Gu Qingxue nodded and followed the servant to the side to sit down. She raised her head and looked at the servant. “Where’s the Dragon Marrow Grass I wanted?”
The servant’s face was filled with an apologetic expression. He said in embarrassment, “Miss, I’m very sorry. The Dragon Marrow Grass will take a while to arrive. You can wait here for a while.’
Knowing how precious Dragon Marrow Grass was, Gu Qingxue patiently agreed to the servant’s suggestion.
At the same time, outside the VIP room on the second floor, Gu Lingyue was holding a bowl of tampered tea with a reluctant expression. She stood outside the door, hesitating.
Her mother had asked her to bring this bowl of tea over. She had already put some medicine in it that would make people lose control of themselves. After Mu Chengyao, who was in the room, took the tea, they made a deal.
Gu Lingyue’s heart felt like it had been hollowed out when she thought about how such a good man was going to be taken advantage of by Gu Qingxue. It was so empty that she felt uncomfortable.
Just as Gu Lingyue was hesitating, Mu Chengyao, who had been waiting in the room for a long time, saw the figure outside the door and hurriedly came forward to open the door. “Eldest Miss Gu, oh, it’s the Second Miss. What’s the matter?”
Mu Chengyao’s face was filled with anticipation, but when he saw Gu Lingyue, he calmed down immediately.
The huge change in Mu Chengyao’s attitude made Gu Lingyue’s heart turn cold.
She could not help but ask, “Ah Cheng, if you’re not willing to marry Gu
Qingxue, I can actually help you. You don’t have to suffer. ‘
Mu Chengyao was surprised and said hurriedly, “Suffer? I couldn’t ask for more, so why would I feel aggrieved? Is there anything else, Second Miss Gu?”
Gu Lingyue was deeply affected by Mu Chengyao’s words. She took a step forward emotionally. “Then why did you take care of me so much before?”
Mu Chengyao did not seem to understand the hint in Gu Lingyue’s words and replied matter-of-factly, “It’s naturally the care of the brother-in-law for the younger sister.”
Gu Lingyue’s face turned pale from the blow. Then, she reached out and handed the tea bowl in her hand to Mu Chengyao.”This is the tea that I have specially prepared for you. As long as you drink it, I will not pester you in the future.’
Mu Chengyao did not hesitate at all. He raised his neck and drank the tea in one gulp.
Gu Lingyue looked at Mu Chengyao in a daze. In the end, she left with tears in her eyes and did not even look back.
After Gu Lingyue left, Mu Chengyao could not help but click his tongue and reminisce about the taste of the tea just now. He vaguely felt that it was a little strange.
However, Mu Chengyao did not care. He turned around and went back to his room.
After Gu Lingyue delivered the tea, she returned to the back hall in a daze.
Madam Kou was waiting in the back hall. She was sitting in the main seat with
Nanny Zhou standing behind her. When the master and servant saw Gu Lingyue’s dazed expression, it was not difficult for them to guess what had happened between her and Mu Chengyao.
This was the effect that Madam Kou wanted. She raised the teacup in her hand and slowly took a sip. “Yue’er, you’ve done well. After this, we just have to wait for Gu Qingxue’s reputation to be ruined. Then, our relationship with the Mu family will be completely stable.”
Gu Lingyue looked at Madam Kou and raised her hand to wipe her eyes. She walked over and held Madam Kou’s hand. “Your daughter already knows of mother’s good intentions. I guarantee that in the future, I will not be influenced by love..”
