Gu Lingqiao was angry, her beautiful eyes glaring at the old maid, speaking excitedly, "Nanny, how can you talk like that?"
The old maid was not afraid of her at all. If it weren’t for the plan, she wouldn’t want to be the servant of this idiot. She was, after all, the number one assassin in the Itinerant World.
Moreover, Gu Lingqiao was as dumb as a post, like a pig, never using her brain, always picking fights and battling with others. That was the behavior of an idiot; clever people used their brains. Yet, she had done stupid things and still felt proud.
The old maid didn’t want to argue with her and said calmly, "Miss, since things are already like this, we need to quickly think of a way to fix it. Otherwise, we won’t be able to explain it on the Master’s side."
Upon mentioning Lin Kong, Gu Lingqiao fell silent. Ever since Lin Kong last visited, he seemed to have vanished without a trace, not appearing at all. Nobody knew if something had happened. Gu Lingqiao felt a bit worried; she carried Lin Kong’s child. If something happened to him in Moli Country, how would the mother and child live?
"Nanny, did something happen to the Master? Otherwise, why hasn’t he come to find us?" Gu Lingqiao asked anxiously, wringing her hands.
"Pfft, you crow mouth, don’t talk nonsense. The Master is highly skilled in martial arts; how could anything happen to him."
"But last time...!"
"Last time was just an accident. Even the best-skilled people make mistakes; isn’t the War Prince a prime example?"
"Yes, that’s true."
"Let’s not argue." At this, the old maid’s eyes gleamed with a strange light, beckoning Gu Lingqiao mysteriously.
Although puzzled, Gu Lingqiao still leaned in.
The old maid whispered in her ear for a while, and a smile gradually appeared on Gu Lingqiao’s face as she nodded continuously while listening.
"Miss, how do you find this brilliant plan?" the old maid asked after speaking.
"Good! A brilliant plan."
"Miss, in that case, shall we in a few days...?"
"Yes."
Gu Lingqiao readily agreed.
On this day, Xuexue was accompanying Long Rui playing chess in the room when suddenly, the doorkeeper hurriedly reported that someone outside was looking for the Princess Consort of War Prince.
Holding a chess piece, Long Rui frowned unhappily and said, "Who is it? Coming at this time, what a mood killer, don’t see them. Tell them the Princess Consort is busy; they should come another day!"
The doorkeeper was unsure what to do, looking between the Prince and the Princess Consort, not knowing whether to retreat.
Just then, Xiao Jiu fluttered in from outside, chirping, "Master, Master, the ugly one is here, the ugly one is here."
Xuexue looked confused and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
Xiao Jiu stopped on her shoulder and screeched, "It’s your third sister, the one making a fuss, dressed in red and green, with a thick layer of powder on her face, so ugly, so ugly."
Xuexue froze for a moment, Situ Dieer? What was she here for? Could it be she wanted to return to the General’s Mansion?
Not to mention Situ Yongjie wouldn’t agree, even she wouldn’t agree. In her past life, she was plotted to death by this woman’s schemes, and in this life, she wouldn’t let her live so comfortably.
"What does she want?"
"Surely up to no good, Master, you must be careful! That woman is not simple."
"How can you tell?"
"Even a fool can guess; the Third Prince had just returned when she latched onto him. How could it be such a coincidence? She must have used some scheme." Actually, these words weren’t Xiao Jiu’s thoughts, but overheard once from Zi Xia and Long’s discussion.
