The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

“Lingxi! You’re going a bit too far with those words! It’s not that your aunt wants to disturb your rest, but I’m just too worried about your health, so I brought your third sister to bring you some tonics. Those scoundrels are truly despicable! Look at the suffering our Lingxi has endured!” Aunt Mei said, wiping away tears with a silk handkerchief.

Gu Lingxi clicked her tongue. This tearful look was actually quite convincing! If it were the old Gu Lingxi, she would have been incredibly grateful. It's just a pity she ran into her!

Look at that acting! She's got the acting skills to win an Oscar for Best Actress! Hmph, maybe those petty thieves were sent by you. What are you pretending for? You're such a scheming bitch! Ling Xi sneered inwardly, but her face remained impassive.

"Then Xi'er thanks you, Second Madam. You can leave the medicine here and get out of here!" The first half of the sentence sounded reasonable, but the second half was truly infuriating!

Gu Yuting immediately became furious: "Gu Lingxi, don't push your luck! You really don't know what's good for you. My mother condescended to personally deliver tonics to you, and this is how you treat people? Is this how you, the second young lady, treat others?"

Gu Lingxi glanced at the two of them and continued to feign sleep. "Then what kind of attitude do you think I should have towards you? Should I be as subservient as before, or kneel down to thank you like a servant? Hmm?" She drew out the last syllable of her flat words, which were still calm and even, but something seemed different to the two of them. They couldn't figure it out for a moment, so they gave up.

But Gu Yuting, who was used to being arrogant, couldn't tolerate such a retort. She was so angry that she blurted out, "You little bitch, you really don't know what's good for you!"

"You little bitch, who are you calling a slut?"

"You little bitch, I'm just insulting you!"

"Oh, so it's that little bitch cursing at me. No wonder you smell so bad! Did you brush your teeth this morning?"

Those slow, deliberate words infuriated Gu Yuting, leaving her speechless. She could only point a trembling finger at Gu Lingxi and stammer, "You, you, you..."

Hua Ying, standing to the side, was overjoyed. It was truly satisfying. Her mistress had indeed changed. But she liked this version of her mistress. Over the years, even she had felt stifled, and today she had finally gotten her revenge.

Gu Yuting was about to say something when her second aunt stopped her: "Ting'er, don't be angry, and don't blame your second sister. She must have been upset by those thieves and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she didn't mean to argue with you. As a family, we should understand and care about her!" Although she spoke in a flattering tone, the murderous intent that flashed in her eyes did not escape Gu Lingxi's notice.

You're truly an old hand at acting; I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve.

"Lingxi, this tonic was personally brewed for you by your second aunt. It's almost cold, so drink it while it's hot! It'll be good for your health. This is a reward the general received from the palace—a thousand-year-old Xuanxue ginseng! Last time I was sick, the general was considerate and sent me a small piece, but I couldn't bear to eat it. Today, I'm offering it to you, Lingxi, to help you recover!"

Hmph, you're so kind as to use someone else's good intentions to curry favor! I think you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub! All this talk is just to get me to drink the medicine, so there's probably something wrong with it!

However, her wishful thinking was about to be thwarted when she encountered her own power. Fortunately, the spiritual energy she had just cultivated could envelop and force out the poison. It was more than enough to deal with ordinary poison!

Gu Lingxi narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying, "Really? Then I really have to thank Second Aunt. It would be a waste not to drink it after all this trouble. Please bring it over!"

Hua Ying carried the medicine bowl to the bedside, a hint of hesitation on her face, and whispered, "Miss, can I drink this medicine? It won't be poisonous, will it?"

"What did you say? This medicine is poisonous! No way, this was brewed by Second Aunt herself!" Gu Lingxi said loudly, feigning surprise, and then stared intently at Second Aunt, who looked very nervous.

Upon hearing this, the second concubine's face immediately turned pale, and she said sternly, "What nonsense are you spouting, you lowly servant? You're making false accusations! Tomorrow, the general will have you punished according to family law for such a disrespectful and unruly servant!"

Seeing her second aunt's outburst, Gu Lingxi chuckled inwardly. Her secret had been exposed, and she was now furious! So easily angered; it seemed this old Jiang's cultivation was still lacking!

"Second Mistress, please don't be angry. Ying'er was only trying to protect her mistress, that's why she offended you. Why bother with her! It's just medicine, Xi'er will drink it." Taking the bowl, Gu Lingxi drank it all in one gulp. As soon as the medicine entered her stomach, she secretly circulated her spiritual energy, enveloping the liquid. The purple spiritual energy slowly decomposed and circulated until there was not a trace of impurity in the liquid! A drop of black poison, enveloped by the spiritual energy, was forced out of her body through the meridians in her arm, landing in her palm. Heh! Just as she expected!

Setting down the medicine bowl, Gu Lingxi felt a chill run through her. Anyone who dared to harm her sister should be prepared to suffer a fate worse than death! An invisible coldness emanated from her body, spreading throughout her, but her face remained completely expressionless.

Gu Lingxi still smiled and said, "Second Aunt, I've heard that if you do too many bad things, ghosts will come knocking on your door in the middle of the night. I wonder if you have any experience with this and could share it with me?"

Looking at Gu Lingxi, who was still smiling, Aunt Mei couldn't help but shiver. It was truly unbelievable! Ever since this little bitch woke up, she had always had an inexplicable aura about her that made people inexplicably terrified! Her words were also different from before, each one more eloquent than the last. Could she have been possessed by a ghost? It was truly bizarre!

Thinking of this, her face paled and she said awkwardly, "Our Lingxi can joke now. How could your second aunt, who is always so proper, have such insights to share with you! If there's nothing else, your sister and I will take our leave."

After saying that, she pulled Gu Yuting and was about to leave. Watching the two hurriedly leave, Gu Lingxi snorted coldly and waved her hand. There were two thuds! The two who were walking fell to the ground at the same time. They cried out in surprise and tried to get up. It was really a ghost. How could they fall on the flat ground?

Gu Lingxi suppressed a laugh and pretended not to know, "Oh dear, what's going on? How can you perform such a grand gesture to a junior!"

"Ying'er, quickly help them up, don't be impolite." Hua Ying reluctantly went over to help the two of them up!

Aunt Mei was already suffering both physically and mentally and just wanted to leave this evil place as soon as possible. But as soon as she stepped out the door, the gold hairpins and pearl flowers on her head and the silk and jade pendants on her waist fell to the ground with a jingling sound!

The two of them were instantly disheveled, stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and groaned...ah...ah...!

Screams echoed throughout the Snowfall Pavilion. Ghosts! Ghosts! The two stumbled and ran out of the Snowfall Pavilion as if possessed!

The servants outside, bewildered, pointed and whispered as the two ran off. Gu Lingxi, unable to contain herself any longer, burst into laughter. "Hahaha...it's so funny! Oh my god, I'm dying of laughter! Those two idiots!"

Hahaha! Looking at the laughing young lady, Hua Ying was completely bewildered. "Miss, what are you laughing at? What's wrong with those two? Why did they throw all their jewelry here? Why are they saying there's a ghost here? I didn't see a ghost!"

Gu Lingxi stopped laughing and shook her head, saying, "It's better that you, you little idiot, don't know. Alright, put all these things away. We'll pawn them another day. Why not take money that's offered to us?"

But this is just the beginning, so enjoy it slowly. I'm a really nice person, I won't let you die right away. It's more fun to take it slow, isn't it? The process of playing cat and mouse is the most important thing.

Hahaha! Looking at her young mistress who was laughing uncontrollably, Hua Ying was completely bewildered. She really didn't know what her young mistress was laughing about. What was going on with the second concubine and the third young lady just now? She couldn't figure it out, so she stopped worrying about it and hurriedly ran over to pick up the jewelry on the ground one by one.

Miss, is it really okay to pawn these things? What if Aunt Mei comes looking for trouble again or complains to the General?

Looking at Hua Ying's conflicted expression, Gu Lingxi shook her head. "This little girl is indeed loyal, but unfortunately she's too timid and too naive. It seems I'll have to train her properly in the future."

What are you afraid of? With me here, you can do whatever you want. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you. And for things like today, if someone slaps you, you can slap them back, no matter who it is. Remember, slap them back twice as hard. I don't keep cowards or useless people around me, understand?

I'll help you get back the two slaps you received today; consider these jewels as interest.

"Hmph, of all people to mess with, you have to provoke someone you can't afford to offend." Gu Lingxi's lips curled into a bloodthirsty, cold smile, which made Hua Ying tremble. However, she still mustered her courage and nodded vigorously!

Yes, yes, Miss Ying'er understands. She will definitely not embarrass Miss again next time.

"Hmm, that's more like it. At least you still have some backbone." Ling Xi praised without reservation.
