Chapter 2608: Too Fierce

Oh my god, what’s happening? The steward was startled and immediately turned around and ran.

"Come back!" Long Rui shouted again.

The steward shivered all over, stopped immediately, turned around and asked, "Prince, anything else?"

Long Rui frowned and said unhappily, "Running so fast? Where do you think you’re going?"

The steward pulled a long face and said, "Didn’t you ask me to stew soup for Miss Gu? I instructed others to buy the ingredients, afraid that if we’re late, it won’t be fresh."

Only then did Long Rui calm down and said, "Hmm, go quickly, Lingling is hungry."

"Brother Rui, you’re so good to Lingling." Gu Lingqiao laughed with satisfaction, knowing that women with a pregnancy are treated differently.

Long Rui: "Lingling, from now on don’t argue with the steward. If there’s anything, tell me, and I’ll handle it for you."

Gu Lingqiao acted playful: "Brother Rui, the steward is too wicked. He bullies Lingling, not giving her good food every day."

Long Rui: "With me around, he wouldn’t dare touch you even if he had the courage of a water tank."

Gu Lingqiao giggled, "Brother, you’re so kind!"

Long Rui continued to carefully support her as they walked forward, preparing to return to Gu Lingqiao’s living quarters.

A few guards and maids followed behind.

Long Yi felt helpless, not understanding why the Prince’s attitude had shifted 180 degrees; the Prince’s moods were harder to figure out than a woman’s.

"Oh, Brother Rui, the nanny attending to Lingling is also locked up. Hurry and have her released," Gu Lingqiao suddenly remembered that the old maid was also kept in the dungeon.

Long Rui: "Don’t worry, Lingling, I’ll have her released immediately."

Gu Lingqiao: "Princess Consort Sister is too much, treating Lingling like this. Brother Rui, you must stand up for Lingling."

Long Rui: "What happened?"

Gu Lingqiao: "Lingling is pregnant now, she can’t be beaten anymore. I hope Brother Rui can talk to Princess Consort Sister and tell her not to hit Lingling again, no matter what, Lingling is carrying your baby."

Finally, with shining eyes, she looked at Long Rui and asked, "Brother Rui, do you agree with Lingling?"

Long Rui’s face darkened, he nodded, "Right, but Xuexue is not someone who is unreasonable; she wouldn’t hit people."

Gu Lingqiao pouted and asked pitifully, "Brother Rui, don’t you believe Lingling?"

Long Rui: "...!"

Gu Lingqiao continued, "Brother Rui, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the servants in the manor, whether Lingling stayed in bed for a long time to recover from her injuries a few days ago."

Long Rui glanced at the servants behind him, everyone looked at each other, afraid to make a sound. If they say it’s true, does it mean they’re helping Gu Lingqiao? They don’t really like this woman.

Long Rui said assertively, "Are you mute? I’m asking you, is Lingling telling the truth?"

Helplessly, the servant agreed, "Yes, but...!"

Before they could finish, Gu Lingqiao again pitifully said, "Brother Rui, Lingling hasn’t lied to you, right? Princess Consort Sister was too fierce, she beat Lingling so badly. Her beautiful appearance was almost ruined, and Brother Rui almost couldn’t see this adorable Lingling."

Thinking back to a few days ago, when her face was swollen like a pig’s head, hiding in her room not daring to meet people, Gu Lingqiao gritted her teeth with hate.

Although these injuries weren’t caused by Xuexue, Gu Lingqiao just hated her. Anyway, this little cheap person indeed beat her, and today she can finally take revenge.

Long Rui angrily said: "Xuexue went too far this time, Lingling don’t be sad, I’ll deal with her later to stand up for you."
