After the delicate beauty salted fish, the sick and weak prince kicked the door to coax

Chapter 16
Even though King Ning was so intelligent, he couldn't understand why she suddenly mentioned her slap.

"Why so powerful?" Ning Wang asked patiently.

"It's...it's nothing, I must have made a mistake." Gu Xi came back to his senses and quickly waved his hand.

This matter involves the system and cannot be explained, so Gu Xi can only vaguely mention it.

She also realized that the slap in the face that the system said was not the same as the slap in the face she thought.

Moreover, the system also emphasized that in order to stimulate her enthusiasm, some rewards have been distributed, allowing her to explore on her own.

Gu Xi couldn't help looking around, wanting to see where the reward was placed, but couldn't find it for a while, and explained to King Ning,

"I just thought that I lost a bottle of medicine and I need to look for it."

Naturally, King Ning didn't believe her excuses, but he didn't ask, swallowed the bitter soup, handed her the medicine bowl, and thanked her gently.

But right after he put his arm on the quilt, he suddenly bumped into a small hard object, which he felt was a small porcelain bottle.

King Ning, "..."

King Ning took out the small bottle from under the quilt, and said in a low tone, "You want to find it?"

Gu Xi got up from the chair again in shock, her voice was astringent and weak,
"Yes, yes, I said why I couldn't find it. It must have fallen on the bed when I was applying medicine to the prince yesterday."

Damn the system today!
How could it hide the medicine bottle in King Ning's bed!
It's better to put it under her ass!

In such a strange situation, how could such a wise and sensitive person as King Ning not doubt it!
Gu Xi suspects again that the real master of this system is actually King Ning, she is just a tool person being used.

"Oh? The one left behind yesterday. Then put it away and pay attention next time."

King Ning handed it to her and said meaningfully.

Although he couldn't see it, King Ning was sure that the little bottle wasn't on his bed before, but he didn't notice when it got under his bed.

It seems to appear suddenly.

Very weird.

So profound, unpredictable, even more powerful than his master.

Could it be that she is also a member of the Taoist sect? !

King Ning found that the more he got along with her, the more he couldn't see through her.

Gu Xi knew from his tone that he didn't believe it, so she took the medicine bottle bravely, "Sorry, I disturbed the prince."

He simply didn't ask, and Gu Xi was slightly relieved, and also chose to play dumb.

Otherwise, she really doesn't know how to make it up to make King Ning believe it.

"It doesn't matter, it should be because you saw that this king was too upset, so you forgot about it." Ning Wang smiled and teased her.

"Ahem, my lord was joking, and I'm not upset, I'm just a little bit worried that someone will find out that my lord is with me." Gu Xi laughed.

This is the first time I feel that King Ning's gentleness and elegance are appearances, but his temperament is actually a bit dark and vicious.

Ning Wang smiled, thinking it was fun to tease her, but unfortunately he couldn't see her expression, otherwise it would be more interesting.

Gu Xi took the small medicine bottle, squeezed it tightly in embarrassment, and bid farewell to King Ning, "My lord is still weak, and I need to rest well, so I won't bother you here."

King Ning pursed his lips, answered, and let her go.

He really wanted to know Gu Xi's secret.

But King Ning knew very well that this was not the time to inquire and persecute, and asking too many questions would only make Gu Xi more defensive against him.

It didn't help his plans to keep her by his side.

When she is willing to stay by his side, it doesn't matter so much whether she knows the secrets about her, since he has used them anyway.

After leaving the room, Gu Xi couldn't wait to call out the system again, check the face-slapping task, and asked the system bluntly if the face-slapping task wasn't a slap in the face.

[It's terrible to be uneducated. Of course, the slap in the face doesn't mean you slap her directly, it's you who embarrass her.]

The system finally knew where the problem was. It turned out that Gu Xi misunderstood it.

It jumps up and down immediately, teaching Gu Xi not to be an idiot beauty, but to read more, learn more, and be a talented woman.

As the most talented woman in the capital, Gu Xi, "..."

Her essays and strategies were praised even by the current imperial tutor, and even praised her as the number one scholar, but it is a pity that she is a daughter.

This is the first time she has been scolded as an idiot, and it feels a little strange.

Gu Xi rubbed his brows in displeasure when he thought of the messy words the system used when releasing tasks.

She didn't argue with it about this trivial matter, she only told herself to ask clearly next time.

Knowing that this slap in the face was not a direct slap, but meant to embarrass people, Gu Xi was completely relieved, thinking that it was easy.

Now what makes Gu Xi curious is, what did Gu Rong do to feel ashamed when she didn't do anything? !
Moreover, it is really strange that the system will judge her to be ashamed.

Gu Xi thought for a moment, and asked Chun Zhi and the others to prepare the carriage, and she wanted to go back to the city.
-
Just talk about Gu Rong, she is very depressed now!
In the few days since she came to the Hou's mansion, she found that everyone in the Hou's mansion, from the master to the servant, was full of praise for the fake daughter Gu Xi.

Especially the servants in the mansion, even if they know that Gu Xi is not from the blood of the Marquis Mansion, they still mention her respectfully, without any slight of contempt.

After holding back for a few days, she only made a move today to win over Qian Mama, who is in charge of the kitchen, but she deliberately put down her body to get close and bribe her, but it didn't work at all!
Mother Qian politely declined the nobile she offered, and didn't give her any favors!
She sent Mama Qian away, but she was still not reconciled, so she found Steward Li, who was in charge of the property of the Hou Mansion, and wanted to win him over.

But it still doesn't work!
Manager Li seemed to be respectful to her, but in fact he didn't like her at all. He opened his mouth and shut up the young lady, so he almost said that he was born as Gu Xi's person and died as Gu Xi's ghost.

Gu Rong felt her face was swollen from the beating.

In just a few days, Gu Rong deeply felt that the Hou Mansion has been run by Gu Xi like an iron bucket.

This made it difficult for her to understand. Gu Xi is not a daughter of the Hou family, which means that she is no longer the serious master of the Hou family. These servants are the most stalking, why should they respect her?

Later, Gu Rong got a vague answer from Fei Cui, her personal maid.

It turned out that Gu Xi had been helping Mrs. Hou's housekeeping since three years ago, and under her management, the treatment of the people in the Hou's mansion has improved a lot.

The money has more than doubled, and more clothes, rewards and other benefits have been handed out.

There is even a chance to go out from the mansion to work as a manager in the property of the Hou Mansion outside.

Before her life experience was exposed, Gu Xi had long been the actual housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, and all the servants in the mansion respected her, loved her, and liked to work under her hands.

If Gu Xi is gone, it may mean returning to the past, and these will not be there anymore. Naturally, the servants are not happy.

After learning about this reason, Gu Rong became more and more aware that Gu Xi, a fake daughter, is not easy.

This also gave Gu Rong a deep sense of crisis!
