"Someone, I'm in so much pain, hurry up and get me a doctor..." Cheng Mingxue laid on her bed and moaned non-stop, but at the same time, she moaned weakly.
"Two... "Second Miss, this servant has almost invited all of the famous doctors in the capital to come, but they couldn't do anything about it. Moreover, the Second Madam had already instructed me not to ask for a doctor for you." The closest servant girl beside Cheng Mingxue, Leng Xiang, asked while trembling in fear.
"You … You bunch of trash, quickly call your mother over. I'm in so much pain … "It really hurts." Cheng Mingxue's entire body was truly in a strange state. Sometimes she would faint from the pain, but sometimes she was so sore that she couldn't even say a word. She could only open her mouth and breathe hard, as though her heart would stop beating anytime, and her life would be gone.
"Second Miss, don't be in such a hurry. This servant will send someone to get Madam right now. Please drink some water first." Leng Xiang knew that Cheng Mingxue's personality was not to be trifled with, so she carefully followed her lead.
Unexpectedly, she brought the teacup to Cheng Mingxue's mouth, but Cheng Mingxue didn't even have time to drink her water, instead, Cheng Mingxue went berserk, and smashed the teacup on the ground with her hands. She even poured some of the tea on Leng Xiang's body, causing her to tremble and sob: "Second Miss, don't be angry, this servant will personally go find Madam for you."
"No need, all of you go down, I have something to say to second sister." Suddenly, a melodious and somewhat cold female voice rang out from behind Leng Xiang.
Leng Xiang turned her head and saw the person that came, "Big …" Eldest Miss, you're here? "
Cheng Mingying nodded her head, then waved her hand, allowing Leng Xiang and the others to leave.
"Why are you here? "Could it be that you want to watch me make a joke out of it?" Cheng Mingxue said very unhappily.
"So what if I am? The current you is like a phoenix who has lost its feathers, and is no longer the direct daughter of Hou Mansion. Besides, did you have any other talents or qualities other than that of a first-rate daughter? "No, so you're not worth my jealousy." To say that Cheng Mingxue was arrogant and proud was only on the surface. In reality, Cheng Mingying was the one who was truly arrogant.
It was for no other reason than the fact that she was a genius at such a young age. Furthermore, she was one of the ten publicly recognized beauties in the capital.
However, she didn't take a fancy to anyone. Moreover, she was already 18 years old this year. If she were slightly older, it would be difficult for her to get married.
"What's the use of saying so much, do you want to prove that you're stronger than me? But you didn't get married either? " If there was anyone Cheng Mingxue disliked the most, then the first would be Cheng Mingying.
After all, Cheng Mingying's talent and looks had already spread throughout the capital. Furthermore, her father was not a concubine, but rather the younger brother of Cheng Mingxue's father, Cheng Lianghao.
So it was Cheng Mingying's glory that overshadowed her, allowing her to compare them ever since she was young.
So much so that she hated hearing rumors of Cheng Mingying's praises, and felt that she was the only one who was truly a noble daughter of the Cheng Family.
"You're wrong. It's not that I can't get married, it's just that I don't like them."
The sudden words from the usually haughty and pure Cheng Mingying made Cheng Mingxue somewhat angry: "Come on! Don't brag about it in front of me, who doesn't know that you have taken a fancy to the capital's number one genius, Gu Zhilun.
"So what if I am? "In short, let me give you a word of advice. Some of these ideas are not something that you should be thinking about." "… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Cheng Mingying did like Gu Zhilun, after all, he was indeed an outstanding scholar, but it was a pity that someone said that he would not take the top scholar's exam, and not take a wife.
Even though he was the current Emperor's younger brother, he wasn't as savage and proud as the other children from influential families.
Instead, he was gentle, humble, and courteous.
Other than Wei Shengxiao, the noble ladies in the capital were the most ideal targets for his husband.
"So it turns out that you had come to see me because you wanted me to stop having ideas on Gu Zhilun. But, when I was serving incense a few days ago, there were already a lot of girls chirping around Gu Zhilun's side. He took a liking to you, and it was him who greeted me first and passed the handkerchief into my hands, what does it have to do with you? " Because of Eldest Princess's illness, Cheng Mingxue had specially gone to the Hall of State to burn incense.
Coincidentally, she met Gu Zhilun halfway, and then naturally, she accidentally twisted her leg and fell on his body.
Gu Zhilun was also a gentle, refined and elegant man who would not reject her. Thus, he must have taken out his handkerchief and helped her bandage her ankle.
However, those mischievous girls only stood in the distance and pointed at him. They had never dared to pretend to wrestle like this before, as they leaned into her arms.
As a result, this information, was spread out by the noble ladies who saw it, and they all said that Cheng Mingxue was shameless.
Cheng Mingxue himself was a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, he allowed them to speak.
However, before this news could even reach their ears, Cheng Fengyue's family had already returned to recognize their ancestors and messed up their lives.
They didn't even have time to pay attention to these rumors.
Even when Cheng Mingying heard these rumors, she was still a close friend of hers.
"You think this has nothing to do with me, but do you know the consequences of doing this? If you do so, all the other girls in the mansion would be shamed along with you, and everyone would know that you're an impolite girl. Don't you feel ashamed?" Even if Cheng Mingying liked someone, she would try to fight for it in a fair and square manner.
For example, being first place again and again in all of the talent competitions had caused her name to rise to prominence. There was even the possibility of her matching poems and words with Gu Zhilun.
Although a woman without talent was a virtue, after marriage in the future, when they got along with each other, they should always find some common topics to talk about or have some fun.
As a result, Cheng Mingying fell for Gu Zhilun only because she liked to read and write poems.
"It's useless for you to tell me so much. I'll tell you the truth, I just want to get ahold of Gu Zhilun, so what? Anyways, whoever can get his favor will be considered to have some ability." Cheng Mingxue was indeed like what she said. The reason she did this was because she wanted to get closer to Gu Zhilun and build a relationship with him.
Furthermore, the more Cheng Mingying liked him, the more she wanted to see him, so that Cheng Mingying could see who exactly was stronger.
"Since you said that, then you definitely have to think about him, but do you really think that your unconventional methods can make Gu Zhilun like you?" Cheng Mingying was actually kind enough to not tell this to Shen Lanxin, Second Grandmother, and the others.
Otherwise, Cheng Mingxue would have been locked in the Ancestral Temple to reflect.
