’re still asking what’s up? Is that how you speak? Even if that Mansion isn’t clean, asking them directly like that isn’t asking for trouble?"

Gu Lingqiao dismissively, proudly said, "What’s my relationship with the Prince? Even if I say something wrong, the Prince won’t hate me."

The Old Maid sneered, saying, "You really think you’re the Prince’s childhood sweetheart."

Gu Lingqiao’s face stiffened, "Didn’t we agree? Don’t bring this up in the future. If I get exposed, you won’t have a good end either."

The Old Maid: "You should at least act like a lady and stop throwing fits all the time?"

Over the duck head issue, this Aunt has caused so many scenes, running back and forth cleaning up after her, her legs have run thin.

At that moment, someone knocked at the door...

"Tok tok tok...!"

The two inside the room fell silent for a moment.

"Miss Gu, the Prince requests your presence." It was the steward’s voice.

Gu Lingqiao glanced out the window at the sky, which had unknowingly brightened, and said, "Alright, I’ll be there in a moment."

Steward: "The Prince wants you to hurry."

Gu Lingqiao impatiently said, "Got it."

These days, over the duck head issue, Gu Lingqiao still held a grudge against him. This steward was as stiff as a board, only listening to the Prince’s orders, with not a hint of cleverness in his work. Knowing full well she was the Prince’s childhood friend, yet he still didn’t know to send her an extra dish.

The Old Maid helped Gu Lingqiao dress up before going to the hall to meet Long Rui.

"Brother Rui, did you call Lingling so early because you missed her?" As soon as she entered the hall, Gu Lingqiao, like a happy little Birdy, pounced towards Long Rui.

Long Rui helplessly sidestepped, dodging her grasping hands.

Gu Lingqiao couldn’t slow her approach, almost crashing into a table, but Long Rui quickly grabbed her clothes from behind, narrowly saving her from disaster.

She pouted and looked unhappily at Long Rui, coquettishly saying, "Brother Rui, you’re so mean. Do you dislike Lingling?"

Long Rui: "Lingling, you’re grown up, don’t you know men and women shouldn’t be in close contact?"

Gu Lingqiao: "What’s there to fear? I’m going to marry Brother Rui in the future anyway."

Long Rui: "Stop with the nonsense, I already have a Princess Consort."

Gu Lingqiao dismissively said, "Brother Rui has so many women, what’s wrong with having one more Lingling?"

Long Rui waved his hand and said, "Let’s put this matter aside for now, Lingling, do you know this person?"

After speaking, he pointed to a man standing nearby.

Behind Long Rui stood a middle-aged man dressed in long robes, looking refined and scholarly, like a businessman.

Gu Lingqiao found him familiar, but couldn’t remember where she’d seen him before.

Gu Lingqiao: "Brother Rui, who’s he?"

The Old Maid’s face changed when she saw him. Wasn’t this the shopkeeper of the tavern from last night? It’s really something, owing him just a little Silver, and he actually chased all the way to the War Prince’s Mansion.

The Miss as well, she’d said not to eat if they had no money, but she didn’t listen and even used the name of the War Prince’s Mansion, thinking people wouldn’t dare to come asking for debts. Just one night later, the shopkeeper had already come knocking.

Long Rui frowned: "Take a closer look."

Gu Lingqiao pouted unhappily and mumbled under her breath, "Lingling just arrived in the Capital, I’m unfamiliar with everyone, how would I know who he is?"
