NovelEnglishChapter 453: A Narrow Path
“This thing keeps Lord Ling in your room.” Mrs. Gu said.
She had this prepared, because she was worried that Lord Ling would care about what happened at the study and developed some disgusted feelings towards Ruxue. She should have given this to Ruxue on her wedding day, but the medicine maker said that it took time for this thing to be ready. So she had to wait. A couple of days ago, when Mrs. Gu urged that medicine maker again, he gave her one bottle for the time being. So Ruxue could be given this on her trip back home.
Gu Ruxue had been confused. A while later, she understood it all.
Mrs. Gu stressed. “Let’s leave the identity behind for the time being. Before everything is settled, what matters most of all is to keep Lord Ling in your room. The best thing is to get pregnant and have a baby. With a baby around, you will definitely flourish no matter what happens in the future. Got it?”
Gu Ruxue took the bottle and nodded.
Her mother was right. What mattered most right now was to keep her status at the mansion.
Especially when there was no prince born at the mansion, so if she gave birth to a baby first, then her child would definitely get ranked according to what Lord Ling had promised her earlier.

She had been so anxious during the past few days at Lord Ling’s Mansion, but now she was back home and her mom got everything ready for her. In this case, she did not need to worry about anything.
Mrs. Gu gave a gratified smile.
When she was young, she had been thinking about bringing down Ms. Lin who died very fast. From that day on, Mrs. Gu had no other wish than to put all her hope upon her two children. As long as they could do well, her life would become fulfilled.
Now, it seemed that her life’s wish could be fulfilled.
Mrs. Gu asked Gu Ruxue to put away the thing, when the sound of door knocking arose again.
It was Chen Fu who said politely, “Madame, Princess Consort, the lunch is ready, the Lord is asking me to tell you to go to the front yard.”
Mrs. Gu answered briefly.
She was done with speaking with her daughter. It was time to visit the front yard. So she went with Gu Ruxue to the front yard.
Chen Fu followed behind with his head lowered.
After being kicked by the Young Master, he had not been feeling well these days. He was wobbling. If not for the cream Elder Miss gave to him, he was afraid that he would not make it through.
Chen Fu followed behind with a bitter look on his face.
As they came to the front yard, Lord Ling was already standing in the yard.
Seeing Gu Ruxue coming, he said gently, “Let’s leave.”
Gu Ruxue was surprised. Weren’t they supposed to eat lunch now?
“Lord, aren’t we having lunch now?”

Gu Ruxue was surprised. She threw a look at Gu Zhenkang who kept giving her blinks.
Gu Ruxue was helpless too. She had not had a smooth time these days, so she did not dare to counter Lord Ling. So she had to pretend that she had not seen Gu Zhenkang’s suggestion.
Instead, she followed Lord Ling out of the mansion.
Gu Zhenkang was very displeased, but he was still following them and seeing them off at the mansion.
What was the point of the trip back home, when they were not eating anything here. They did not even finish the tradition!
Gu Zhenkang thought inwardly.
They had just walked out of the mansion, when Zhou Huaijin was about to walk in. Dressed in a purple robe, he looked radiant.
Zhou Huailing suddenly got distressed. He asked, “What are you doing here?”
