If my cousin ntioned to his friend, does it an he still likes ...?
Qiu Xue, only realizing afterward, noticed she misspoke and covered her mouth awkwardly, saying, "I really shouldn’t have said that..."
"Dear sister, just say it, no harm." Now, Wenjing had completely regarded Qiu Xue as a confidante, without any guard in her heart.
"But if your cousin finds out..." Qiu Xue was even more full of doubts.
"No, absolutely not! I swear, only heaven, earth, you, and I know about this, not a third person."
It was quite coincidental; what Qiu Xue needed was exactly this promise. She wouldn’t do sothing thankless; if Wenjing went around talking nonsense and dragged her into it, the situation wouldn’t be good.
"That’s better... I’m afraid by then your cousin will complain about , and... these things, he didn’t have anywhere else to say either, it’s just that I knew a little more..."
This was her indirectly telling Wenjing that if she wanted to get information in the future, she must not betray her, otherwise, it wouldn’t be good for either of them.
Wenjing couldn’t grasp the twists and turns in this, and obediently nodded.
Seeing this, Qiu Xue felt a lot more at ease, and said, "Back then, I heard your cousin say... he said you were generous, innocent, and lovely, childhood friends with him, very close."
"That’s right..." Whether self-deception or forced acknowledgnt, Wenjing stubbornly accepted this complint.
Qiu Xue sneered inwardly, filled with sarcasm, but did not show it on her face, saying, "If it weren’t for Gu Tong’s appearance, it might have been you with him... but there’s nothing to be done, after all, he owes Gu Wangjue a favor..."
She was quite scheming, always stopping halfway in her words, never spilling the details. She only ntioned the word "favor," but did not elaborate at all.
The young girl’s imagination was vast, better to let her fill in the blanks. By then, it would probably be much more exciting than Qiu Xue’s narration.
This was what was called a psychological tactic, and it was a talent Qiu Xue was born with!
Wenjing’s eyes turned red, as if it were just as she thought, that her cousin had no other choice.
Perhaps he’s cold to now just to protect ...
"Why does my cousin have to settle... we can fight back; as long as we catch Gu Tong’s mistakes, surely they can divorce..."
Qiu Xue secretly thought she was brainless, no wonder she was bullied by Gu Tong like this. If it were Qiu Xue, she might not survive a single round.
"Silly girl, you’re also a nurse at Royal Hospital, you should know that marriage is not that easy to leave, besides, Gu Tong’s father is a Prince, with many past connections for sure."
"You say... if things get too ugly... how would it end... I fear even Li Yan, this Earl, won’t hold onto his position."
This was also the real reason Qiu Xue hadn’t acted for so long. The Qiu Family and Gu Family could never have a conflict! At the very least, maintaining surface harmony was necessary.
"This..." Neither horizontal nor vertical works, is there any better way?
Wenjing was so anxious she was about to cry.
Qiu Xue always looked down on people like this, who could only solve problems with tears and could never achieve anything significant, saying, "You can only bla your bad luck, and the lack of fate, so you missed it..."
"There’s really no other way with this matter, ultimately you can only co to terms softly. Let’s hope Gu Tong doesn’t beco pregnant in these years, for if she gives Li Yan a child, divorce would be impossible."
