"Gu Lang, have you really forgotten me? But I have never forgotten you for a single moment."
Lan Lingjing burst into tears; this time, she was truly crying out of anxiety.
Gu Fei looked troubled. "Miss Lan, it's impossible for me to marry into your Miao family, and it's impossible for you to marry into my Gu family. We don't have any deep feelings for each other, so let's part ways here."
Lan Lingjing was extremely unwilling. She cried and pleaded, "Gu Lang, I don't want to be separated from Xiao Nian. I have already informed the wizard about my trip, and he has granted us permission to settle in different places."
This time, Lan Lingjing dared not play coy again and directly stated her bottom line.
But Gu Fei still wouldn't listen. He didn't want to go to Miao territory again, nor did he want to provoke this Miao holy maiden.
"Miss Lan, please don't make things difficult for me. It's impossible for me to take you as a concubine."
Lan Lingjing was speechless for a moment. She had never thought about being a concubine, had she? And she could never be a concubine.
But Gu Fei is not easy to deal with right now; he is completely different from the person he was three years ago.
Gu Fei wanted to take the child away, which Lan Lingjing naturally refused to do, as this was her only bargaining chip. The two were deadlocked, and in the end, Gu Fei stormed off.
Having no other option, Lan Lingjing returned to the inn to plan her next move.
When Gu Fei returned home, his heart was unusually stirred. For the past three years, he had been very calm, and nothing in this world could make his emotions fluctuate.
He didn't know that his restlessness was due to the love potion having awakened and causing unease in his mind.
Considering Lan Lingjing's identity, Gu Fei figured she probably wouldn't stay in the capital for long, so he felt relieved and things would return to normal once she left.
But this time he guessed wrong. Lan Lingjing came for him, so how could she leave like this?
Lan Lingjing circled around the gate of the Prince's Mansion, and finally her opportunity came.
Xiao Li took Gu Qingpei to the estate for a visit, and there they saw Lan Lingjing holding a child.
"Feng Xiaoli, I have something to tell you."
Xiao Li sat in the car and ignored her completely. If she was so capable, she should go and deal with Gu Fei. Why was she coming to find her?
Seeing that their master ignored them, the guards went forward and chased the two away, not wanting to delay their master's trip.
Lan Lingjing watched the departing carriage with a burning hatred in her teeth; that should have been her seat.
Since this approach was not working, Lan Lingjing turned her attention to the old princess.
Soon, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the old princess was going to Leling Mountain to worship Buddha, and Lan Lingjing went with her.
In the back courtyard, she finally met the old princess. When she appeared with her child, Gu Sinian, the old princess immediately noticed the problem.
"Is this my son Gu Fei's child?"
Lan Lingjing was a little excited. She had heard that Han people valued offspring the most, and Gu Lang only had one legitimate son. This child should allow her to smoothly enter the Gu family.
"Yes, he is Gu Lang's child."
The old princess saw through Lan Lingjing's ambition at a glance. She took the child's hand and looked into the child's pure eyes.
"Alright, you can leave the child here and go."
Lan Lingjing looked at the old princess in astonishment, unable to believe it. Were all members of the Gu family so heartless?
Gu Lang was going to give him some gold and silver, but this old woman just told him to get lost.
Lan Lingjing was furious. She flung her hand, and an ice-blue object shot towards the old princess.
"Madam!"
Rong, the old nanny beside her, cried out in surprise and rushed over to protect the old princess without hesitation.
“Arong…”
The old princess was horrified to see her nanny, who had been with her for many years, collapse.
"You! How dare you plot against someone from my Kang Le Prince's Mansion! Guards, seize him!"
Soon, several guards came over and surrounded Lan Lingjing.
"Madam, this ice silkworm is highly poisonous. Are you sure you want to arrest me instead of saving her?"
The old princess stared at Lan Lingjing, then looked at the pained Rong Mama.
"Tell me your conditions."
Lan Lingjing smiled smugly, "It's very simple, divorce Feng Shi and make me a princess."
"You're dreaming! The princess has reported this to the royal family; divorce is impossible."
The old princess cursed Gu Fei in her heart again and again. Over the years, she had come to realize that he was a cold-hearted person by nature, and she would have to rely on the Feng family for the rest of her life.
Now she's caused her so much trouble. If she's so capable of causing trouble, she should solve it herself.
