Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingxue did not mind using the word ‘fate’ to tie herself and Han’er together. As she was lost in her thoughts, the carriage arrived outside the princess’ residence.
The carriage jolted for a moment before coming to a sudden stop.
The sound of the horse reining in came from outside the carriage, and the carriage jolted because of the sudden stop.
With a muffled sound, Gong Lingyu’s head hit the carriage heavily with a dull thump.
Gu Qingxue jumped in shock and quickly reached out to help Gong Lingyu rub her head. “Yu’er, are you alright?”
Gong Lingyu’s forehead was red from kowtowing. She sniffed in grievance. “Sister Gu, it hurts!”
Gu Qingxue checked Gong Lingyu’s forehead where she had been hit and found a small purple mark on it. “Miao Yin, what’s the matter?”
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Miao Yin poked her head in to take a look. She saw Gong Lingyu holding her head in a pitiful manner.
Miao Yin was also distressed. She quickly bowed and apologized, “I’m very sorry, Princess, Miss Gu. The coachman did not do it on purpose. Someone suddenly came up to stop the carriage, so we had no choice but to stop.
“Who is it?” Gu Qingxue frowned in dissatisfaction.
“Big sister!” Before Miao Yin could answer, the man’s voice came.
Gu Qingxue frowned subconsciously when she heard the sound. She raised her head and looked out of the car, only to see Gu Chengbin coming up to her with a warm expression.
Gu Chengbin’s face was full of smiles, and the corners of his lips were so wide that they almost reached the back of his ears. “Big sister, I’m here to take you home.”
Gu Qingxue looked at Gu Chengbin coldly, her eyes emotionless. “His Majesty has just bestowed me with a residence, and it has not been tidied up yet. After I’ve settled everything, I’ll naturally return to my home, so you don’t have to worry about me.
Gu Chengbin was surprised at first, but he tried his best to force a dry smile. “His Majesty even bestowed eldest sister with a house?
Seeing Gu Chengbin’s fawning look, Gong Lingyu said coldly, “Of course, my father is very grateful to Sister Gu. Not only did he give you an official position and ten thousand taels of gold, but he also gave you a residence in Yongan Street.
Hearing this, Gu Chengbin was so sour that he almost became a lemon spirit.
Yongan Street?
Yongan Street was a rich street where only ministers of the third-grade and above could live. The people who could live there were either rich or noble. Every inch of land there was worth an inch of gold. Only by living there could one become a true noble.
Gu Chengbin had never dared to dream of living in Yongan Street, not to mention that this house was a gift from His Majesty!
What kind of glory was this? It was a height that Gu Chengbin would never be able to reach in his life.
Gu Chengbin was madly jealous, but he still pretended to be happy for Gu Qinpcue. “Then, congratulations, big sister! In the future, with this house, our family can also be reunited.”
It was obvious that he wanted to stay in Gu Qingxue’s house.
Gu Qingxue found it laughable.
It was true that the rich had distant relatives in the mountains. She had not even seen the house herself, but Gu Chengbin had already remembered it for her.
“Gu Chengbin, get lost before I embarrass you.” Gu Qingxue did not want to argue with Gu Chengbin.
“Big sister is really good at joking. We’re all a family, what’s there to be embarrassed about? If I embarrass myself, I’ll be embarrassing the Gu family. Big sister, we were originally from the same root, so why are you in such a hurry? If you have anything to say, why don’t we go home and talk? Mother is still waiting for us to go back,” Gu Chengbin continued to flatter her..
