288 Why Did Princess Liuying Suddenly Become Seriously Ill?
Nanny Sheng smiled ambiguously. “Oh, this old servant is an experienced person, I know all about it! The Eldest Miss is shy, and this matter is indeed not good to spread. However, Eldest Miss, don’t worry. This old servant asked His Royal Highness today, and His Royal Highness promised to give the Eldest Miss an explanation, so you don’t have to worry!”
Gu Qingxue was on the verge of breaking down. “Nanny Sheng, why are you still asking him this?”
She was the one who had fallen asleep in the middle of the night and taken advantage of Rong Zhan.
She could have pretended to be crazy and ignorant if no one had seen this.
However, with Nanny Sheng’s question, she could no longer pretend not to know!
Moreover, even if she had to give an explanation, it would be she who would give it to Rong Zhan, not Rong Zhan!
“Eldest Miss, don’t be afraid. Although we have a child, the Royal Highness also has an illegitimate child. Eldest Miss, you don’t have to feel inferior,” Nanny Sheng patted Gu Qingxue’s hand and advised her.
Seeing Nanny Sheng’s serious expression, Gu Qingxue did not know how to explain.
She clearly realized that nanny Sheng had already determined that there must be a connection between her and Rong Zhan, so no matter how she explained, Nanny Rong would definitely not listen to her.
She could not help but raise her hand to rub the space between her eyebrows. Gu Qingxue did not continue to deny it but changed the topic, she said in a different way, “Nanny, this matter still needs to be discussed. I will discuss with His Royal Highness how to deal with it. You don’t have to worry about it, nanny.”
Nanny Sheng smiled so widely that she couldn’t close her mouth. She nodded repeatedly, “This old servant knows that miss has a sense of propriety. Miss, it’s getting late. Shall we have breakfast first?”
Gu Qingxue was about to lead the four cubs to have breakfast when she heard Big Black call out happily. Then, it wagged its tail and quickly went to the gate of the courtyard to welcome them.
Zhou Xiaohua walked in with a bright smile and said, “Brother Lin, Dumby, Lingbao, Lil’ Han, let me tell you some good news!”
Gu Lin saw that Zhou Xiaohua’s mood was written all over his face. Even without asking, he could vaguely guess what had happened. “Xiaohua, have you had your breakfast? Why don’t you stay and eat with us?”
Zhou Xiaohua did not realize Gu Lin’s hint at all. He smiled so much that his eyes turned into crescent moons. “I’m fine, I’m not hungry! Just hear me out first!”
Gu Qingxue did not know what Gu Lin was nervous about. She reached out and patted Gu Lin’s head, she patiently lectured them, “How did mother teach you before? When the people around you are talking, you must listen carefully and not interrupt others easily. Xiaohua, tell me quickly, what made you so happy?”
Zhou Xiaohua immediately answered Gu Qingxue’s question, “Aunt Gu, that princess is sick and has finally left my second grandfather’s house!”
After Gu Qingxue chased Princess Liuying away yesterday, she had not paid any attention to her movements. It was only when she heard what Zhou Xiaohua said that she furrowed her brows in puzzlement, “After the princess left yesterday, did she not leave Dafu Village?”
Nanny Sheng lowered her voice, then, she said, “This old servant heard that the princess was unwilling to leave and forcefully stayed at the village chief’s house last night. She even chased the village chief’s family out. The poor village chief’s daughter-in-law is pregnant and still has to go out and live. The villagers are not very happy about it.”
“I saw that she was full of energy yesterday and didn’t look like she was going to get sick. How could she fall ill overnight? Xiaohua, do you know what kind of illness she has?” Gu Qingxue had always been interested in complicated illnesses, she really wanted to know why Princess Liuying suddenly became seriously ill.
