Chapter 447: Chapter 306: Rather Die Than Live Without a Handso Man
Borjigin Nian’s eyes widened with shock at the words, and she asked in disbelief, “What did you say? What did you just say? I must still be ill, that’s why I’m experiencing illusory hearing!”
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng sat up with the quilt, looking at Borjigin Nian with utmost seriousness, and repeated word by word, “I said your senior brother is a peeping Tom!”
“Oh…”
With that response, Borjigin Nian lay on the bed, her mouth agape in shock.
Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but roll her eyes at this, reaching out to close her gaping mouth, “What kind of expression is that? Is it so unbelievable? I’m telling the absolute truth!”
Damn it, she had witnessed it with her own eyes!
“A normal expression!” Borjigin Nian snapped back to her senses, and dropped four words emphatically as if looking at an idiot, indignantly said, “Gu Changsheng, have you lost your mind? Who are you calling a peeping Tom?”
“What kind of person my senior brother is, everyone in the Four Kingdoms knows he’s the Undefeated War God Zhou Mu, the Jade Tree of Qiong Branch of Great Zhou, shining bright and outstanding, His Highness Prince Mu. And you dare to slander him by calling him a peeping Tom! Aren’t you afraid of provoking public outrage?”
Borjigin Nian spoke with righteous indignation as if she would have a showdown with Gu Changsheng if she weren’t laid up with illness.
Now it was Gu Changsheng who was dumbstruck. She moved closer to Borjigin Nian with the quilt and, with disbelief, pointed a finger at herself, “I slandered him? What slander did I utter against him?”
“Why do you think I would leave my own intricately carved bed and co to your room to share a bed with you? It’s because your esteed Jade Tree of Qiong Branch, shining bright and outstanding senior brother, didn’t sleep in the middle of the night but stood by my window like a pillar to peep, making it impossible for to sleep!”
“Damn it, how would I slander him without reason? The facts speak louder than words; your senior brother is a peeping Tom!”
Gu Changsheng’s voice didn’t try to hide her accusation and was resoundingly emphatic.
“Thump!”
“Thump!”
Two sounds in succession could be heard.
Gu Changsheng turned her head in anger to look outside.
Ning Er crawled out from behind the pillar in the dark, his face pale as he t the piercing gazes of two pairs of eyes on the bed, not knowing how to start speaking.
“My lady…”
Si Xi, carrying the washing items, got up from the doorway with a face wanting to cry but with no tears…
What had he just heard?
His master a peeping Tom?
Godfather! This must be slander! How could his master be a peeping Tom?
Lady Changsheng, what kind of madness has she conjured up this ti?
“Eyes and ears where they shouldn’t be, Ning Er and Xiao Si Xi, is it really good for you two to eavesdrop like this from behind?” Gu Changsheng glared at them indignantly.
Damn it, what were those expressions for? What was that reaction just now?
Why did they look as if they had seen a ghost and were scared out of their wits?
Did she say sothing wrong? She was clearly stating the facts!
“Milord, it is our duty to protect you at all tis. We ask for your understanding,” Ning Er finally regained his ability to speak and explained earnestly.
While he spoke earnestly, Ning Er’s heart was tossing and turning, just like Si Xi’s.
Godfather! His master had rely co to visit Lady Changsheng yesterday, how did that turn into being a peeping Tom?
Fortunate that Lady Changsheng hadn’t gotten out of bed, for it was her, a lady, who was hidden and serving by her side; had it been Kun Nu, that big fellow, who knows if a fright like that would have punched a big hole in the floor…
Lady Changsheng, she really knew how to slander people!
“Duty? Isn’t your duty to be as invisible as possible? An invisible man still tripping over, Ning Er, I seriously question your ability as a Hidden Guard; this is simply too clumsy!” Gu Changsheng laughed disdainfully without hesitation.
Don’t think she didn’t see their expressions!
When all was said and done, they were from the sa country as Zhou Mu, that evildoer!
Thinking of how Zhou Mu had irritated her last night, leaving her unable to sleep, Gu Changsheng’s face soured.
“My lady…” Si Xi stepped forward with the washing basin, calling out tentatively.
“Alright, alright, go stand aside, don’t you put on that bitter face in front of and cause more trouble!” Gu Changsheng said as she waved her hand impatiently, their expressions truly were a blow to her, a person speaking the truth.
Si Xi, who had initially wanted to speak well of his lord, could only ekly acknowledge and withdraw to one side upon hearing her words.
As a servant, even if you have a thousand words in your heart, if your master doesn’t let you speak, then you can’t speak.
But in Si Xi’s heart, she was screaming: My master is not a voyeur! He’s not! Not! Not!
However, Gu Changsheng clearly did not have the ti to care about what they were thinking in their hearts, she was urgently in need of finding soone to talk to about the unfair treatnt she had suffered last night.
And her newly minted friend, who had gone through life and death with her, Borjigin Nian, was undoubtedly the best choice.
She had to get Borjigin Nian on her side!
“Nian, you have no idea how out of line your senior brother is. He wasn’t sleeping last night, instead, he lurked outside my window to peep and when I caught him, he just pretended to be all gloomy. He ignored when I spoke to him, and when I touched his arm, he even dodged away!” Gu Changsheng recounted her plight with a face full of deep-seated resentnt, “Tell if that’s not over the top. He dodged! Just sidestepped away!”
Borjigin Nian lay on the bed stiff as a mummy, blinked her long eyelashes upon hearing this, blinked again, and then naturally replied, “Isn’t that normal? My senior brother has always been distant and cold, he never likes anyone getting close!”
“Haven’t you heard? Once, a concubine from Great Zhou just wanted to pinch my senior brother’s cheek and, in a fit of rage, he beheaded her right on the spot.”
Si Xi heard this and quickly nodded in agreent. Yes, yes, that did happen! He was there at the ti!
The concubine had a needle hidden in her hand with ill intentions, and his master killed her on the spot. But with his master’s cold and aloof nature, he didn’t even bother to explain in the end and just let the officials impeach him until the whole issue was dropped…
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng glared angrily, “Scary! Borjigin Nian! What exactly are you implying? Are you saying, dammit, that I should feel incredibly honored to be alive after touching him?”
“Damn it, how about him touching all the ti?”
Shit! So it’s okay for Zhou Mu to touch her because he’s an official, but when she touches Zhou Mu, it’s suddenly not okay?!
Is there any treaty in this world more arrogantly unequal than this?
Gu Changsheng declared, she would not accept this lying down!
“Um…” Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian raised her uninjured hand, and with a defeated expression, rubbed her nose, asking faintly, “Gu Changsheng, do you an to say my senior brother has taken the initiative to touch you? That he is very close to you?”
At that question, Gu Changsheng, with a ferocious look, countered, “What do you think?”
Realizing this, Borjigin Nian imdiately understood, her eyes widening in shock, indignantly accusing, “Showing off your love will get you killed quickly! I was thinking, if I can’t find soone better than my senior brother, I might co back and rekindle the old fla!”
Her reserved and handso senior brother had gotten so close to her best friend!
Borjigin Nian felt incapable of accepting this! She was a little bit hurt!
“How am I showing off love?” Gu Changsheng pointed at herself, then at Borjigin Nian, “I’m telling you, there’s nothing between your senior brother and , it’s crystal clear, very pure and ambiguous, no real stuff, understand?”
Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian instantly turned from sorrow to joy, “Then you an I still have a chance?”
“No!” Gu Changsheng interrupted Borjigin Nian’s delusional hope without hesitation, answering with lightning speed.
“You’re still denying you’re showing off love! Gu Changsheng, now I see, you slander my senior brother as a voyeur just to highlight how much he cares about you, using it to crush my truly pure heart!” Borjigin Nian complained, pouting.
It seed like she had made a friend who was quite scheming!
Gu Changsheng seed smarter than her!
Boo!
The mont Gu Changsheng heard this, she imdiately got riled up, annoyed, she plunged onto Borjigin Nian, scratching her head in agony, howling in frustration, “Borjigin Nian! I’ve told you, I didn’t slander him! I didn’t!”
While speaking, Gu Changsheng climbed off Borjigin Nian, stretched out a finger toward her, and said in a grave voice, “Try to change the subject again, and which nation do you belong to?”
“Whichever country has the handso guys, I’m from there!” Borjigin Nian answered without hesitation, not at all ashad, but rather wearing a look of pride.
“Am I not beautiful?” Gu Changsheng felt a twitch at the corner of her mouth upon hearing this.
“You’re a woman! I like handso n, gender: male!”
Now, not just the corner of Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched, but also the corners of her eyes began to quiver, as she shakily pointed at Borjigin Nian, stuttering, “You… you! Can… can we not play happily anymore? Borjigin Nian, you’re the Princess of the Northern Mongolian! Princess, do you understand? Have you no dignity? No integrity? Can we not be so obsessed with the opposite sex and ignore our own?”
Upon hearing that, Borjigin Nian shook her head as if it were a rattle-drum, adamantly replying, “I don’t get it! What is dignity and integrity? Can you eat them? Only you Han people would awkwardly care about those pointless things! Without a handso man, I’d rather die. That’s how it is!”
Gu Changsheng gaped at Borjigin Nian, speechless, and imdiately beca as rigid as a mummy.
She had truly begun to understand this odd Princess of the Northern Mongolian. It turned out her definition of odd wasn’t odd enough; the true oddity was far more speechless than she had anticipated!
“Borjigin Nian, let’s end our friendship!”
It took a while for Gu Changsheng to fully realize that she absolutely could not have a pleasant conversation with Borjigin Nian, let alone talk about her problems; it was a blessing she didn’t add to her troubles!
“End our friendship? Why?” Borjigin Nian asked.
“Because you’re obsessed with guys and have no friends!”
“Um… let think about it…”
