Chapter 1552: 1552 sleep talking wife 3

Gongsun Qianru really wanted to give Xiao Yuchuan a few hard slaps in the face. As the legitimate daughter of a first-class family and famed as the most beautiful woman in the world, how could it not make people laugh out loud if her husband harbored feelings for someone else?

She would wrest Xiao Yuchuan’s heart from his chest and make him unable to live without her!

Even though she felt like killing someone, particularly that vile Su Qingyue who enticed men, she still had to maintain the image of a well-bred young lady, graceful and virtuous.

With a sudden movement, she stood up, exuding an intimidating presence.

Her maid Xi’er was so scared that her legs went weak, and she knelt down, "Miss Gongsun, please spare me... Miss Gongsun, please spare me!"

"Why are you kneeling if you’ve done nothing wrong?" Gongsun Qianru said in a gentle and amiable tone.

Xi’er cautiously looked up at her, sure she’d seen a murderous rage in her eyes just moments before. She feared that she, a mere servant girl, might become the victim of her master’s wrath, "Miss Gongsun..."

"Stand up," Gongsun Qianru said, aware that her sudden change of facial expression had frightened the maid. She personally helped her up, "Xi’er, I just lost my composure a moment ago."

Xi’er was flattered and surprised, "Miss Gongsun, if you are displeased, it is due to my inadequate service."

"You are a considerate maid," Gongsun Qianru said with a somber face, "I was just upset because I heard my future husband utter another woman’s name, and it hurt my feelings..."

Xi’er knew how deeply the young Master loved Su Qingyue, mumbling her name even in his dreams. She couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Gongsun Qianru, "Miss Gongsun, you are so beautiful, even I am moved by your beauty, and I believe once the young Master comes to, he will surely like you."

"Really?"

"Really," Xi’er said, not entirely sure but slyly agreeing.

Gongsun Qianru took out a ten-tael silver ingot from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Xi’er. As Xi’er was about to refuse, she said, "It’s a reward for you, from now on, you must take even better care of Brother Chuan."

"Yes," Xi’er accepted the money with joy. She had originally thought Miss Gongsun was giving her the silver for something she had to do; it turned out to be reward money. It seemed Miss Gongsun truly had a kind heart. Having benefited from her generosity, Xi’er began to dislike the unseen Su Qingyue.

Gongsun Qianru was not giving out money for no reason; giving a small reward now meant that if she were to ask Xi’er to be her spy directly, it would likely be met with resistance. If she were to give out a few more rewards and show some kindness a few more times, winning over the maid would be a simple matter, especially considering her role in serving closely by Xiao Yuchuan’s side. There would be plenty of opportunities to make use of her in the future.

In the East Garden of the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Chonghuan had just finished dealing with the mansion’s affairs and was sitting at a table inside the room, taking a rest.

"Master, Gongsun Qianru insists on staying, and with Chuan’er continuously unconscious, I fear it may not be appropriate..." Shen Yun’s brows were furrowed with worry.

Xiao Chonghuan also felt a bit of a headache, "If Chuan’er awakens and learns that he is about to get married to Gongsun Qianru, he is likely to strongly oppose it. If he remains unconscious, and Gongsun Qianru starts to suspect, it won’t be easy to explain to the Gongsun Family."

"We did assure them that it was Chuan’er who took the initiative to propose an immediate marriage to Miss Gongsun..." The worry lines on Shen Yun’s forehead seemed to deepen.

"Let’s delay for a day or two," Xiao Chonghuan didn’t have a better solution at the moment, "Perhaps after living here for a day or two, Gongsun Qianru, seeing that Chuan’er has not awoken, might decide to return to the Gongsun Mansion on her own."

"That makes sense."

...

In the side room of the South Garden in the evening, Gongsun Qianru’s personal maid Xia He reported respectfully, "Young Lady, I have retrieved your fresh clothing, and they have been placed in the West Garden."
