Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

"What did you say?" Ling Nanchen asked in disbelief, nearly dropping the spear in his hand.

During this time, the guards had been helping Ling Nanchen find out about Gu Xiao, and naturally guessed Ling Nanchen's special feelings for Gu Xiao.

It was all wishful thinking to begin with, so there's no need for the Second Young Master to waste his time on people or things that will never lead to anything.

"Impossible, how could she choose my older brother? They've barely even exchanged a few words." Ling Nanchen muttered to himself, still unwilling to give up.

“But Miss is indeed going to marry the eldest young master, and the wedding date is set for March.” The guard couldn’t stand Ling Nanchen’s self-deception any longer and went straight to the point.

Ling Nanchen suddenly remembered that when he had a quarrel with Gu Xiao a few days ago, it seemed to have happened outside the pavilion that Ling Yubai often went to.

The night she woke up after being reborn was also, if I remember correctly, the night Ling Yu encountered the lost Liu Sangning at the Bai Liang Pavilion.

"I only tried to stop Liu Sangning for a moment, but she took advantage of the situation." Ling Nanchen gritted his teeth and placed the spear on the ground with hatred in his eyes.

The guards had never seen Ling Nanchen speak so urgently and were naturally quite frightened. They quickly remained silent and waited for Ling Nanchen to speak.

Ling Nanchen chuckled again, "Big brother is getting married soon. What kind of grand gift do you think I should give him to make a lasting impression?"

"What does the young master mean?" The guard was confused and simply assumed it was agreement.

Ling Nanchen raised his hand and issued the order he would regret most in his life.

Meanwhile, in Gu Xiao's courtyard, Zi Tan was happily trying on various styles of clothes for Gu Xiao, striving to make Gu Xiao the most beautiful bride in the capital.

Xue'er held Gu Xiao's hand tightly, silently shedding tears, while Shu Ya looked at Gu Xiao with a complicated expression.

After trying on all the wedding dresses that Ling Yue Su had sent to the room, Zi Tan and Xue Er were reluctantly kicked out by Gu Xiao.

Once again, only Shuya and Gu Xiao remained in the room. After a long silence, Shuya spoke first, "Is it worth it? Marrying a short-lived husband who may die at any moment may bring a moment of glory, but it is not as good as a lifetime of wealth."

Gu Xiao, however, continued to do her hair and makeup in front of the mirror. "What does a moment of glory matter? What does a lifetime of wealth matter? I just want a peaceful and stable life. Glory and wealth are like fleeting clouds to me."

Shu Ya disagreed with Gu Xiao's opinion, saying, "Although the eldest young master is famous, he is already at the end of his rope. The second young master is no ordinary person and will surely achieve great things in the future. You are short-sighted."

Upon hearing Shu Ya's assessment, Gu Xiao's anger flared instantly. She slammed the comb she was holding onto the table with a loud bang. Then, she abruptly raised her head, her gaze sharp as a knife, fixed on Shu Ya, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Sister Shuya has a good eye; she chose the most manageable mistress for herself in advance."

At this moment, Shu Ya was terrified by Gu Xiao's sudden conclusion and sharp gaze.

She thought to herself: I did this so discreetly, so logically speaking, Gu Xiao is always careless and would never have noticed anything amiss.

Thinking of this, she forced herself to calm down, then pretended to be composed and said innocently, "Miss, you must be joking. How could lowly servants like us be qualified to choose a mistress?"

However, faced with Shu Ya's explanation, Gu Xiao's expression did not soften at all; instead, it became even more gloomy and cold. Her already icy gaze was now like a thousand-year-old block of ice, sending chills down one's spine. She coldly said, "Shu Ya, it seems you really have a lot of nerve!"

Upon hearing this, large beads of sweat began to roll down Shu Ya's forehead, and her back was already soaked with sweat. She felt that Gu Xiao was like a completely different person today, unusually sharp and shrewd, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Despite her inner fear and unease, Shuya pretended to be clueless and stammered, "This...this servant really doesn't understand what you mean, Miss."

However, Gu Xiao clearly did not want to continue entangled with Shu Ya. She just snorted and said, "I will be marrying into the eldest son's courtyard in a few days. Shu Ya was originally borrowed by my aunt because she was short of manpower. So naturally she does not need to come with me to the eldest son's courtyard. You should go back to the second son's courtyard to continue working."

Shuya dared not look Gu Xiao in the eye. Although she was dissatisfied, she did not know how much Gu Xiao knew about what she had done, so she could only endure it.
