The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again!

399 One-Hit Wonder

Gu Lingyue had never expected that they would one day use such a grand gesture to welcome Gu Qingxue home.

Not long ago, Gu Qingxue was still a piece of mud on the ground, despised by everyone in the Gu family. However, she had become a great contributor to the discovery and treatment of the plague so quickly. The emperor had personally ordered her to enter the palace, saying that he wanted to reward her.

“What did they mean by solving the plague by herself? Hmph, I don’t believe such nonsense.” The Fourth Young Miss of the second wife, Gu Xin’er, stood in the cold wind, holding the soup in her hands and complaining.

Gu Xin’er’s mother, Lady Jiang, frowned in dissatisfaction. She reached out and gently tugged at her daughter’s sleeve, warning her sternly, “The older you get, the more unruly you become. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Gu Xin’er was reprimanded, and her heart grew more and more dissatisfied. She simply reached out to pull Gu Lingyue, “Sister, am I wrong?”

“Fourth sister, our eldest sister has fought for the glory of our Gu family. This is the glory of all of us in the Gu family. We should be happy.” Gu Lingyue was even more disdainful than Gu Xin’er in her heart, she still had a decent smile on her face.

Gu Xin’er wanted to pull Gu Lingyue into the water, but she was choked in the end. She immediately shut her mouth obediently and fell into silence.

Madam Kou glanced at this scene from the corner of their eyes. The smile on her face had never changed from the beginning to the end.

Her gaze lightly swept over everyone present and finally fell on her only son, Gu Chengbin.

As the only male in the house, Gu Chengbin was naturally the most well-dressed. However, no matter how luxurious he was dressed, he still looked unhappy.

He reached out and gently pulled his collar, and Madam Kou said in a voice that only the mother and son could hear, “Only when someone who is neither arrogant nor impatient can succeed. She, Gu Qingxue, can make a contribution only because she has latched onto the prince regent. As long as you can work hard, you can naturally win what you want.”

Gu Chengbin, who had an impatient look on his face, forced himself to calm down after hearing this.

Meanwhile, the guests who had been waiting in the courtyard for the whole afternoon could not help but start discussing.

“Speaking of Miss Gu, she used to be ignorant and incompetent. Who would have thought that she would suddenly make a name for herself this time? She’s really amazing.”

“I heard that Gu Qingxue was able to cure the plague this time because she learned a lot from the eldest madam when she went home last time.”

“Really? Who did you hear it from?”

“Do you even need to ask? The Eldest Madam had supported the entire Gu family with her own strength. Naturally, she had some advice for her children. However, the Eldest Madam was too kind-hearted. Otherwise, why would she care so much about her daughter, Gu Qingxue, who was not her own daughter?”

Hearing these people praising Gu Qingxue, Madam Kou felt a sense of pride in her heart.

The words these people were talking about were, of course, spread by her.

At this moment, a woman’s voice, full of power and without anger, rang out, “The Eldest Madam is really selfless. She doesn’t even care so much about her own child. Instead, she called back her daughter who had been married off for a few years, and gave her some advice. It’s really amazing.”

This woman’s voice was not loud, causing everyone to look toward her.

They only saw that this woman was the wife of the Marquis Yuanping, Young Madam Qiao.
