Chapter 405: Chapter 272: Never Say Die Chapter 405: Chapter 272: Never Say Die “””

Huo Shuixian had already moved from the Guest Garden of Prince Mu’s Mansion to the Paulownia Pavilion.

Phoenix Resting Courtyard, as the servants of the County Prince’s Mansion said, the Paulownia Pavilion was specially built for Brother Mu’s Princess Consort. Yet now, it was her, Huo Shuixian, who resided within.

Clutching the Jiaowei Zither in her arms and looking at her accompanying house servants, all smiling as if bathed in a Spring Breeze, Huo Shuixian also felt her mood significantly brighten.

“This maid congratulates Miss for getting her heart’s desire!” Ru Ge, with a face full of joy, offered her congratulations.

“Congratulations, Miss!” The other maids also hastened to follow suit with their congratulations.

Huo Shuixian smiled sweetly and nodded lightly as a response.

Only when the maids had dispersed, leaving just Ru Yu and Ru Ge in the room, did Huo Shuixian drop the image of elegance and virtue and burst out laughing.

“Brother Mu is mine! He belongs to me, Huo Shuixian! Gu Changsheng, you lowlife, I want to see what you can do to compete with me now!”

Thinking of Gu Changsheng, Huo Shuixian couldn’t help but grind her teeth.

That woman, who had a past with her Brother Mu, made her blood boil with rage every time she thought of her, wishing she could flay her skin and dismember her body!

“Why should Miss bother with her? She’s just an ordinary Abandoned Wife. Hasn’t His Highness Prince Mu already lost interest and come to his senses?” Ru Ge, who always knew how to curry favor, quickly spoke up to advise.

Hearing this, Ru Yu, standing to the side, snorted coldly and glanced at Ru Ge with disdain, then raised her hand to touch her shoulder. The arrow wound was healing, the pain as if clawing at her heart, constantly reminding her of the humiliation she suffered at the Medical Hall.

“Now that His Highness Prince Mu has had a change of heart, he certainly won’t protect that lowlife anymore. It’s the perfect time for us to take revenge!” A sinister light flashed in Ru Yu’s eyes, mirroring that of Huo Shuixian’s.

At these words, Huo Shuixian’s expression darkened instantaneously.

Ru Yu had been injured by an arrow through her shoulder blade, but the humiliation Huo Shuixian had suffered was even worse!

That woman had almost ruined her reputation and had made her lose face in public time and again! Huo Shuixian was determined to fight with her until the end!

“I want to see how, without Brother Mu to back her, that lowlife has any grounds to fight me!” Huo Shuixian spoke while gazing at the Jiaowei Zither placed on the table.

Now, it was she, Huo Shuixian, who had Brother Mu’s support!

God’s Bless Huo Shuixian, the vision of auspiciousness descended upon her, granting her the status of the Mandated Noble Lady. If she failed to make good use of it, wouldn’t she be letting down heaven’s arrangement?

“I will return the humiliation I have received, doubled!” Huo Shuixian’s face was as dark as ink, her eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty glint.

Seeing this, Ru Ge felt uneasy, cautiously stepping forward and advising timidly, “Miss, in a couple of days Nanny Xu will arrive in Liuzhou City. Shouldn’t we wait for Nanny Xu before making any plans?”

Upon hearing this, Ru Yu immediately glowered at Ru Ge with malice, “How are you even more cowardly and afraid of trouble than I am? It used to be forgivable, but now that our young lady has regained the heart of His Highness Prince Mu, do we still need to fear that lowlife?”

“To think that Nanny Xu would need to lift a finger against that lowlife Gu Changsheng? It’s simply overkill. What a waste of resource!”

Upon hearing Ru Yu’s words, Ru Ge, red-faced with anger, retorted, “You! Don’t you instigate Miss. Just because Gu Changsheng injured you, you hold a grudge and encourage Miss in this way. If things go wrong, I wonder how you’ll manage the aftermath!”

“Botch things? How so? Without His Highness Prince Mu as her backer, that lowlife Gu Changsheng is nothing! If we don’t seek revenge now, when will we?” Upon hearing this, Ru Yu immediately rebuked angrily.

“Have you lost all sense of decorum?”

Huo Shuixian frowned and scolded sharply, giving her two personal maids a displeased look.

Ru Yu was timid and fearful, but she harbored deep grudges and resentments. Ru Ge was meticulous and good at flattering, but always timid and indecisive.

“I don’t need Ru Yu to instigate me to seek revenge on that lowlife,” Huo Shuixian opined, her face cold and her eyes ablaze as she addressed her attendants, “In my life, I, Huo Shuixian, have never suffered such humiliation. If I don’t take revenge myself, it will forever be a great regret in my heart!”

“I want to ruin her reputation, repay blood with blood, and leave no trace of her bones!”

Huo Shuixian ground her teeth and spoke emphatically.

Seeing this, Ru Ge knew it was pointless to say more, and merely lowered her head in agreement.

Ru Yu, satisfied as if her own wishes had been fulfilled, couldn’t wait to seek out Gu Changsheng’s misfortune.

…

After a good night’s sleep, Gu Changsheng woke up feeling exceptionally refreshed.

“Gu Changsheng! How are you still not up? The sun is shining on your ass!” Accompanied by this shout, a series of aggressive knocks sounded at the door.

“Ah!”

Gu Changsheng groaned in agony, clutching her head.

Borjigin Nian!

So early in the morning and he was already at her door raising hell!

“Gu Changsheng, you better get up. There’s someone shouting in the front yard; your housekeeper has already gone over there,” Borjigin Nian said, while continuing to pound on the door.

Someone shouting in the front yard?

Could it be a patient?

“””

Gu Changsheng somersaulted out of bed and frantically called out, “Xiao Si Xi! Xiao Si Xi! Come help me do my hair!”

Thinking of doing her hair gave Gu Changsheng a headache!

She didn’t know how! At most, she could just braid a twist!

“Stop shouting, Xiao Si Xi has gone with your steward. It seems like quite a tricky situation has arisen in the front yard,” Borjigin Nian said.

Gu Changsheng was startled by Borjigin Nian’s words before Xiao Si Xi could arrive.

Tricky situation?

What did that mean? Could someone really be so bold as to cause trouble at her medical hall?

That shouldn’t be…

“Wait for me, I’ll be ready right away,” Gu Changsheng said as she quickly changed into her clothes and sat in front of the dressing table.

There was no way she would go out with her hair down! Dong Lei would chastise her severely for not caring about her appearance!

Gu Changsheng rummaged through her jewelry box and still picked up the red forehead ornament.

Since she got this ornament, Gu Changsheng had never been without it.

A red dress with a touch of red on her forehead became her signature look.

Swiftly tying back her hair at the temples, Gu Changsheng secured it with a red brocade rope and put on the forehead ornament…

Then, in a hurry, she checked herself in the bronze mirror. This way, it wasn’t exactly with her hair down, right?

Whether it was or not, she had no time to care about such details at the moment; Gu Changsheng quickly unlatched the door bolt and walked out.

Borjigin Nian idly flicked her long whip until she saw Gu Changsheng emerge, then her face broke into a smile and she said, “You’re finally up! There’s someone picking a fight at your house!”

“They’re not here to seek medical help?” Gu Changsheng asked as she walked toward the front yard.

Borjigin Nian hugged Gu Changsheng’s arm familiarly, batting her profound eyes, “No! Which family seeking medical help would bang on the door early in the morning and speak rudely?”

Hearing her words, Gu Changsheng’s frown deepened.

Damn, there really was someone not afraid to die, daring to cause trouble at her Longevity Medical Hall!

The shade from the tree, the name of the person; could it be that they haven’t heard of her, Gu Changsheng’s, reputation?

“Do you know who the visitor is?” Gu Changsheng quickened her pace as she asked.

Borjigin Nian kept an even pace with Gu Changsheng and casually replied, “It seems to be a lady leading two maids. I only glanced from afar before coming back to wake you.”

At this, Gu Changsheng’s eyes suddenly widened.

“Gu Changsheng, do you have a grudge against them? They don’t seem easy to deal with from their looks. You didn’t see how arrogantly that beauty was behaving…” Borjigin Nian complained as she spoke, “Your mansion is really too big… It’s almost as large as a royal mansion!”

At this moment, Gu Changsheng couldn’t bother with her complaints. A million thoughts raced through her mind!

“I think I know who it is…” Gu Changsheng said as she passed the gate to her sleeping quarters, the corners of her mouth twitching.

“Who?”

“The number one beauty under heaven, the top talented lady of the Capital City, Huo Shuixian from the Grand Tutor’s Mansion of Great Zhou!” Gu Changsheng explained as she walked.

“Ah! I know! It’s the woman engaged to your senior brother, right?” Borjigin Nian hugged Gu Changsheng’s arm tightly, excitedly saying, “I heard she’s so beautiful she doesn’t seem human, but I only looked at her from a distance and didn’t pay much attention!”

“Gu Changsheng, you really do have a big feud with her! You and my senior brother are close, and obviously, she’s come for him – this is a rivalry over a husband!”

“No wonder Miss Huo came to make trouble at your medical hall!”

Gu Changsheng shot a glance at Borjigin Nian, who seemed too delighted with the situation, and couldn’t help but retort, “What rivalry over a husband? I already told her she could try to snatch him if she dared. It’s fine if she comes to my medical hall once or twice to create a scene, but if she dares to come again and again!”

“Let me tell you, stay away from that woman. She doesn’t look as harmless as she seems – she’s a living narcissus with the schemes of a little bitch!” Gu Changsheng warned her friend, who was too trusting of others.

Borjigin Nian rolled her eyes at those words, “What do you mean by that? I am your friend, and enemies of a friend are my enemies too, how could I possibly get close to her?”

Only then did Gu Changsheng relax and nod, taking Borjigin Nian’s hand and running towards the front yard.

Damn it, they had to move fast, or who knew what chaos had ensued in the front yard by now!

Huo Shuixian had a knack for grabbing attention and sympathy, which Gu Changsheng had experienced several times – a lesson from history!

At this moment, Gu Changsheng felt exceedingly frustrated; her mansion was indeed a bit too large, taking a quarter of an hour to walk from the back to the front yard!

“Damn it! Uncle Song, has your brain been kicked by a donkey? You’re actually going to open the door; aren’t you inviting the wolf into the sheepfold?” Gu Changsheng darted into the medical hall and saw that one of the doors was already open and Uncle Song was about to open the other, so she swiftly interjected.

If the door isn’t opened wide, they’re not welcoming guests, damn it. If that door opens, then that narcissistic little bitch could march right in!

“Gu Changsheng, what do you mean?” Huo Shuixian called out from outside, a water-blue silk scarf half-covering her face. Her beauty was incomparable, and her presence was mysterious and noble, but her eyes were nearly shooting fire.
