158 On the Order of the Old Prince, I Will Bring You to the Shouan Courtyard to Pay Respects
Gu Qingxue raised her eyebrows and said lightly, “I will consider it.”
After saying that, Gu Qingxue left the private room first.
Imperial Duke Zhan was left standing there with a stunned look on his face.
Gu Qingxue actually said that she would consider it?
This was the first time that he had taken the initiative to make such a request. If it was someone else who was present today, they would definitely agree to it immediately and gratefully.
However, Imperial Duke Zhan thought that if Gu Qingxue was that kind of person, he would not have made such a request. Therefore, he did not feel angry even though he had been rejected.
Imperial Duke Zhan smiled and left together with Gu Qingxue.
A moment later, Imperial Duke Zhan followed Gu Qingxue to the imperial duke’s manor.
In the hall, Madam Qiao was so happy that she could not close her mouth when she saw her husband leading Gu Qingxue into the house. “Xue’er, you’re finally here.”
Qiu Yan saw that Madam Qiao was interested in Gu Qingxue, so she hurriedly said on behalf of her master, “Miss Gu, the Madam has been missing you. She’s been waiting for you since early in the morning.”
“Why are you saying all this? I like Xue’er. There’s no harm in waiting for her a little longer.” As Madam Qiao spoke, she looked at Imperial Duke Zhan expectantly.
Imperial Duke Zhan had a helpless look on his face as he shook his head quietly.
The disappointment in Madam Qiao’s eyes disappeared for a brief moment before quickly returning to her enthusiasm. “It’s very cold outside, isn’t it? Come, drink some tea to warm your body before starting the treatment.”
“Thank you, Madam.” Gu Qingxue nodded and followed Madam Qiao.
Madam Qiao and Imperial Duke Zhan had a tacit understanding. They did not mention the matter of Gu Qingxue being their adopted daughter again.
After a cup of tea, Gu Qingxue helped Madam Qiao straighten her bones and heal her injuries. After she had done everything, she let Madam Qiao take a nap and left the imperial duke’s manor in a hurry, rushing towards the prince regent’s manor.
Madam Qiao’s room was lit up with a calming fragrance. This time, she opened her eyes after taking a nap for less than an hour.
Imperial Duke Zhan had been patiently guarding Madam Qiao’s side. When he saw that she had opened her eyes, he raised his hand to stroke her soft long hair. “Why are you awake? You can sleep a little longer.”
“I have something on my mind and can’t sleep. What did you say to Miss Gu? Why is she still unwilling?” Madam Qiao asked Imperial Duke Zhan with a frown.
Imperial Duke Zhan said innocently, “You can’t blame me for this. I’ve already apologized and said that I also hope to take her in as my adopted daughter. She said that she still needs to think about it.”
“It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t suspected Xue’er yesterday, Xue’er would have long been my daughter.” Madam Qiao became angrier the more she spoke. “You keep thinking that she wants to cling to our family, but Xue’er isn’t that kind of person.”
Imperial Duke Zhan reached out and patted Madam Qiao’s shoulder, he was also very regretful. “My wife is right, I’ve judged her unfairly. However, it’s because that Miss Gu is like this that you and I like her so much. Only when we let her see our determination will she choose us. We can’t be hasty.”
Madam Qiao was anxious, but she had no better way. She could only nod her head and silently agree with Imperial Duke Zhan.
Gu Qingxue also rushed to the regent prince’s manor.
However, Gu Qingxue had just arrived at the mansion. Before she could go to the Bitang Residence, she was blocked by Qu Lianyu.
On the long corridor, Qu Lianyu suddenly came over with a group of maidservants. She looked at Gu Qingxue with disdain and stood in front of her. “Miss Gu, I have received the order of the old prince to bring you to the Shouan Courtyard to pay respects.”
