Chapter 137 Deterrence
A pitch-black poisonous insect flew out and drilled into the body of the teacher's daughter at an extremely fast speed. The teacher's daughter Shi Xiangxiang instantly turned into a wooden figure, unable to move at all.
"ah--"
The young ladies who usually lived a life of luxury had never seen such a scene before, and they screamed and ran away.
Seeing this, Linglong's brows furrowed even more. The screams of these young ladies were irritating her. She said unhappily, "Stop it, or else..."
The young ladies present were all very smart people, so how could they not hear the threat in Linglong's words?
Thinking of Shi Xiangxiang's fate, the young ladies present didn't dare to move, as if they were under a spell.
"I'll say this only once. The reason I came to the Great Zhou is entirely due to the cooperation between the Great Zhou court and our Southern Border. And I, the Gu King, simply disdain to bully the weak."
Linglong explained the matter clearly in a domineering manner, and then with a wave of her hand, she took back the poisonous insect in Shi Xiangxiang's body.
"I'm sorry, I thought too much." Shi Xiangxiang had never felt so aggrieved as she did now. She had to apologize to others even after being bullied.
Her heart was filled with grievance and anger, but even though she didn't know what the Gu King represented, she was shocked by Linglong's actions.
So he bit his lips tightly, his body trembling slightly, trying his best to control his emotions.
Even so, tears welled up in her eyes, yet she dared not let them fall. She looked like a small white flower swaying in the wind.
At this moment, the maid Yun Guo, who had gone back to report the news, returned. Seeing her young lady in such a state, her adrenaline surged, and she thought the time to show off had come.
She immediately protected Shi Xiangxiang behind her like a hen protecting her chicks, "You lowly people, my lady is the daughter of the governor."
At the same time, she did not forget to blame Cuiyun who was beside Shi Xiangxiang, "Sister Cuiyun, how could you just watch these two young ladies being bullied?"
Shi Xiangxiang: ...
Shi Xiangxiang was completely stunned. When she came to her senses, she kept winking at Yun Guo.
Unfortunately, Yun Guo wasn't receiving any signals at all. She pointed at Ling Long and continued to output.
"Shut up--" Shi Xiangxiang shouted these two words with almost all her strength.
She knew that if Yun Guo continued to talk nonsense, it would only make things worse. Her body trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to suppress the fear and anger in her heart.
Shi Xiangxiang has made up her mind that as long as she can return home safely this time, she will definitely expel Yunguo from the Shi family.
Yun Guo didn't know that his behavior had disgusted Shi Xiangxiang. When he heard Shi Xiangxiang's order, although he was unwilling, he shut up and stood next to Cuiyun.
At this moment, Shi Xiangxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She trembled and bowed to Linglong: "The maid is rude. Xiangxiang will punish her severely when she returns. Please..."
But before Shi Xiangxiang could finish her words, Linglong interrupted her: "What happens to the maid is your family affair. I ask that you do not disrupt the order of the 'Women's College'. Understand?"
Would Shi Xiangxiang dare to say she didn't understand? She nodded repeatedly and assured him, "I understand. I'll send the maid and the servant back right away."
After saying this, Shi Xiangxiang casually gave a few instructions to the maids and servants, then turned around and took her sister's hand and headed towards the academy gate.
Seeing that the governor's daughter had compromised, the others dared not put on airs and followed the example of the Shi sisters and went up on foot.
Linglong was speechless.
After returning, she naturally couldn't help but complain to Chu Ci.
"Hahahahaha, I didn't expect the Gu King could be used like this?" Chu Ci laughed as he pulled Linglong to examine her carefully. Finally, he came to a conclusion: "I really am a genius."
Linglong shook her head and said, "Sister Chu, do you understand? I've made the cooperation between Great Zhou and Southern Xinjiang public. Will your emperor be angry with you for this?"
Chu Ci curled his lips and said, "Don't try to be so rude. Isn't this your goal?"
Linglong blushed slightly when she heard this, and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Sister Chu. I swear, I will make it up to you in the future."
Although she felt a little sorry, there was a determination in her eyes that showed that she did not regret what she had done.
Chu Ci is also a person who responds to soft words and not to hard ones, and she is not stupid, so she will naturally not push away the benefits that come to her door.
"It's a deal then. If you have any good medicinal herbs in the future, don't forget to leave some for me."
Hearing this, Linglong's face, which always smiled, froze in surprise: "Is it that simple?"
Linglong originally thought that Chu Ci would keep this favor, but she didn't expect that she would only make such a simple request.
For a moment, Linglong was a little bit unbelievable.
Chu Ci didn't explain, but just smiled and said, "Why do you think this request is simple? You should know that I am now almost closely connected with the Women's College. Besides, my master is also a medicine fanatic."
Although Chu Ci didn't want Linglong to have any psychological burden, she was not a saint and would not let herself suffer any loss.
But it is precisely this character of not taking advantage of others nor being at a disadvantage that makes Linglong and Chuci feel extremely comfortable getting along with each other.
The little girl leaned against Chu Ci and said, "Sister Chu, you underestimate the power of my Southern Xinjiang Gu King."
"Okay, from now on, Sister Chu's medicinal herbs will depend on Linglong."
On a whim and with careful planning, the relationship between Chu Ci and Ling Long suddenly became much closer.
Looking at the Shi sisters, they have been living in fear ever since they entered the women's college.
Unfortunately, the college has strict teaching standards and will not approve leave unless there are special circumstances.
Therefore, in just ten days, the sisters felt as if they had spent ten years.
During the last class, the two of them looked out the window more frequently. When they heard the teacher say "class dismissed", they immediately ran towards the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, the Master's carriage was waiting at the foot of the mountain early.
But the cloud fruit waiting beside the carriage was too eye-catching. Shi Xiangxiang's face turned ugly: "Cuiyun, didn't I tell you not to bring the cloud fruit?"
"Ah?" Cuiyun wanted to ask when the order was given.
But seeing Shi Xiangxiang's expression, she was only slightly stunned, and then tactfully put the blame on herself. "Miss, I'm sorry, I was in such a hurry to pick you up that I forgot about this matter."
The most embarrassing one is Yun Guo.
After returning, Cuiyun told her in detail what Linglong had done. Only then did she realize that she had wanted to show off, but ended up embarrassing her own lady.
But she was just a maid, and her bond was tied to the Shi family. The most she could do was to find a connection to transfer away from Shi Xiangxiang.
Unfortunately, I failed to achieve my wish for ten consecutive days.
Moreover, early this morning, the Madam personally ordered her to come and pick up the two young ladies. Yun Guo was just a maid, so what could she do?
