Xuexue glanced at the pleading eyes and softened her heart, saying, "Alright, be careful."
"Okay! Sure!"
The two walked out excitedly.
Night, in the side room.
After throwing a big tantrum during the day, Gu Lingqiao was persuaded by the old maid that, being in the War Prince's Mansion, she had to rely on Long Rui for everything. Thus, she decided to strike while the iron was hot, making good use of her childhood bond with Long Rui, and that night, she sent someone to invite Long Rui to dinner.
Her strategy was to prevent Xuexue from having a chance to interact with Long Rui.
Long Rui originally didn't plan to dine there, but since he hadn't seen his wife this morning, he felt a bit uneasy. Just as he was about to head to the Rain Listening Courtyard, the maid sent by Gu Lingqiao arrived to invite him for dinner.
