The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again! Chapter 165 – 165 I Didn’t Mean to be Mean to You Just Now

165 I Didn’t Mean to be Mean to You Just Now

Madam Qiao frowned worriedly. “I’ve asked people to inquire about the Gu family’s situation. Godmother is worried that they’ll bully you. Xue’er, godmother knows that you don’t seek power, but godmother loves you dearly and is willing to support you. Otherwise, how will you be able to establish yourself in Jing City?”

“Godmother, I don’t plan to continue staying in Jing City. I’ll bring Xiao Lin and the others back tomorrow morning,” Gu Qingxue explained when she saw Madam Qiao’s surprise, “Godmother, I don’t like disputes over power. I just want to live a carefree life with my children.”

Madam Qiao was even more impressed by Gu Qingxue’s words, “Godmother has underestimated you. “Alright, since you want to do this, godmother will definitely support you. However, don’t forget that the imperial duke’s manor will always be your home. If anyone bullies you, godmother will definitely support you.”

Gu Qingxue nodded and said with a smile, “Godfather’s injuries will be healed in ten days. After he recuperates for a few more days, he can come to me for the next step of treatment. At that time, we will be able to meet again.”

Madam Qiao agreed happily. She pulled Gu Qingxue to understand how to take care of the imperial duke’s manor before personally sending her off.

After sending Gu Qingxue off, Madam Qiao returned to her room and personally took care of the imperial duke’s manor.

Imperial Duke Zhan’s expression was one of pain. Due to the pain, he was sweating profusely.

Madam Qiao tirelessly used a clean towel soaked in water to help him wipe his body.

Imperial Duke Zhan seemed to have regained his consciousness in a daze. He ordered in a hoarse voice, “Zhu Ren, get me some water.”

Madam Qiao reminded him softly, “Xue’er told me before she left that you can only drink water after midnight. Bear with it for a while.”

Imperial Duke Zhan, who was still in a daze, suddenly heard Madam Qiao’s voice. He opened his eyes abruptly and subconsciously wanted to sit up. “Yi’er, how could you…”

“I’ve been married to you for more than twenty years. How could I not see that you’re hiding something from me?” Madam Qiao pressed down on Imperial Duke Zhan and did not let him get up. “Don’t move. Xue’er said that you’ll have a hard time tonight. Bear with it for now. I’ll accompany you.”

Imperial Duke Zhan could not drink water because of the anesthetic. His mouth was dry and his tongue parched. He looked at Madam Qiao with a perturbed expression. “I, I didn’t mean to scold you just now…”

Madam Qiao, “Yes, I understand.”

Imperial Duke Zhan lowered his head. “I didn’t mean to hide it from you either. I was afraid that you’d be worried.”

Madam Qiao took a deep breath. Under Imperial Duke Zhan’s nervous gaze, she said, “I won’t allow it in the future.”

Imperial Duke Zhan heaved a sigh of relief and nodded his head as if he was pounding garlic. He agreed, “Of course, I’ll listen to you.”

Perhaps it was because he had let go of the huge rock hanging in his heart, Imperial Duke Zhan held onto Madam Qiao’s hand. However, he resisted the urge to sleep.

Madam Qiao dipped her handkerchief into the warm water and dabbed it on the skin of Imperial Duke Zhan’s lips. She gently comforted him, “Rest well, I won’t leave.”

The anesthetic of Imperial Duke Zhan was not completely gone yet. Hearing her words, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, Gu Qingxue saw that it was already past noon. After leaving the imperial duke’s manor, she bought a few meat buns from the vendors on the road. While eating, she walked to the prince regent’s manor.

After Gu Qingxue finished eating, she walked to the door of the prince regent’s manor.

The guards of the prince regent’s manor had known Gu Qingxue for a long time. When they saw her enter, no one dared to stop her.

However, these guards seemed to be hesitant to speak today, and they looked at Gu Qingxue with a different expression. They seemed to be worried, and they were even discussing something behind her back.

Gu Qingxue did not like the feeling of being talked about behind her back. She looked at those guards, but they immediately stopped talking, pretending as if nothing had happened. They just stood straight and guarded the gate.
