Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Da Qiao doesn't want to be a widow anymore

Chapter 280 Gu Family Sisters
Shu County, Zhou Family.

Gu Lingyun received a visiting card and her face changed slightly. She immediately took the envelope and walked to her sister Gu Lingchen's room. When she passed the door, she saw Qiao Rong standing at the door with medicine in her hand and a few beads of sweat on her little face.

Gu Lingyun was very polite and took the initiative to greet her. With a warm smile on his face, he greeted her warmly, "Sister, why don't you go in?"

Qiao Yong said, "Madam is still taking a nap."

Gu Lingyun said, "Sister, you are still pregnant. It is tiring to wait in the corridor. By the time Madam wakes up, the medicine will be cold and unpalatable. Why don't you give me the medicine? I will go back and rest first. When Madam wakes up, I will serve her the medicine."

"This..." Qiao Yong hesitated. She had only been back to the Gu family for over a month and was not very clear about some of the social conventions in the Gu family. However, Mrs. Gu was a very rule-abiding person and Qiao Yong did not want to offend her over trivial matters.

Gu Lingyun continued, "Don't worry, my sister is just a little stern on the outside, but she is the easiest person to talk to in private. Besides, you are pregnant, so she knows how hard you are working and won't make things difficult for you."

As he said this, he took the medicine from Qiao Yong's hand and gave Qiao Yong a reassuring look.

Qiao Yong was very grateful, "Thank you very much, Mrs. Gu."

After Qiao Yong walked away, Gu Lingyun walked into the main room, knelt on the ground and offered the medicine with both hands, "Sister, this medicine will lose its efficacy if it is heated again and again."

Gu Lingchen leaned on the bed. Although her face was pale, her eyes were still as sharp as swords. She didn't even bother to look at her sister. "It's just that you have temporarily obtained a small authority as a housekeeper. Now you look more and more like a mistress of the house."

Gu Lingyun repeatedly said she didn't dare, and her tone revealed a deep fear, "Sister, you are embarrassing me. I will never dare to overstep my authority."

"Really? But how dare you let her go back to rest when I didn't even wake her up?"

It was a light question, but it was filled with a strong sense of oppression.

"Don't be angry, sister. I asked Mrs. Qiao to go back first because I have something important to tell you." Gu Lingyun took out a visiting card from her sleeve. "This is a visiting card sent by the Sun family."

Hearing the name of the Sun family, Gu Lingchen couldn't help but become a little cautious. He took the visiting card and read it carefully. His eyes relaxed and he threw the visiting card into Gu Lingyun's hand. "Why, you're afraid of the little one getting beaten, so you want the big one to back you up?"

Gu Lingyun naturally didn't want to fall out with Qiao Rong at this time. After all, her family members were coming, and this family member was a marquis's wife.

Gu Lingchen snorted disdainfully, "You were fooled by a marquis' wife. You are really a thing I raised. You are so shallow-minded."

The smile on Gu Lingyun's face suddenly froze.

Obviously, his biological mother was married as the second wife after Gu Lingchen's biological mother died, but because Gu Lingchen was unhappy and disliked it, Gu's father allowed Gu Lingchen to call his biological mother "little wife", just because his biological mother was also born out of wedlock. His mother had to accept this disgusting arrangement and name, and she could not hold her head up in the Gu family for so many years.

She lowered her eyes to hide the hatred that flashed in her eyes, "Sister is right, but if Madam Qiao comes to visit, will Sister receive her personally?"

"She is the legitimate wife, is it your turn to be a concubine like you and Qiao to show off? Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at the fact that the Zhou family is now ruled by concubines?" Gu Lingchen scolded without mercy. Gu Lingyun did not refute, "I am also worried about my sister's health."

Even though Gu Lingyun had shown weakness, Gu Lingchen had no intention of letting her go. "Are you worried about my health? Are you worried that I'm not feeling well, or that I'm feeling well?"

"I dare not." Gu Lingyun explained quickly, "I am worried that my sister is overworked. The doctor has repeatedly told me that my sister needs to rest more so that she can get better."

"You are so concerned about my health! That's just right. Wu will be returning home tomorrow, so you can come to my room and serve me for two days." Gu Lingchen didn't care about Gu Lingyun's wishes and made the arrangements in one sentence, "Remember, you have to be here before the morning of tomorrow. As for what you need to do, you can learn from Huo. When you learn the rules of my room, you can serve me closely."

When the maidservant beside Gu Lingyun heard this, she almost burst into tears. She was about to plead with Gu Lingchen, but Gu Lingyun stopped her.

Mrs. Huo saw Gu Lingyun's reluctance and gently advised Gu Lingchen, "Yes, when I was in the Gu family, I was also a noble lady. I probably haven't learned the skills to serve others. My wife should not embarrass me. Let the maids serve you!"

These words seemed to be meant to comfort Gu Lingchen, but there was such a weird tone in the words. How could Gu Lingyun not understand that the master and servant were forcing him to bow his head and express his stance!

Gu Lingyun gritted her teeth, tears in her eyes, "As long as sister doesn't despise me for being vulgar, I am willing to learn to serve the mistress."

Gu Lingchen was slightly satisfied, but when she saw Gu Lingyun's face that looked exactly like her biological mother, she couldn't help but frown, her eyes full of disgust, "Don't show such a pitiful and weak look, this is not the Gu family, I'm not your father, and the master is not in the mansion now, who are you showing this look of being wronged to!"

It was not right for Gu Lingyun to explain, nor was it right not to explain. She could only bow her head and admit her fault, "I have no grievance in my heart."

"Go away!" Gu Lingchen felt annoyed when he saw her.

Gu Lingyun didn't dare cry until she returned to her room. Even the maid beside her had red eyes and cursed in a low voice towards the main house, "It's always like this!"

Gu Lingyun said, "It's not the first day that you and I have known her personality."

"I am such a fool. If my madam wants to punish me, just let me do it. Why do you have to get involved? Then I will be in trouble and you will have to get scolded for nothing. I will also have to serve my madam in a servile manner." The maid was unwilling and couldn't help but speak up for her own wife.

Gu Lingyun felt wronged, but she also knew that "Madam looks full of energy outside, she is not just holding on. But Mrs. Qiao is different. When the master took her in, he promised that she would be the housekeeper. She has Madam Qiao from the Sun family behind her. If anything happens to our Madam in the future, Mrs. Qiao will be the Madam.

I'm doing her a favor now so that she won't embarrass me in the future.

And the more I feel wronged when serving our Madam, the more the Master will know that Madam and I are not of the same mind, and he will not bear any grudge against me in the future, and I will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Zhou family."

Gu Lingyun gritted her teeth and said, "Hold on a little longer, as long as she dies, we'll be fine.

As long as she dies..."
