Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Xue'er, who was left alone in the courtyard to clean, saw Mo Feng, Ling Yubai's personal guard, escorting Gu Xiao back to the courtyard with a cold and unsmiling expression the whole time. She quickly surrounded Gu Xiao and asked with concern, "Miss, why were you sent back by the eldest young master? Did something happen?"

In the eyes of everyone in the Ling family, the people around Ling Yubai were all extremely authoritative, and those who could be personally escorted back by Ling Yubai's confidants must have committed some serious crime.

Gu Xiao was still thinking about what Ling Yubai had just said to her. She felt lingering fear but also irony. How did she end up getting involved with the Ling family again in such a muddled way?

She was indeed reckless. It seems that Ling Yubai was also driven to desperation by Qin Shuanghua, which is why he resorted to this desperate measure to find her and cooperate with her to create a smokescreen for Qin Shuanghua in order to prevent Qin Shuanghua from sending people into his courtyard.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiao couldn't help but murmur, "My older cousin..." Her voice was so soft that it seemed only she could hear it, but the hesitation and confusion in her tone still unconsciously showed.

Xue'er listened intently, but Gu Xiao's words were fragmented and unclear, causing her heart to clench with anxiety. Xue'er couldn't help but press, "What's wrong with the young master? Miss, please tell me!"

Under Xue'er's persistent questioning, Gu Xiao finally took a deep breath and, as if gathering his courage, slowly uttered a few words: "He probably isn't serious." However, these words not only failed to make Xue'er understand the truth, but also made her even more anxious.

"What do you mean you're not serious? What exactly did this young master do to you?" Xue'er gripped Gu Xiao's sleeve tightly, her eyes wide with worry.

Seeing Xue'er's nervous appearance, Gu Xiao couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in his heart. He recalled how Xue'er had suffered a lot while following him, her useless master, in his previous life, and his heart ached.

Gu Xiao lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes obscuring the emotions in her eyes, and she exuded a deep sense of loss.

Upon seeing this, Xue'er's heart skipped a beat. With a woman's keen intuition, she felt that this young master Ling Yubai must have done something to wrong her young mistress.

Otherwise, someone as cautious as Miss would never show such a distraught expression to any other man.

Just then, Ling Yubai, who had just stepped into his room, was preparing to calm down and carefully analyze the complex situation in the court.

However, before Ling Yubai could even sit down, she suddenly felt a strange, eerie wind sweeping over her without warning.

In an instant, Ling Yubai's body trembled slightly from the sudden gust of wind. Then, he involuntarily sneezed several times in succession. The sneezing broke the silence of the room.

Seeing this, Mo Feng, who had been standing silently to the side, felt a pang of heartache and a strong sense of heartache welled up inside him. Without hesitation, he quickly walked to the side, picked up the cloak that was placed aside, and gently draped it over Ling Yu Bai's shoulders.

“Young Master, there are far more people in the court who support Prince Qing to inherit the throne than you might imagine. Now is not a good time for you to extricate yourself. You don’t need to worry too much about His Highness the Crown Prince.”

Ling Yubai waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, "I just caught a chill, it's nothing serious." He then buried his head in analyzing the current situation in the court with his advisors.

Looking at Ling Yubai's serious and focused expression, Mo Feng felt a strange sense of disconnect, as if the Ling Yubai who had just protected his cousin and the Ling Yubai who was now focused on his career were not the same person.

This discovery caused Mo Feng to begin to waver in his analysis of Zhui Feng's feelings towards Ling Yu Bai.

Mo Feng felt that Ling Yubai seemed to really just need a marriage partner, rather than having any genuine feelings for Gu Xiao, which was why she helped him.

Just as Mo Feng finished everything and was about to exchange information with Zhui Feng, he went out with a sullen face, only to run into Xue Er, who came to demand an explanation.

When the two saw each other, they were both taken aback.

After a brief exchange of glances, Mo Feng spoke first, "Are you perhaps Xue'er, the young lady beside Miss Biao?"

Xue'er also came to the mansion with Gu Xiao. Because of her outspoken nature, Qin Shuanghua dismissed her from her post and sent her to work as a lowly maid.

Xue'er speaks directly, without the roundabout way of the maids in the manor, and silences Mo Feng with just one sentence.

Xue'er stood with her hands on her hips, pointing at Ling Yubai inside the door and yelling, "You, surnamed Ling, come out here! I have something to ask you!"

Xue'er's shout immediately drew everyone's attention, both inside and outside the house, who craned their necks to look in this direction. Even the passing dogs had to stop and peek into the house.

Ling Yubai's courtyard was usually quiet, but upon hearing this sudden shout, he naturally put aside what he was doing and ordered someone to push his wheelchair outside.

Xue'er had never met Ling Yubai before. When she saw the sickly man being pushed out of the house, her first thought was that Ling Yubai was still inside and hiding from her, trying to be a coward. So she continued to berate the man inside, "You, surnamed Ling, what kind of man are you? Making a weak and sickly man take a bullet for you? Do you deserve the praise of the entire capital?"

Despite Xue'er's humiliation, Ling Yubai remained unfazed and calmly replied, "I am Ling Yubai. May I ask what business you have with me, young lady?"

Ling Yubai's answer left Xue'er silent for a long time.

After thoroughly examining Ling Yubai from head to toe, inside and out, Xue'er concluded, "My girl is truly beautiful and kind-hearted; how could she possibly have taken a liking to you?"

Faced with Xue'er's blatant scrutiny, even the most composed person like Ling Yubai couldn't help but be affected. He frowned slightly and asked, "Miss Xue'er, did you come here just to praise your young lady?"

Xue'er originally thought that if Ling Yubai was a two-faced scumbag, she would definitely teach this hypocrite a lesson on behalf of her young lady. However, after seeing that Ling Yubai seemed to not have long to live, she felt relieved.

So what if our young lady is blinded by love right now?

He's a sickly man, he won't cause any trouble after he dies. With my young lady's looks and character, she can have any man she wants just by beckoning him.

Thinking of this, Xue'er's anger subsided. She quickly came to her senses and asked a question, replying perfunctorily, "Um... well, it's nothing. I just... I just wanted to ask if the young master is in good health lately?"

Ask yourself how you feel; is such a big fuss really necessary?

Ling Yubai felt that Xue'er was a tool that Gu Xiao had deliberately sent to solidify their relationship.

In an instant, Ling Yubai's slightly improved impression of Gu Xiao was completely wiped out.

He concluded that Gu Xiao was indeed a scheming and cunning woman who wanted to use Xue'er to arrange their marriage.

It seems this wedding will have to be postponed for a while longer!
