Chapter 2579: Accompanying a Smiling Face

What ghost? This woman is crazy trying to get the Prince's attention, right?

No matter what the steward says.

Gu Lingqiao still insists that there really is a ghost in the War Prince's Mansion.

The steward and the Guardian Division are extremely angry.

The Old Maid quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Steward, you are so magnanimous, don't stoop to the young lady's level. She must have had a nightmare, mistaking it for reality, and thus disturbed everyone."

Gu Lingqiao was unhappy upon hearing this: "Nanny, what nonsense are you talking about? It wasn't a dream, I really saw it."

"You're still talking!"

The Old Maid was angry, trying to give her a way out, but Gu Lingqiao does not know what's good for her and even accuses her of nonsense. Who is really spouting nonsense?

Gu Lingqiao: "There really is a ghost."

The Old Maid finally couldn't take it anymore, and struck her Acupoints, causing Gu Lingqiao to immediately faint.

The Old Maid turned to the steward with a flattering smile and said, "My lady disturbed everyone, I'm sorry."

At the moment the Old Maid hit the Acupoints, the steward's eyes flickered. With such good skills, she's willing to be a servant, it seems this Old Maid is no ordinary person. It's time to have the Prince investigate her background.

The steward pretended to be concerned and asked, "What's wrong with Miss Gu? Is she alright? Should I call a doctor to examine her?"

See a doctor? A joke, Gu Lingqiao is pregnant, and now is not the time to make it public.

The Old Maid quickly said, "No need, no need, the young lady is just tired, she'll be fine after resting for a while."

The steward knew that Gu Lingqiao had only been hit on the Acupoints by the Old Maid, so he said, "Alright, don't let her cause noise, everyone has things to do tomorrow!"

"Sure! Sorry for disturbing everyone!" The Old Maid bowed with a smiling face.

The steward led the servants away; it's already midnight, it's time to sleep again, there's still a lot to do tomorrow.

As the door closed, the Old Maid's smile fell, she turned around and glared fiercely at the unconscious Gu Lingqiao on the bed.

She quickly stepped forward and gave Gu Lingqiao two hard slaps, scolding, "Stupid woman, showing off all day and daring to order me around, I could strangle you as easily as killing an ant."

Then she climbed onto the bed to beat and kick her until she was exhausted, then lay down to rest.

The next day.

When Gu Lingqiao woke up, she felt her whole body aching, she struggled to sit up, looked around, the room was empty, she couldn't help but call out loudly: "Nanny, Nanny."

"Oh! Miss, you're awake?" The Old Maid walked in from outside, carrying washing utensils.

"Oh, why does my whole body hurt so much?" Gu Lingqiao reached out to rub her body, feeling that moving was worse, pain causing her to break out in a cold sweat.

"Miss, did you get ghost-pressed while sleeping last night?" The Old Maid asked mysteriously.

With the maid's reminder, Gu Lingqiao remembered the little ghost girl from last night, immediately shivering, perhaps these injuries on her body were caused by that little ghost girl.

"Nanny, I'm scared, we should quickly leave the War Prince's Mansion."

"How can that be? We haven't completed the tasks the Master instructed!"

"How long will that take?"

"Depends on you, when you win over the War Prince, that's when we leave the War Prince's Mansion."

"But I'm scared...!"

The ghost from last night was terrifying, recalling it made Gu Lingqiao shiver all over.

"What are you afraid of? You have a maid accompanying you, don't you?"
