Chapter 1308 - 1308 To Border

1308 To Border

Gu Ruxue finally woke up slowly. She looked very pale. She did not have a peaceful sleep and she was hurting all over. She threw her temper at many maids before she finally felt better. She got dressed and walked out slowly.

Mrs. Gu was smiling brightly.

She was seated in the room for a while and seeing how the maids treated them and how late Ruxue was after sleeping for so long, she understood that her daughter was in a high position in the mansion.

Ruxue was indeed playing a very important part now!

When Ruxue was doing well, the whole Gu Family would do well too.

Also…

If she could sleep to this hour, it must mean that she was pregnant. And as she thought about how the Crown Prince sent his men to bring her to this place, she found that more and more likely. After all, the Crown Prince’s mother was living in the court and she could not take care of her, so she was the only person that could be reached.

Mrs. Gu had a very mysterious look on her face as she pulled Gu Ruxue down to her and asked with a small voice, “Ruxue, be honest with me, are you pregnant?”

“Not yet. I wish I were, but I am not! The Crown Prince locks me in the room and comes to me whenever he has time. I have been tormented these past two days so I would be relieved if I was pregnant!” Gu Ruxue said angrily. She felt so frightened as she thought of the Crown Prince’s face.

Mrs. Gu understood clearly what Gu Ruxue was talking about, but she did not think that it was a serious matter.

The Crown Prince did that because he cared about Ruxue and hoped that she could get pregnant soon. That was something all married women wanted to have.

Mrs. Gu said indifferently, “That is a good thing. The Crown Prince needs to work hard with you so that you can get pregnant soon.”

“…”

“When you are pregnant, our position will be totally settled. Our family will have a steady life in the future!”

“But…”Gu Ruxue wanted to get pregnant soon, but the way to that goal was too painful.

Before she was able to say anything, Mrs. Gu said straightforwardly, “You have been spoiled by the Crown Prince, thus being dissatisfied by all kinds of things. No woman in the world is enjoying an equally happy life as you are. Look at what the Crown Prince has done for you – he has everything arranged, and you needn’t worry about a thing!”

Gu Ruxue thought for a while and found that was reasonable, but she somehow felt that something was wrong. She felt very distressed.

Her mother would not hurt her. Gu Ruxue believed that so she no longer countered, but she had a faint idea that something wasn’t right.

At Xinlin Mansion.

Zhou Huaijin spent the whole night getting everything ready. Then he hurried to Xinlin Mansion.

Chaoyan had no idea about him being dispatched to the border, and Zhou Huaijin had been pondering over how to tell her about this. It was not a steady situation at the border. Everyone was clear about this.

When he reached Xinlin Mansion, Gu Chaoyan was in the middle of tea drinking and eating snacks.

Seeing Zhou Huaijin coming to her, she said in a good mood. “Hey, there you are, try the pastry from the South. Xiao Jin brought them, they were very tasty.”

Zhou Huaijin glanced at the pastry, which looked really delicate and it was indeed a South style.

“Chaoyan, I have to go to the border.”
