Court Marriage 宫嫁(攻嫁) [ BL ]

Chapter 15: Severing Ties

Translated by: LishaChan

Gong Zhuoliang did not have any slight interest in dealing with these girls, and so all the time, he only conversed with those distant relatives and close neighborhoods perfunctorily, before he suggested them all to go have their dinner and that they could also go watch a show outside. After that, Gong Zhuoliang took Wen Shu and Ruo Lan with him, and the three of them all walked together to Gong Zhuoyan's boudoir, in which he used to reside in the past. But then a few minutes later, Madam Gong suddenly came rushing in towards them like a storm with a few maidservants following behind her.

"May we request of Madam Gong to not bother the rest of our family's Young Madam for the time being. Please see them out, servants"

Wen Shu and Ruo Lan were ordered to stay outside and keep watch for any visitors, and so when they saw Madam Gong and the others approaching them, they both immediately stood in front of the door and blocked the incoming visitors. Ruo Lan's head drooped low for a while, and her posture was very modest. And as for Wen Shu, she slowly walked in front of Ruo Lan to greet Madam Gong. Although she had respectfully greeted Madam Gong, her tone of speaking was not too panicked nor unhurried, but somewhat aloof.

Wen Shu doesn't actually know why the Young Madam wanted to treat his mother like this, however, she only chose to heed with his instructions and put an air of arrogance; not daring to probe into her Master's personal matters anymore.

"You...... what an annoying girl"

After being blocked by the maidservants at the doorway, Madam Gong's chilly face instantly distorted. Still, seeing Wen Shu's delicate figure, and Ruo Lan's timid appearance, Madam Gong did not dare to flare up at them in the end. This one maidservant is from the Qiao Family after all, and so she had no choice but to hold in her anger, and squeezed out a slight smile.

"Then we request of you to wait for a while"

As Wen Shu stood upright, she only lightly replied to Madam Gong, then Ruo Lan ― with her head hanging down ― opened the door for her to step in, before softly shutting it as soon as Wen Shu entered; as though respecting her Master's privacy.

"Ruo Lan, what was that all about?"

Madam Gong's eyebrows wrinkled as she measured Ruo Lan up and down. She couldn't believe that the reliable maidservant who used to stand beside her all the time, instantly became so vigilant after staying at the Qiao Household for only three days. Could it be that the Qiao Family actually had strict rules?

Remembering the information that her Husband had just relayed to her a while ago, Madam Gong's heart began to feel agitated. Her impression of that Eldest Young Master Qiao is that, other than looking very malnourished, she doesn't think he could be a big trouble for her. But if he learned about the truth.... No way, no way. If the entire Qiao Family really learned about it, her family's life won't surely last any longer!

"Madam..."

When Ruo Lan glanced at Madam Gong, she looked like she wanted to say something but was unsure how to say it, and so she only lowered her head once again and didn't talk anymore. But the case is that, actually, she really couldn't bear to hold in her smirk any longer.

Ruo Lan really admired her Young Master-in-law. Madam Gong totally looked as though humiliation did not really cease to severely attack her.

Gong Zhuoliang had told Ruo Lan that this plan was all Qiao Yingze's idea.

"Madam Gong, our Young Lady has allowed you to come inside"

After a short while, Wen Shu immediately came out of the room, and told Madam Gong that she had been allowed to come inside as she opened the door for her. Afterwards, Wen Shu stood at the opposite side of Ruo Lan once again, ignoring those maidservants that were left outside.
