The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

Miss, Miss, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!

Watching Hua Ying run out of breath, Gu Lingxi couldn't help but roll her eyes. This brat was always so impulsive and easily startled.

She already knew what had happened; it was probably about how she had dressed up as a ghost to scare Aunt Mei and the other woman last night. So she calmly put down her teacup, her smiling eyes looking at Hua Ying. "Oh? I wonder what big thing happened. Tell me about it."

It's all over the place, Miss. Aunt Mei and the Third Miss encountered a ghost yesterday. They must have been terrified. The servants say they both fainted from fright, and when they woke up, they were rambling incoherently. The General says they've gone mad and have been confined to their quarters! And their maid, Wanxiang, for some reason, can't be woken up. Everyone says her soul has been taken by an evil spirit, which is why she hasn't woken up.

This is wonderful! It's karma! Who told them to bully the young lady all this time? I heard from Granny Li in the kitchen that they had a terrible time yesterday. Their erratic behavior angered the General, who dragged them both to the ancestral hall and gave them a good beating. Their screams echoed throughout the hall; they were beaten dozens of times and then confined to their quarters. Now let's see how they dare to bully the young lady again.

However, however,

But what? Seeing Hua Ying suddenly go from beaming with excitement to hesitant to speak, Gu Lingxi frowned. Was there some bad news?

"Miss, you guessed right. There's some bad news I overheard the old women talking about. I don't know if it's true, but it's definitely not." "Miss, do you really want to hear it?" Hua Ying cautiously glanced at the still composed Ling Xi.

What news? Tell me.

I heard that last night, the Third Miss said to the General that you were a bastard and not the legitimate daughter of the General's mansion. Miss, please don't take it to heart. Ying'er thinks this news is probably false; the Third Miss is just making it up out of jealousy.

Gu Lingxi remained silent, her eyes narrowed in thought. No news could be baseless; it seemed there was more to the original owner's identity than met the eye. However, based on her observations over the past few days, the original owner's parents genuinely cared for her. She wondered what other hidden story lay behind this.

Forget it, I won't dwell on it too much. I'll just deal with whatever comes my way and remain unchanged in the face of all changes. Gu Lingxi didn't care about the original owner's background anyway. No matter what the original owner's background or identity was, it was enough for her to just be herself.

While serving rice to Gu Lingxi, Hua Ying observed Gu Lingxi's expression. The young lady of the past would have been heartbroken for a long time upon hearing such news. This is your favorite crispy chicken, Miss.

Please try this. This dish was specially ordered by the master to be made by the cook for you. And this hibiscus and jade shrimp dish was ordered by the madam. Please eat quickly. Ying'er will go to Fuzhu Garden to inquire about the situation for you later.

Gu Lingxi came to her senses, feeling both amused and exasperated. This Hua Ying was always worrying about nothing, and her attempts to guess her thoughts were completely off-target.

What are you asking about? If it's true, my parents and brother will naturally tell me. If it's false, why should we bother with it and create trouble for ourselves?

Seeing her young lady's natural expression, Hua Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're not sad, Miss." Hua Ying then went to attend to her work.

Okay, you can go ahead. I'll rest in my room this afternoon and no one is allowed to come in without my permission. Come over around dinner time.

"It's Miss," Hua Ying said, carrying the food box and gently closing the door as she walked out.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Gu Lingxi summoned Ali with her mind. Ali was extremely excited to be out of the space, jumping up and down in Lingxi's arms. "Master, Master, you finally remembered Ali! Ali missed Master so much! Ali wants to eat bread! Did Master prepare any for Ali?"

Gu Lingxi smiled broadly. "Hehe, this little cutie actually took my casual remark seriously! Haha, there's no bread today, but we have this. Do you want some?" She casually picked up the crispy chicken from the table and placed it beside her. Ah Li, seeing the much larger crispy chicken, pounced and landed on it, whimpering incoherently, "Master...it's so delicious! It's so good!" She hummed as she ate.

Watching the little beast wolf down its food, Ling Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes. How long had it been since it had eaten anything? A plate of chicken was all it took to make it so addicted.

Picking up the bowl and chopsticks beside her, Gu Lingxi quickly began to eat. She had never been particular about food. When she was on a mission in the jungle, there were no other options, so she ate raw meat and rotten tree bark. Later, when things stabilized, she ate countless delicacies, abalone, and state banquets.

Having arrived in this strange world, Gu Lingxi didn't want to deprive herself. She savored the three dishes and soup on the table; the taste was alright, but the only drawback was the absence of her beloved grape wine. Alas! What a pity for the hundreds of bottles of Lafite in her villa's wine cellar! Shaking her head regretfully, Gu Lingxi suddenly had a flash of inspiration. How could she forget that she had a spatial dimension where she could grow her own grapes and make her own wine! She also had a spiritual spring; perhaps the wine made from grapes grown with that spring water and her spatial dimension would be more delicious than any wine she had ever tasted in her previous life! Hehe, that's a good idea! She wrote it down in her little notebook and would try to realize it when she had some free time.

Now she needs to seize the time to cultivate. Her own strength is the foundation of her confidence and the right to be arrogant. In this world where martial arts reign supreme, if she wants to live as freely and happily as she did in her previous life, she must let her fists do the talking. If she doesn't want to be controlled by power, then strength is the only way.

Gu Lingxi, who was sitting cross-legged preparing to cultivate, casually glanced at Ah Li on the table and was immediately exasperated. "You damn Ah Li, are you a reincarnated starving ghost?! Why are you eating so clean?" There wasn't a single crumb left on the table; chicken bones, pork bones, and dried shrimp were all gone, and the plate looked like it had been washed. Gu Lingxi facepalmed. "How am I supposed to tell that brat Ying'er now? Saying I was so hungry I didn't even leave the bones behind—obviously Ying'er won't believe me."

Ahri, who was cleaning her fiery red fur after eating and drinking her fill, noticed Lingxi watching her and happily jumped into Gu Lingxi's arms.

Gu Lingxi, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed its little tail and shook it in the air. "Stop making a fuss! Go eat and drink your fill and go stay in your spatial dimension. Master, I'm going to cultivate!"

The fox, dizzy and disoriented from being shaken, cried out in distress! "Master, master, let go of my tail! I'll be shy! I'm a male!" "Master, you're so mean!"

Speechless, Gu Lingxi tossed it back into her spatial dimension! "Master, come keep Ah Li company! Time flies in this space! Master, come cultivate in this space!" Yes, Ah Li's reminder made Gu Lingxi realize that time flows much faster in this space than in reality! How could she be so stupid! Gu Lingxi slapped her head in frustration! She flashed into the space! The spiritual energy here is abundant, and time is different from outside time! Cultivating here will definitely be twice as effective!

"How many times faster is time here compared to outside?" Ali stared at Gu Lingxi with her round eyes, confused. "Master, what do you mean by 'how many times faster'?" Ali didn't know either! It just seemed to pass very quickly!

Gu Lingxi was speechless. Asking was pointless! She might as well try it out.

After leaving the space, Gu Lingxi found two incense sticks, lit one, and placed it on the incense burner. She put the other one into the space. After the incense in the space burned out, Gu Lingxi flashed out and saw that only one-tenth of the incense outside had burned. Ten hours inside the space were only one hour outside, and a month inside the space was only three days outside. This was quite good; she could do many things this way.
