1611: Lingyun 3

Lingyun 3

"When he saw a disfigured me, he could not help but feel disdainful. He even wanted me to move out of the mansion and live in the hostel instead. He wanted me to find the antidote whilst making other drugs."2

"…"

"For one thing, he would not get poisoned because of me. For another, I would not frighten the servants at the mansion."

"…"

"And the marriage and wedding? That was gone."

"…"

"Elder Miss, you asked me why I am related to Piaomiao Pavilion, but never knew Zhao Dier? Because apart from the servants from the mansion and his gang, no one else from Piaomiao Pavilion learned of me. So I never met them either."

"…"

"And he was trying his best to keep me away from Zhao Dier."

"…"

"I had no idea why, but now, I do."

"…"

"He had been using me, and Zhao Dier, the Elder Miss from Piaomiao Pavilion, is the one he always wanted to marry."

"…"

"I have been searching for an antidote all these years, because I want to take revenge. And I want to see him in public. I want to show him that I have no feelings for him any more."

"…"

"I felt that I was ready. That was why I asked about their presence at the banquet." Lingyun finished the story and closed her eyes slightly. She had been very heavily-hearted, but suddenly, she seemed quite relaxed.

Hearing the story… Gu Chaoyan soon understood what was going on.

She had been too stupid and naive, thus getting herself so badly injured. Now she had understood the meaning inside that, and finally realized what she should do.

She was telling her secret to her without concealing anything.

At that moment, Gu Chaoyan realized one thing - she had accepted her as her mistress.

It was not easy to get Lingyun to accept anyone as her mistress.

She was going to help her with all she could.

"I see. Try to calm yourself down, and come with me to the banquet. No one will bully you while I am around," Gu Chaoyan said seriously.

Lingyun looked at her gratefully.

In the following few days… Gu Chaoyan was working on the Golden Rolls whilst Lingyun was busy with some work behind closed doors, apart from doing the acupuncture and medical bath, sun dried herbs and all.

However, Gu Chaoyan did not ask what she was busy with.

She knew that Lingyun was aware of what she was up to.

Three days later… it was time for the banquet.

The wagon that came to pick them up at Xinlin Mansion was sent from the court, so it was large.

Gu Chaoyan still kept everything as concise as possible. She had only Sword One and Lingyun with her.

The wagon went directly past the gate and then they got out of it and started to walk.

The banquet was still taking place at Ronghua Palace.

The King was already on the throne, waiting for the guests from different schools to come. Apart from the King, people from Piaomiao Pavilion were there as well.

It was quite a large banquet.

The head of the Snow Territory had already arrived, so Piaomiao Pavilion should not be the last to arrive. Since they could not be the last to show up, they arrived first to keep up their reputation.

Elder Qianji, Wuxing and Zhao Dier were all there.

The Cangyan Door was not there yet, so Gu Chaoyan took Sword One and Lingyun and walked into Ronghua Palace.
