Chapter 443: Itching for Princess Consort of Lord Ling

Zhou Huailing ceased his steps.

He frowned as he looked at Gu Ruxue – didn’t the Gu Mansion hire anyone to teach her manners?

She was just a woman in the backyard who was unable to sleep with him because of her current health, so of course he was going to visit other people. Did she think that a Lord like him should stay in the room and keep her company? Even the Princess Consort of Lord Ling did not dare to make this request.

Zhou Huailing would have snapped at her, if not for her identity, but considering that Gu Ruxue was the Phoenix Girl, he swallowed down his displeasure.

He said quietly, “You can have a good sleep now, and ask the servants to help you when you need anything.”

As he finished saying these words, he opened the door and left directly.

Gu Ruxue had a very complicated expression on her face. The Lord was not keeping her company when she was feeling unwell! Where was he going?

To the Princess Consort of Lord Ling? Or the Princess Concubine?

Gu Ruxue had her fists clenched – okay, Princess Consort of Lord Ling and Princess Concubine! She was going to make them disappear.

Zhou Huailing had no idea what Gu Ruxue was thinking. After he left the wedding room, he suddenly felt very relieved. Zhou Huailing had so many women around him, he did not have to care if Gu Ruxue was innocent or not.

He started to think, and then he thought of the Princess Consort.

The Princess Consort was General Liu’s daughter, serious and well-behaved. He used to have no feelings towards her. He married her only for her father’s military power, but after he left Gu Ruxue’s room, he somehow thought of the Princess Consort and felt that he somehow had some feelings for her.

That woman might be a serious one, yet she was well-behaved and married him as an innocent woman, nobly-born as well.

That was the kind of woman Zhou Huailing deserved to have. So he started to head towards the Princess Consort’s yard in a happy mood.

No changes had happened to the yard, with few servants. No one was around at the moment, so he walked into the room of his own accord. The maid waiting at the door looked totally surprised at the sight of Zhou Huailing. “Lord!”

Zhou Huailing nodded.

Since he started to have some feelings towards the Princess Consort, he found this maid not that annoying any more. He nodded, pushed the door open and walked in.

The Princess Consort was in the middle of reading a book.

Hearing someone walking in, she thought that it was her maid Shao. Instead of looking up, she said, “Shao, is the warm water ready?”

Zhou Huailing did not answer her, but walked straight to her side.

The Princess Consort noticed that something weird was going on, so she looked up only to see Zhou Huailing’s face right in front of her. She became startled and the next second, Zhou Huailing already came to her side directly.

The Princess Consort took a step backwards, keeping a distance between them.

Zhou Huailing was used to her behavior, so he took hold of the book and asked in confusion, “Isn’t this the Princess Concubine’s book?”

The Princess Consort had an uncomfortable look on her face. She had no intention of answering his question, but asked with a serious posture. “Lord, aren’t you supposed to be at the new Princess Consort’s room? What are you doing here?”

“Just don’t mention it.” Zhou Huailing got annoyed.

“Whatever the reason is, you are supposed to be at her place on the wedding day.” The Princess Consort reminded him with a serious tone.

That made Zhou Huailing even more distressed.

Zhou Huailing felt quite itching for the Princess Consort who looked serious and who had a snowy-white neck. He had not liked the way she behaved, so he failed to notice how pretty she was!

He swept her into his arms, making a move to try to kiss her.

The Princess Consort pushed him away subconsciously, frowning deeply.

Zhou Huailing got very furious when pushed – did she hate him?

Whatever… he went forward and pushed her down on the table, while the Princess Consort struggled hard.
