He never thought that Duan Chengyu would actually say such a thing.
Gu Danyan had ordered the ghost to drive the carriage to the mansion, while at the same time, he had to separate the two drunkards. He comforted Litchi quietly: "He was just talking drunk, so you don't have to worry."
Litchi Bay was stunned for a moment. She quickly turned her head to look at Gu Danyan.
Gu Liuyan was trying to straighten the two of them, but she was afraid that they would kowtow. She took out two soft pillows from her bag and propped them up, going into detail.
At this moment, Litchi didn't know what to say.
Gu Danyan was different from her. Duan Chengyu always liked to be together with Gu Danyan, and he also liked to chat with her.
From the looks of it, Gu Liuyan knew how to take care of people wherever she went, and she would only make Duan Chengyu unhappy.
"Don't mind it too much. The Fourth Prince is still young, and his words are filled with anger. They definitely only have the guts to drink in these beautiful streets and alleys. They don't dare to mess around." Gu Mingyan saw that she didn't say anything, so he only patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Litchi Bay slightly nodded and didn't say anything.
Gu Liuyan didn't know how to comfort Ye Xiao like this, so he could only stay silent.
Arriving at the manor, one of the servants escorted Duan Chengyu to his room. She did not stay for long, and instead brought Qi Lin back to the medicine house to be looked after by ghosts. When she returned to her senses, it was already late.
Gu Danyan rubbed his forehead and lit the candle. After carefully adjusting a few prescriptions, he could not help but mutter to himself: "I'm really working hard."
The next morning, Prince Jing's mansion.
The breakfast was a peaceful meal. After having breakfast, they returned to the courtyard.
Before he could even see if Duan Chengyu had woken up, the mansion's servants came to greet him, "Miss Litchi Bay, there is a Lady Yue Qing outside the door. She says she is your friend."
He was slightly dazed, and then he suddenly recalled the concubine that was once by Third Prince Duan Chenrui's side.
Although he didn't know why she had come, he still went out to take a look. Yue Qing was dressed in a light purple robe today, but the makeup on her face wasn't thick.
Yue Qing invited her to meet with him at the Hundred Flavors Tower. After they took their seats, she said softly, "Yesterday at the intersection, I saw young master Qi and the fourth prince together in a beautiful alley. I sent someone to inform you immediately. How is the situation?"
"So it was you who told me. Thank you so much, both of them were fine last night." Litchi Bay was a little surprised, but he remembered that Yue Qing also gave her an idea, but Duan Chengyu did not appreciate it.
Yue Qing then let out a sigh of relief and started to chat in detail. When she recalled the recent rumors, she chuckled softly. "However, the rumors about Sky Flame are quite interesting. They say that Princess Jing is a fox demon and that the Fourth Prince is bewitched by her. What a joke."
Litchi tightly held the cup in her hand and lowered her eyes.
"I don't find it funny."
"Oh? "Litchi Bay's girl believes in the saying of ghosts and gods?" Yue Qing's interest was immediately piqued. Her eyes lit up.
After being questioned, Litchi Wan also came back to her senses. She wore a sweet smile on her face. She tapped the rim of her cup with her fingertips and shook her head. "I was lost in thought just now. I'm afraid I said something wrong."
However, the expression on Litchi's face was seen by Yue Qing.
Previously, she even stayed in the Medicine Mansion for a period of time. Her reputation was that she was recuperating from her injuries, but I heard that the two of them went out to swim in the lake together. Now that the rumor has been spread, I feel that Princess Jing might really be a charming fox fairy. Yue Qing covered her mouth as she chuckled. However, she was carefully observing every single move of Litchi Bay.
After hearing that they had lived in a pharmacy and swam in the lake together, the tips of Litchi Bay's fingers, which were attached to the rim of the cup, turned slightly white due to the exertion.
Yue Qing was elated.
If someone as close as Litchi Bay could be hostile towards Gu Danyan, then wouldn't it be easy to make a move?
Although the Third Prince always valued Gu Danyan so highly, in Yue Qing's heart, Gu Danyan was an absolute stumbling block. However, because the Third Prince was unable to do anything to her, she could only borrow a saber to kill him.
After a long silence, Litchi looked up and asked, "Is what Lady Yue Qing said true?"
"Of course I won't lie …" Before Yue Qing could finish her words, Litchi Bay had already left with a pair of ice-cold eyes.
She merely gazed at her departing back, solemnly taking a sip of her wine. She knew that she had already succeeded in more than half of the round.
Litchi Bay was calm on the surface, but when he returned to the Duke's Mansion, Duan Chengyu had already disappeared without a trace.
"Where did the fourth prince go?" She expressionlessly asked the servant beside her.
This was the first time that the servant had seen Litchi Bay show such an expression. After a moment of surprise, he hurriedly said, "Just now, the Fourth Prince seemed to have gone to the medicine house, saying that he wanted to get some medicine for his headache from the wangfei."
Litchi Bay clenched his fist tightly. He then drilled into the room in front of the servant and closed the door.
She was the only one left, and there was no need to pretend to be gentle and sweet anymore.
The reason she grew up in this life was to support the fourth prince in the future, to be of use to him.
But now, even though the Fourth Prince had given face to his consort, he didn't give her the slightest bit of respect. In fact, he even went to the flower street to drink! However, he only listened to Gu Liuyan's words!
Gu Liuyan was truly a foxy girl.
Gu Danyan, who was far away in the medicine house, sneezed for no reason, but she was glad that she had already eaten the small wontons early on. Beside him, Duan Chengyu and Qi Lin both had headaches from hangovers.
Gu Danyan rolled his eyes and ordered someone to buy two bowls of porridge to wake the two of them up.
"My head hurts." Qi Lin still couldn't bear it and shouted, "I should never have drunk with you. If my sister found out, she would definitely scold me again!"
Duan Chengyu held onto his forehead and painfully squeezed out a few words, "I don't drink everyday anymore either."
"Not only are you not allowed to drink, but you're also going home to accompany Litchi Bay." Gu Liuyan knocked on Duan Chengyu's head. After hearing his low wail, she continued: "That is your future wife. How can you say you hate her when you're drunk? Litchi Bay should be very sad."
Duan Chengyu narrowed his eyes and snorted a few times, "I didn't say anything."
Gu Daiyan glared at him, so Duan Chengyu could only agree repeatedly. In the end, he raised his mouth and stuffed the Soup Dumplings that she had bought this morning into his mouth when Gu Daiyan wasn't paying attention.
Gu Daiyan was so angry that he sucked in a breath of cold air.
Qi Lin held his forehead and shook his head, "You guys don't look like princes and princesses at all. It's obvious that you're just two brats that haven't grown up yet."
Gu Danyan and Duan Chengyu kicked him with tacit understanding, causing Qi Lin to be in so much pain that he didn't know where to cover his mouth. "You two siblings, don't bully me, I also have a big sister!"
In the end, she only finished eating that cage of Soup Dumplings and went back to work on the prescription. Only Duan Chengyu stood there in a daze, rubbed his head, and asked Qi Lin, "She really looks like my big sister. Say, do I recognize her as my big sister?"
Qi Lin wished he could pick up his chopsticks and smash him, "That is your royal uncle's wife! Take your big sister! "
