Chapter 2604: Putting on a Show

Gu Lingqiao raised her chin high and said smugly, "A mother’s child elevates her status, there’s nothing to be done, what with me carrying the Prince’s child, hahahaha...!"

At the end of her words, Gu Lingqiao laughed proudly, her voice very shrill.

In the hall, apart from her maid and old maid, everyone frowned.

This woman is shameless enough to be pregnant with someone else’s child before even marrying, and she says it brazenly.

Xuexue’s whole body froze, her face instantly turned very unsightly: "What did you say? Say it again."

"What’s wrong? Lingling is pregnant, and the Princess Consort Sister can’t handle the shock?" Gu Lingqiao covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled, her laughter extremely obnoxious.

Finally, Gu Lingqiao continued: "No wonder, the Princess Consort Sister has been married to the Prince for so long, and there’s no reaction from her belly. Hearing that her younger sister is pregnant, jealousy is inevitable. Women from large families preserve their status through offspring. If the Princess Consort Sister has no offspring, I’m afraid in the future...! Hahaha...."

Gu Lingqiao stopped as she said this, the meaning of her words was understood by all even without being spoken.

The steward’s face became very ugly: "Miss Gu, don’t forget your status, you’re just a guest, what right do you have to speak to our Princess Consort like this?"

Gu Lingqiao: "Hahaha...! What Princess Consort, if I give birth to the child in my belly, Brother Rui might make me the Princess Consort!"

Xuexue said icily, "Steward, Miss Gu has gone mad, isolate her so she doesn’t infect others."

The steward was first stunned, then his face lit up with joy, and he said loudly, "Yes, Princess Consort, this servant will obey!"

Finally, the steward excitedly said to the guards waiting by the side, "Why are you still standing there? Didn’t you hear the Princess Consort say that Miss Gu has gone mad and could infect others? Quickly lock her back in her room and isolate everyone, including her servants."

Gu Lingqiao was dumbfounded, she didn’t expect Xuexue to play this card. By the time she reacted, she was already being grabbed on both sides by two guards, like an eagle catching a chick, being carried outside.

"Hey hey hey! What are you doing? Let me tell you, I’m carrying the Prince’s child in my belly, if you hurt me, not even dying a hundred times would be enough!" Gu Lingqiao yelled defiantly as she was carried by the guards.

Guard, "Miss Gu, I advise you not to make futile struggles, just go back to your room obediently."

"Nanny, Nanny, save me!" Gu Lingqiao continued to scream like a pig being slaughtered.

The steward shook his head, with her character, she dreams of marrying the Prince, better to give up on that thought sooner!

The old maid nearby saw Gu Lingqiao’s outcome, and although very pleased, on the surface she was a servant who needed to protect her master.

Then, she suddenly knelt in front of Xuexue: "Princess Consort, this servant begs you, spare my young lady!"

This old woman really knows how to act, apparently loyal to Gu Lingqiao, yet secretly beat her into a pig-headed state; Gu Lingqiao had to take half a month to recover from the facial injuries.

Xuexue expressed admiration for this old maid, knowing how to hide well, striking a heavy blow at crucial moments, Gu Lingqiao still didn’t know it was her doing.

So, don’t offend your nearby servants, or you won’t know how you die.

Gu Lingqiao is just a living example.

Xuexue said with a half-smile, "Nanny, Miss Gu is just gone to recuperate, why are you worried?"
