Poisonous Consort: Prince, Don’t Flirt - Chapter 193

“There’s no need to worry. Ming Yan is the young miss of Prime Minister’s Mansion, of course no one would be cruel to him.”

Gu Zhiyuan’s expression paled, but he did not dare to show it on the surface.

After receiving the bowl of soup, Gu Mingyan calmly drank a few mouthfuls without moving his chopsticks or spoon. However, when Ji Huai was about to take the bamboo shoot, he laughed lightly and said, “Didn’t you not like eating bamboo shoots?”

Ji Huai was startled at first, but quickly kept the chopsticks with a smile: “I thought it was rice straw.”

The two of them seemed to be close to each other, but when the few adults couldn’t see it, her cold gaze landed on Gu Zixi who was in the corner. She raised her hand slightly and called Shang Rong who was behind her, and said in a low voice: “This bamboo shoot is not new, tell Qiu Fu to send someone to remove it.”

Her voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear her.

Shang Rong looked at him coldly, then went to the side of the door and called Qiu Fu to take care of this matter.

However, once Boss Xia sized up Shang Rong, he even took an extra glance at Gu Mingyan: “This seems to be one of the people by His Highness’s side. A few days ago, he came to my house with Shuang Hua to deliver a congratulatory gift for my wife.”

“Shang Rong is indeed someone close to His Highness. Senior Xia, you have a good memory.”

Seems like Leader Xia really wants to win Xiao Qiran over, otherwise, how would he be able to remember a gift giver so clearly?

With the word memory heavy in his mouth, Leader Xia did not continue, but only smiled at Gu Zhiyuan: “Miss Gu’s future achievements are limitless.”

Gu Zhiyuan laughed, he did not know when this daughter of his would be able to talk to him.

But after a while, Qiu Fu came in and changed the dishes. Gu Mingyan’s gaze still landed on Gu Zixi, and smilingly picked up a piece of meat, as she was the one eating too much. Under everyone’s gazes, Gu Zixi did not directly turn hostile and eat the meat, but after a while, he left while clutching his stomach.

The Madam Liu had witnessed everything from the start. After the three rounds of drinks had passed and the two masters had left, she called Gu Mingyan to the other side of the courtyard and asked: “In front of your father, you actually dare to play tricks on him?”

“Cooperating with the aunt, the aunt doesn’t care about me, why should I look down on the aunt and let Gu Zixi go, I saw it today and was not able to make a big mistake, if the beloved Master Ji knew that Gu Zixi had tampered with the food, what then?”

Gu Mingyan said coldly, and said in a low voice: “Furthermore, right now I am not pleasing to the eye, and am following aunt’s wishes, I have already given you many ideas and suggestions, and in the future, I should properly study some things, so I request that Aunt not to disturb me, and not to look at me from the Han Courtyard, I know that I cannot win against you, so why should you be so wary of me?”

When he said till here, Gu Mingyan’s voice was filled with grievance, and he hurriedly left without waiting for Madam Liu’s reply.

From his initial docility to the present lack of respect, Madam Liu had always been uneasy in his heart when he saw this scene.

Gu Ziyan came out from behind a screen at the side, and looked at Madam Liu: “Does mother really think that she is not interested in fighting for anything?”

“If she really wants to fight for something, then she should use her relationship with the Minister of Revenue to ask for something.”

Madam Liu suddenly turned his head and glared at his own daughter, “How many troubles did you and Gu Zixi create for her in the academy? Just how many insults did your father say to me last night! If you have any doubts, you might as well try to get on good terms with His Highness first. As a girl with no power and no influence, if you are matched with a prince who cannot inherit the throne, what kind of waves can you cause? ”

Very rarely did he see Madam Liu lose his temper, even Gu Ziyan unwillingly lowered his head.

“Daughter knows she’s wrong.”

“Since you are my daughter, I will naturally take care of things for you. Gu Mingyan doesn’t need you to spend so much effort to humiliate him, once you become a phoenix on the Wutong branch, you will know how foolish you can be today!”

Madam Liu massaged his glabella with a headache, he did not really punish his own daughter.

She knew that it was already difficult for Zi Yan to know about these matters at her age, but she was the only one lacking a certain serenity. Gu Mingyan had just found a husband a little earlier, and her looks were better than hers.

“How did I get such a daughter …”

Gu Ziyan who had not left the door could already hear the muttering outside, and left with a gloomy face.

Clenching her fists, she started to hate Gu Mingyan more and more.

If not for Gu Mingyan, how would she be scolded by her mother, and how would she steal everyone’s attention away from her!

On the other hand, when Gu Mingyan returned to the Han Group Courtyard, she thought about how she would pretend to break all ties with her father, break all ties with her auntie, and show off her skills a few days ago. At this point, she should calm down, push everything to the back of her mind, and calmly prepare the antidote for herself in the future.

Having entered the Shengan till now, if she still could not escape, it would be difficult for her to leave this place in the future.

Gu Mingyan was well aware of this, yet she unconsciously brushed the red rope on her wrist with her fingertips, and then retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted — What was she still lusting for?

Her life had been stolen, so why would she need to be associated with other people in such a futile manner? She was simply lying to herself.

She suddenly raised her head and returned to her bed before finally sleeping in peace.

At night, Gu Zixi’s servant came over once to ask for the antidote, but was stopped outside the courtyard door by Shang Rong.

“Eldest Miss is sleeping. If you have anything to say, you should come back tomorrow.”

“Miss Zixi, you’re spitting up and down. It must be Eldest Miss …” The young maid still wanted to rush in, but was stopped outside the door by Shang Rong.

“Miss, if you say so, please show me evidence.” Shang Rong looked at him coldly: “If you do not have evidence, then you cannot speak nonsense. Furthermore, if you want our young miss to save him, you should show your sincerity.”

The young maid clenched her teeth and stomped away.

Shang Rong heaved a sigh of relief, as he felt that not only was the Prime Minister’s Mansion discordant, it was even disgusting.

In the morning of the next day, when the sky was still dark, Gu Mingyan had already gotten up and washed up. Before Chun Ying had woken up, he had already left his Prime Minister’s Mansion.

“Since I can’t sleep well, I might as well not sleep anymore.”

Gu Mingyan smiled lightly, then called Shang Rong to sit down and eat the wontons with him.

Shang Rong sized up the eyes of the young miss, but faintly felt that she was slightly different from yesterday’s her.

After arriving at the Academy, Gu Mingyan was just about to remove the poison from the Poison Human’s body, but he was startled by the sight of Xue Zhu falling from the tree.

“Damned girl!” “Hurry up and acknowledge me as your teacher!” Xue Zhu’s figure flashed, directly going past Shang Rong’s raised hand and grabbing her out.

Gu Mingyan glared at him, “Don’t let this drunkard be your master!”

“Last time, I taught you how to draw mechanical diagrams. Why are you so unfriendly today?” Xue Zhu gasped, he grabbed Gu Mingyan and dodged Shang Rong’s hand, then threw the empty wine jar into Shang Rong’s embrace.

“Unless you are half as good-looking as Mr. Xu Chang …” Gu Mingyan opened up a lot with two fingers.

“Damned girl!” Xue Zhu was extremely angry.
