Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Now her face was burning, and Gu Lingqiao, who had never suffered any grievance, couldn’t help but burst into loud cries.

Old Maid: "Miss, miss, don’t cry, it won’t look good if your face is all messed up."

Gu Lingqiao’s face was a mess, with not only cosmetics but also mud; she cried, disheveled, and said: "The Prince is not in the mansion, who will see?"

Indeed, Gu Lingqiao knew that Long Rui had gone out so she purposely came over to make trouble for Xuexue. Who would have thought that not only did she fail to bully anyone, but Xuexue had ordered Zi Xia to throw her out, an absolute disgrace.

Old Maid: "Miss, stop crying, if your eyes get swollen, it won’t look good when the Prince comes back."

Other maids offered advice, saying: "No, the Miss should cry, the harder she cries, the better."

Gu Lingqiao and the old maid looked at her together and asked: "Why?"

The maid smiled somewhat mysteriously and said: "The Prince is so good to Miss, if he sees her so miserable, he will definitely scold the Princess Consort. Then, when the Prince and the Princess Consort start to argue, won’t the Miss have opportunities?"

In the Prince’s Mansion, there’s a rumor that the Prince and the Princess Consort have a good relationship. Now there’s such a good opportunity to sow discord and make them not get along, why not?

Gu Lingqiao blurted out: "Looks like a ghost, I really don’t care."

Hearing this, the maids and old maid nervously looked around and then turned back, whispering sneakily: "Miss, don’t risk your life! Don’t say things recklessly."

Gu Lingqiao immediately covered her mouth, almost forgetting what her purpose was.

"Speaking too much leads to mistakes, no more talking, let’s hurry back and change clothes," Gu Lingqiao wiped her face, which was already messed up, and after being wiped with mud on the back of her hand, looked even worse, quite appalling.

After walking forward a dozen meters, Long Rui and Long Yi came over.

The old maid, sharp-eyed, hurried to pull Gu Lingqiao and whispered: "Miss, the Prince is coming!"

The meaning was quite clear, she wanted her to pretend to be pitiful.

"Waaa....!"

Gu Lingqiao was quick to react, immediately bursting into tears.

The old maid comforted: "Miss, stop crying."

While crying, Gu Lingqiao said: "Nanny Ruan, should I not have come to pay respects to the Princess Consort and angered her?"

The old maid intentionally raised her voice: "Miss, you are not wrong, the only wrong thing was falling in love with the Prince, which made the Princess Consort jealous and that’s why she beat you up."

While crying, Gu Lingqiao said: "Brother Rui and I were childhood sweethearts, our feelings came before hers. What right does she have to hit me? Waa....!"

Long Yi frowned straight away upon hearing this; this Gu Lingqiao seemed like someone who stirs up trouble, specifically coming to disrupt the Prince and Princess Consort’s relationship. The Prince grew up with her and trusts her greatly; hopefully, he won’t be swayed by her words and cause any misunderstandings with the Princess Consort.

They say those who watch from the sidelines see things clearly, and how true this is.

Even Long Yi could see Gu Lingqiao’s intentions.

Yet, the main person involved, Long Rui, didn’t notice this at all.

"Lingling, what’s wrong with you? How did you end up like this?" Long Rui asked concernedly as he approached.

Gu Lingqiao seemed as if she had just seen him, suddenly threw herself into his arms, and cried loudly, saying: "Brother Rui, you’re back? Lingling almost got beaten to death."

Long Rui looked her up and down: "Lingling, it seems I heard you say that Xuexue beat you up like this, is it true?"

Gu Lingqiao shook her head and said: "No, the Princess Consort didn’t beat me, Brother Rui, you must have heard wrong."
