Chapter 116: Kill the spirit?
Chu Qianlan frowned.
"You don't even know this. What if you offend someone like me?"
Gu Jingchun chuckled.
"So that's how it is. After hearing what mother just said, I thought the Third Prince's Consort had a higher status than the Empress Dowager.
Otherwise, why, I have served the Queen Mother in the palace for many days without making any mistakes, but why did I have to go to see the Third Prince's wife, which made my mother so worried about me? "
Upon hearing this, Chu Qianlan's face turned pale and blue, looking extremely ugly.
Knowing that she had been fooled by Gu Jingchun, she put on a cold face and said nothing more, and directly let Gu Jingchun go.
However, Gu Weiang kept looking at Gu Jingchun, as if he was thinking about something, which was hard to understand.
After Gu Jingchun came out of the main hall, he was taken directly to Gu Yunjin's yard by his maid.
As soon as she reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw eight maids guarding outside.
There are soldiers guarding the outside, which looks very imposing and intimidating.
But Gu Jingchun knew that all this was just a bluff.
As Gu Jingchun stepped forward, he was stopped by two maids.
"Who are you?"
Gu Jingchun stopped, and Lan Xin took the lead in explaining:
"Our young lady is the eldest daughter of the mansion. Upon hearing that the Third Prince's wife has returned home, she came specially to pay her respects."
Hearing this, the maid guarding the gate rolled her eyes.
"The Third Prince's wife is resting and cannot see guests."
After saying that, he muttered softly again.
"So it's that country bumpkin who has never seen the world, and yet he's dreaming of meeting the Third Prince's wife?"
Seeing her arrogant look, Lan Xin felt dissatisfied and was about to go up and argue with her.
At the critical moment, Gu Jingchun stopped her.
She remembered that this maidservant was one of the maids in the Third Prince's courtyard. She was the one who flattered the weak and looked down on the powerful. In her previous life, Gu Jingchun had also suffered at her hands.
So, now, Gu Jingchun glanced at her and said:
"In that case, we will go back first. When the Third Prince's wife wakes up, please tell her that we have been here."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
Now, the maid was a little confused.
They had received instructions from Gu Yunjin and were deliberately making things difficult for Gu Jingchun. They were going to make her stand here for an hour to dampen her spirit and give her a warning.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jingchun did not play by the rules. He turned around and left without even waiting.
Seeing this, the maid could only call Gu Jingchun to stop.
"Stop!"
The maid shouted.
"Did I let you go?"
"The Third Prince's wife is just resting now and will wake up soon. You just stand here and wait for a while. When she wakes up, she will let you in."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun's gaze fell on the maid and looked her up and down.
The extremely oppressive look made the maid subconsciously take a step back, and cold sweat instantly broke out.
This made her look at Gu Jingchun again.
She couldn't understand why Gu Jingchun, who was obviously a widow from the countryside, had such a powerful look in her eyes that made her unable to resist at all. Her legs almost gave way and she knelt down.
Despite this, Gu Jingchun's voice was gentle.
"Since the Third Prince's wife is resting, I won't wait any longer. There's nothing else to do anyway."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, he continued to turn around. Seeing this, the maid was afraid that Gu Jingchun had really left, so she gritted her teeth and went forward to catch up with Gu Jingchun.
"Miss..."
She leaned forward slightly, her face showing a bit more respect.
"The Third Prince's wife has woken up. Please come over now."
Gu Jingchun paused, a look of confusion on his face.
"Didn't they say that the Third Prince's wife is resting?"
"You came at the right time. I just woke up now and am waiting for you to come over."
Gu Jingchun smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Okay, now that you're awake, I'll go check it out."
Upon hearing this, the maid nodded quickly.
"Miss, please."
As she spoke, she opened the gate and respectfully escorted Gu Jingchun in.
At this time, Gu Yunjin was being served ginseng soup. When he saw Gu Jingchun actually lift the curtain and walk in, he immediately frowned.
Didn't I tell her to let Gu Jingchun stand outside for two hours before letting her in?
Why did you let her in so quickly?
These servants are really useless.
Gu Yunjin drank the ginseng soup in his hand and placed it on the tray with a "pa".
Seeing this, the servants immediately took it away and handed a handkerchief to Gu Yunjin to wipe her mouth.
After completing all these actions, Gu Yunjin looked at Gu Jingchun indifferently.
"I heard that my sister was away for a while. Did she go to the palace to copy Buddhist scriptures for the Empress Dowager?"
"Sister is truly blessed. After escaping death, she was still able to catch the Queen Mother's eye. It must not be because of some other low-class means."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun smiled and couldn't help but look at Gu Yunjin again.
I wonder if she knows some news.
But then I thought of Shen Hechuan’s previous explanation.
At that time, when he brought her into the palace, although he did not keep the whole process secret, but based on Chen Hechuan's ability, it would not be to the extent that everyone would know about it.
What's more, Shen Hechuan later cleaned out the East Palace thoroughly to ensure that there were no other spies inside.
Therefore, it was impossible for Gu Yunjin, an unfavored princess consort who had just married into the royal family, to know the inside story.
So, she said these words just to test him deliberately.
Thinking of this, Gu Jingchun chuckled lightly: "The Third Prince's wife is worrying too much. As a woman, my words are not taken seriously and I don't have the ability to play any tricks in the palace.
However, looking at the Third Prince's wife's aura, she must have suffered some... grievances!"
Gu Jingchun deliberately prolonged his tone to make his words sound more profound.
Especially the last two words, which made Gu Yunjin's expression change drastically.
"How outrageous!"
Gu Yunjin shouted angrily.
"Gu Jingchun, you are so bold as to disrespect me. Do you think I am still the same person as before?"
"I am now the Third Prince's consort!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Jingchun and shouted:
"Someone, slap him..."
However, just as she finished speaking, she saw Gu Jingchun smile slightly and said another sentence.
"Slap?"
"Third Prince Consort, does your arm no longer hurt?"
Hearing this, Gu Yunjin paused and looked at Gu Jingchun in surprise.
When Gu Jingchun looked at Gu Yunjin's expression, he knew that he had guessed right.
Thinking back to her previous life, on her wedding night, the Third Prince beat her severely because she didn't understand romantic matters.
Later, there was a governess to teach the third prince.
However, his intelligence is limited and he is unable to act normally.
In the end, Gu Jingchun was forced by several well-educated women to take action.
Almost an insult.
But despite this, the third prince was too excited and beat her up.
Violent and cruel!
Almost crazy!
