Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Long Rui grabbed her hand: "My dear, don’t leave, stay here with me."

Xuexue deliberately said: "Your childhood sweetheart is here, where is there room for me?"

Long Rui felt very aggrieved: "My dear, you’re teasing me. You know she’s a fake, yet you say that. Besides, when she comes in later, I have to pretend to be sick. What if she tries to harm me again?"

Remembering Gu Lingqiao’s deceptive behavior yesterday, Xuexue nodded: "Alright, that Gu Lingqiao is quite cunning, her words can twist the truth."

Yesterday, Xuexue clearly took care of Long Rui, and Gu Lingqiao was frightened by the scar on Long Rui’s face and fell to the ground. However, after Long Rui woke up, Gu Lingqiao seemed to have changed completely, immediately flattering and taking credit for taking care of Long Rui.

Xuexue didn’t care much about these things, but being used as a stepping stone made her very unhappy.

Long Rui stroked her head and said softly: "My dear was wronged. Although I was unconscious yesterday, my mind was clear. I heard everything about you two, that Gu Lingqiao is indeed cunning. It seems she was sent by Lin Kong to create trouble."

Xuexue nodded: "Prince, be careful in everything."

Long Rui: "I understand."

They say that suffering leads to wisdom. Having just suffered a loss, he wouldn’t forget so quickly, and he holds grudges, this Gu Lingqiao...

Thinking of this, Long Rui squinted his eyes. Now the situation is getting clearer, this woman is from Wei Country and is in cahoots with Lin Kong. What does Wei Country’s series of actions signify? It shows their ambitious intentions and they are ready to move. It seems, Moli Country’s peaceful days won’t last long.

Outside the bedroom.

"Brother Rui, Brother Rui, these dog servants are bullying Lingling, hurry out and teach them a lesson." Gu Lingqiao was stopped by guards at the door, jumping and cursing continuously.

"So noisy, so noisy." Xiao Jiu flew in from who knows where, perched on the eaves, and chirped at Gu Lingqiao: "Ugly monster, why are you making a racket here so early! Ugly people cause more trouble, aren’t you afraid of people laughing at you? If I were you, I’d hide indoors and wouldn’t dare come out."

Xiao Jiu said this and cackled loudly.

At first, Gu Lingqiao found this little bird quite curious and liked it, but after being mocked by Xiao Jiu several times, she hated it to the core.

Immediately, she raised her head, put her hands on her hips, and scolded Xiao Jiu: "A mere animal, why are you meddling? Besides, I, Miss, am beautiful as a flower, known as a beauty in my hometown, many young men seek me, but I disdain them. What do you know about beauty, you infuriate me, how dare you call me ugly."

The angry Gu Lingqiao, in a fit of rage, forgot her identity as a Miss of the Wealthy Family, whose actions should be dignified and elegant, not like a shrew scolding in the street as she was.

The guards cast strange glances her way.

The old maid subtly pulled her dress from behind, and whispered: "Miss, restrain yourself, be mindful of your image."

A young lady values appearance above all. Now insulted, Gu Lingqiao couldn’t tolerate it: "Nanny, don’t pull me, today I’m determined to kill this little bird."

Xiao Jiu laughed sharply: "With just you, think you can kill me? Did you ask my master for permission?"

Indeed, as the saying goes, one must look at the owner before hitting the dog. Xiao Jiu’s master is the Princess Consort of War Prince. As an outsider and intruder, she should keep her head down rather than call for violence against its owner’s pet.
