"Brother Rui, come, sit down quickly. Lingling had the old maid buy these dishes from the restaurant outside, they are fresh and delicious."
As she spoke, she attempted to reach for Long Rui’s arm, but who knew, with a turn, Long Rui deftly avoided it.
Gu Lingqiao didn’t mind either; she had no desire to touch an ugly duckling.
The old maid next to them poured them wine graciously, then flashed a strange smile and whispered, "Miss, I’ll go see if there are other dishes in the kitchen and have them bring some nice dishes for you and the Prince to go with the wine."
Gu Lingqiao nodded knowingly: "Mm, you go ahead!"
When the old maid went out, she also called out the only two maids, saying it was to have them help. In fact, everyone knew the real intent was to deliberately avoid having them disturb Miss and the Prince’s time together.
The next day, Xuexue had just gotten up, and while Zi Xia was helping her wash up, she seemed hesitant to speak, as if there was something she found difficult to express.
"Zi Xia, just speak your mind. Watching you holding it in makes me uncomfortable too," Xuexue said, putting down the towel.
"Huh? Miss, how did you know I had something to say?"
"You have that constipated look, how could I not know?"
"Miss, how can you be so vulgar?"
"So, what’s the matter?"
"The Prince, the Prince he...!" Zi Xia said, struggling to find the words.
"The Prince, what happened?"
"The Prince stayed overnight at Miss Gu’s place last night," Zi Xia said, summoning her courage, unsure if telling this to the eldest miss was right or wrong, as the last time the eldest miss was jealous, she offended Old Master Gu, and who knows if this would leave behind trouble.
"Is that so?"
"Yes! It’s absolutely true, I saw the Prince come out of her room with my own eyes early this morning."
Long Rui’s scandals have always been numerous, with rumors of him being lustful and indulging in nightly revelries, all suggesting his lust for women.
Before Xuexue married into the General’s Mansion, she had once snuck into the War Prince’s Mansion with Little Tiger, uncovering an unknown truth.
The so-called lustfulness was just Long Rui’s way of fooling the Emperor, in reality, he just sat on the side the whole time, doing nothing.
It was those girls who, after taking drugs, were directing and acting by themselves.
Naturally, Xuexue linked this matter with Long Rui’s past behavior.
"The Prince has always had many women; having one more or one less doesn’t make a difference, so why make a fuss?" Xuexue said nonchalantly, walking to sit at the dressing table.
Zi Xia got anxious at this: "Miss, the Prince is almost being stolen away by a vixen spirit, how can you be so indifferent?"
"Hurry and come style my hair, I’m hungry."
"Miss."
"Hurry up, once we finish breakfast, we still have to go inspect the shop."
"You’re always thinking about business all day long. No matter how much money you have, if the Prince’s heart isn’t in it, what’s the use?"
"Of course, it’s useful. If the person is gone, I’ll still have to hold onto the money, right?" Xuexue said with a half-smile, deep down never believing Long Rui would betray her.
If he was truly a lustful man, he wouldn’t have sat unmoved before, remaining indifferent amidst so many beauties dancing wildly around him.
"Miss, you’re not lacking money, why do you love making money so much?" Zi Xia muttered as she stepped forward to help her with her grooming.
Xuexue: "Old Master Gu is the richest man under the heavens, isn’t that enough money? Yet he still wants more, so this world has no one who thinks they have too much money."
