He wanted to follow her for a while, but his aunt had already entered the palace, and he had to return as well. Gu Qingning nodded slightly. After she returned, she still needed to help the eldest master find an antidote; there was no time to rest. However, she had heard the man's instructions and soon forgot them.
I didn't give Gu Yan and the others such strong medicine. Remembering Pei Zhiqing's expression from earlier, Gu Qingning felt a vague suspicion rising within her and spoke up. After discovering the Seven Steps of Bewitching Potion in the room, she immediately switched to another potion and had no intention of letting Gu Yan fall into Pei Zhirui's hands; her initial target was actually the young master of the Prime Minister's residence.
"I'll do it." Pei Zhiqing replied, "You are mine."
Pei Zhiqing didn't tell Gu Qingning that he had picked up the handkerchief that Gu Yan's maid had secretly thrown away; that handkerchief belonged to her.
"Alright."
When did this man become so domineering? Gu Qingning was completely unaware. However, it didn't matter much; Pei Zhirui and Gu Yan were already betrothed, and an early consummation wasn't out of the question. It was just that the scene of their wedding night would be too stimulating and difficult to manage.
Pei Zhiqing watched as the carriage gradually disappeared from view, his expression instantly turning cold: back to the palace.
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Qingning thought about Pei Zhiqing's behavior today and felt a bit dizzy. Ever since he saved her life at the Temple of Buddha Light, this man had been advancing step by step. First, he used his life-saving grace as an excuse to propose marriage, then forcefully assigned her two shadow guards, and without hesitation helped her retrieve the pills from the old lady's hands. Today, he even gave his own second brother a potion of seduction.
Step by step, it all seemed unintentional, yet it felt as if it was all for her sake.
Gu Qingning shook her head; this reasoning definitely didn't hold water. How could it possibly be for her? Between them existed only a connection through their elders; there couldn't be any private affection.
Yet every detail of that man's actions today seemed to suggest otherwise, as if everything truly existed.
Gu Qingning furrowed her brows, realizing that despite living two lives, she still couldn't escape the allure of beauty.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Green Smoke looked at her with a mix of amusement and concern as she swayed her head.
Zhi also leaned in with a curious expression.
"Do you think the Ninth Prince is just too handsome?" Gu Qingning blurted out without thinking.
In an instant, Gu Qingning realized what was happening, and her face flushed a deep red, the color spreading like fire across her cheeks.
The future son-in-law was indeed handsome. Zhi praised him with a starry-eyed expression, then continued with a hint of concern, "But his legs aren’t very good."
"Foolish girl!" Lvyen laughed as she playfully poked Zhi's forehead. "Have you forgotten what our young lady does?"
"Don’t poke my head! If you do it again, I’ll really be foolish," Zhi replied, feigning annoyance as she shot Lvyen a glare.
Gu Qingning couldn't help but smile at the teasing from her two maids.
Zhi was right; Pei Zhijing did have trouble with his legs.
"The old lady will definitely scold us for what happened with the second miss today. What should we do?" Zhi pouted, unable to suppress her worry for Gu Qingning.
Today, Gu Yan had shamelessly engaged in inappropriate behavior with Pei Zhirui at the Qi State Manor. Meanwhile, the old lady was likely waiting for Gu Qingning to vent her frustrations.
After all, every time they encountered issues with the second branch, it never turned out well. The biased old lady loved to take her anger out on their young lady.
