Old Maid: "Miss, just bear with it. It’s the middle of the night, where can you get hot tea? Don’t wake up the people in the manor, if the Prince knows, he will be displeased."
Gu Lingqiao was extremely aggrieved: "But I feel awful."
The Old Maid glanced at the bloodless face of Gu Lingqiao and asked doubtfully, "Miss, are you pregnant?"
"Hmm!"
Gu Lingqiao lifted her arm, wiped the residue from her mouth, and her face turned red. She spoke softly, "Yes!"
Disdain flashed in the Old Maid’s eyes, and with a mocking tone, she said, "Miss, you’re not married yet, how can you do such a thing? If the Master knows, surely you’ll be punished."
Gu Lingqiao’s entire body was weak, completely unaware of the Old Maid’s attitude, still shyly saying, "I’m carrying the Master’s flesh and blood, why would the Master punish me?"
The Old Maid, upon hearing this, widened her eyes and asked in shock, "What? The child in your belly is the Master’s?"
"Yes!"
"How could that be?" The Master is such a noble person, how could he fancy this woman? The Old Maid found it hard to accept this matter.
"Why is it impossible? The Master and I are in love, marriage is only a matter of time, and the Master has already promised me that once this task is completed and we return to Wei Country, I’ll be carried over the threshold in an eight-person sedan chair."
"An eight-person sedan chair?"
The Old Maid was startled again; that’s the treatment for a legal wife. How could such a good person as the Master fancy this kind of woman?
Gu Lingqiao: "Nanny, my mouth has an odd taste, it’s really uncomfortable. Can you get some water so I can rinse my mouth?"
The Old Maid snapped back to reality, felt a bit angry, and said, "You’re not yet the Master’s woman, what right do you have to command me? If you want to rinse your mouth, find it yourself!"
After saying that, she stormed out angrily.
Gu Lingqiao felt bewildered; she only asked her to bring back a pot of tea water, why get so angry?
Having just vomited, her entire body lacked strength, and with the darkness outside, Gu Lingqiao feared falling and hurting the child in her womb, so she had no choice but to endure the discomfort, climbing into bed to rest.
After closing her eyes for a short while, suddenly, a strong wind blew through the room, and the temperature suddenly dropped.
Gu Lingqiao lay in bed, shivering from the cold, wrapping herself in quilts, but still felt very cold.
"Strange, it’s not supposed to be cold now, why is it so cold tonight?" Gu Lingqiao murmured to herself while lying in bed.
"Bang...!"
Suddenly, the window and door began to shake continuously.
"What’s going on? Why is it so windy tonight?" Gu Lingqiao, lying in bed, turned her head to take a look, and immediately her whole body froze.
She saw a four or five-year-old little girl, dressed in red clothes, standing on the window sill, smiling at her.
"Little girl, where did you come from? It’s so late, shouldn’t you be going back to rest?" Gu Lingqiao, startled at first, quickly asked.
"Hehehe...! Sister, are you talking to me?" The little girl let out a eerie laugh.
"Apart from you, who else is there?"
"People? Hehehe...! I’m not a person."
"Little girl, what a joke! Hurry back! Your parents must be looking for you everywhere."
Gu Lingqiao felt her heart fluttering uneasily, feeling increasingly uneasy. Even if the girl’s body is small, she shouldn’t be standing on the window sill, right? However, upon closer inspection, the little girl stood on the window sill quite comfortably, with an air of leisurely relaxation. And, judging by her height, she seemed to fit the window quite well, almost too perfectly. How could a four or five-year-old child be so short to be only at window sill height?
