Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You may not have any intention, but the prince regent has never been close to women, so he would not bring you to live in his residence for no reason. Xue’er, you don’t interact with the people of Jing City much, so you might not know, but there are many people discussing the matter between you and His
Royal Highness.” Madam Qiao took this opportunity and continued to remind Gu Qingxue, “If you also have feelings for His Royal Highness, it’s best to exchange feelings with him as soon as possible. If you don’t, quickly reject His Royal Highness.”
Gu Qingxue was a little depressed. “Godmother, I think you’re just thinking too much… Besides, if His Royal Highness doesn’t mention this matter, how can I refuse him?”
Rong Zhan had never expressed his love for her, and even if she wanted to reject him, she had no way of doing so. She could not reject him directly, as that would be too presumptuous.
When she saw Gu Qingxue’s ears turn red when she mentioned Rong Zhan, Madam Qiao, who had experienced it, instantly understood.
Imperial Duke Zhan also understood Gu Qingxue’s thoughts. He could not hold himself back at this time. He wanted to go to the prince regent’s residence immediately and beat up Rong Zhan, who had ‘kidnapped’ her precious daughter, to vent his anger!
He did not care about the hierarchy. Even if the emperor came and dared to snatch his daughter away, he would be angry!
It was not until Madam Qiao’s sharp gaze swept over that Imperial Duke Zhan, who was originally ready to move, obediently lowered his head. Even if he had more dissatisfaction in his heart, he did not dare to show it.
“Xueer, no matter what you choose, we will support your choice. I hope you can promise me that you won’t go against your own thoughts for any other reason. As long as you’re happy, it doesn’t matter what other people say.” Madam Qiao looked at Gu Qingxue tenderly, her every word filled with concern for her.
Madam Qiao’s words made Gu Qingxue’s heart warm up. “Thank you,
Godmother. I understand.”
Madam Qiao smiled but did not say anything. In her opinion, Gu Qingxue’s hesitation was enough to explain everything. She knew her goddaughter very well. Xue’er was very decisive when it came to relationships. For example, the ninth prince of Moyun Kingdom proposed to her in public. If it were an ordinary woman, she would probably be overjoyed with such a good marriage.
However, her Xue’er was unwilling. No matter how good the ninth prince of
Moyun Kingdom was, he was useless if she did not like him. This was why Xue’er was able to reject the ninth prince so decisively and without any regard for his feelings.
Xue’er’s decisiveness, when it came to the prince regent, immediately turned into hesitation. It could be seen that her Xue’er was not as uncaring as she said.
Looking at Gu Qingxue, who was trapped by love, Madam Qiao was reluctant to part with her, but she was more gratified.
Finally, someone had the foresight to discover the good in her Xue’er. Moreover, other than being a little cold, the prince regent was very concerned about Xue’er’s matters and was a good son-in-law.
The three little ones could not see the hidden feelings in their mother’s heart, especially Lingbao. She only thought about how her mother did not like Uncle Nine and felt worried.
What to do! If her mother did not like Uncle Nine or Uncle Fairy, then who should she find to be her stepfather?
Zhan Liuye then changed the topic. The family laughed and chatted as they ate.
Gu Qingxue brought her little ones to play for a long time in Imperial Duke Zhan’s manor. It was only at dawn that she finally sat in the carriage and planned to leave Imperial Duke Zhan’s residence..
