Seeing her like this, Gu Linchao found it hard to utter the reprimand he had prepared.
After all, she was so good at admitting her mistake, and she only went astray because she sympathized with Atuo Jianghua.
In addition, she didn't actually do anything offensive.
"Since you know you were wrong, let's let it go this time, but don't do it again next time."
"Your Majesty, I understand." Wen Nongnong was secretly pleased. Sure enough, it was the right thing for her to take the initiative to admit her mistake first. If Gu Linchao had asked about it himself, the situation might have been different.
However, just as she finished being happy, Gu Linchao asked again, "Also, do you have anything to say about what you did in the palace yesterday?"
Wen Nong Nong's heart sank. Could it be that Gu Linchao found out about the trick she played on Wen Ruyi in the palace yesterday?
Thinking about it, she shook her head blankly, "What does Your Highness want me to say?"
Gu Linchao's gaze fell on her left cheek.
The red mark is no longer visible today.
but--
"Wen Nong Nong, are you still trying to hide this from me?" His voice was slightly deep, and his dark eyes swept over her.
Wen Nongnong sensed his anger, her heart skipped a beat, she bit her lip, and said, "I haven't been hiding anything from you."
Seeing that she still wouldn't tell the truth even at this point, Gu Linchao's brows furrowed with anger.
"I know you and Wen Ruyi don't get along, but why did you make up such things?"
"What kind of language?" Wen Nongnong was stunned.
"I won't interfere with how you deal with Wen Ruyi, but you can't damage my reputation," Gu Linchao warned, pausing before adding, "The kind of things you've said make me... very uncomfortable."
Wen Nongnong finally understood.
So he meant...
She felt inexplicably happy.
To him, being liked by Wen Ruyi was something that would damage his reputation and make him very uncomfortable.
If Wen Ruyi heard these words, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood on the spot.
It's a pity, Wen Ruyi should have heard it with her own ears.
"I understand, and I will not speak carelessly again." After saying that, she quickly lowered her head, afraid that he would see the corners of her lips pouting.
Gu Linchao glanced at her, and was about to step inside when he remembered something and said, "You are my lawfully wedded wife. As long as you don't make any mistakes, I will never divorce you, and no one can take your place." He paused, then added, "I am not a swan either."
Having said that, he didn't linger and strode into the Prince's mansion.
Wen Nongnong stood there, stunned.
Was Gu Linchao's statement a response to the things she had fabricated in front of Empress Dowager Guo yesterday?
She blinked and blurted out, "Then I'm not a toad either...?"
Gu Linchao, who hadn't gone far, paused upon hearing this and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
This woman...
He shook his head and walked towards the study.
Wen Nongnong regretted it as soon as she blurted it out.
She's stupid. When Gu Linchao said he wasn't swan meat, he was basically telling her she wasn't a toad.
But she insisted on emphasizing it again.
She herself was finding it hard to face herself.
She rubbed her forehead.
But thinking of what Gu Linchao said, she felt a strange sweetness in her heart.
He said that no one could replace her.
Does that mean that as long as he doesn't fall, she can be the regent's wife for life, living a life of glory?
Gu Linchao is really a very good person.
Thinking about it this way, she felt she should care about him more.
He doesn't look well today; hopefully he's not sick.
