Chapter 137 Deterrence
A black poisonous insect flew out and drilled into the body of the teacher's daughter at an extremely fast speed. The teacher's daughter Shi Xiangxiang instantly turned into a wooden figure, unable to move at all.
"what--"
The young ladies who were pampered in their daily lives had never seen such a scene before, and they screamed and ran away.
Seeing this, Linglong frowned even more. The screams of these young ladies made her feel irritated. She said unhappily, "Stop it, otherwise..."
The young ladies present were all very smart people, so how could they not hear the threat in Linglong's words?
Thinking of Shi Xiangxiang's fate, the young ladies present didn't dare to move, as if they were under a spell.
"I will only say this once. The reason why I came to the Great Zhou is entirely because of the cooperation between the Great Zhou court and my Southern Border. And I, the Gu King, simply disdain to bully the weak."
Linglong explained the matter in a domineering manner, and then with a wave of her hand, she took back the poisonous insect in Shi Xiangxiang's body.
"I'm sorry, I thought too much." Shi Xiangxiang has never felt so aggrieved as she does now. She had to apologize to others after being bullied.
Her heart was filled with grievance and anger, but even though she didn't know what the Gu King represented, she was shocked by Linglong's actions.
So he bit his lips, his body trembled slightly, and tried his best to control his emotions.
But even so, her eyes were unconsciously filled with tears, but she didn't dare to let them fall. She was like a little white flower swaying in the wind.
At this moment, the maid Yun Guo who had gone back to report the news came back, and seeing her young lady in such a state, her adrenaline surged, and she thought the time to show off had come.
She immediately protected Shi Xiangxiang behind her like a hen protecting her chicks, "You lowly people, my lady is the daughter of the governor."
At the same time, she did not forget to blame Cuiyun who was beside Shi Xiangxiang, "Sister Cuiyun, how could you just watch the two young ladies being bullied?"
Shi Xiangxiang: ...
Shi Xiangxiang was completely stunned. When she came to her senses, she kept winking at Yun Guo.
Unfortunately, Yun Guo didn't receive any signal at all. She pointed at Linglong and kept sending.
"Shut up--" Shi Xiangxiang shouted these two words with almost all her strength.
She knew that if Yun Guo continued to talk nonsense, it would only make things worse. Her body trembled slightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress the fear and anger in her heart.
Shi Xiangxiang has made up her mind that as long as she can return home safely this time, she will definitely expel Yun Guo from the Shi family.
Yun Guo didn't know that this behavior had disgusted Master Xiangxiang. When he heard Master Xiangxiang's order, although he was unwilling, he shut up and stood next to Cuiyun.
At this time, Shi Xiangxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She bowed to Linglong tremblingly: "The maid is rude. Xiangxiang will punish her severely when she returns. Please..."
But before Shi Xiangxiang could finish her words, Linglong interrupted her: "What happens to the maid is your family affair. I ask that you do not disrupt the order of the Women's College. Do you understand?"
Would Shi Xiangxiang dare to say she didn't understand? She nodded repeatedly and assured, "I understand. I'll let the maid and the servant go back now."
After saying this, Shi Xiangxiang casually gave a few instructions to the maids and servants, then turned around and took her sister's hand and headed towards the academy gate.
Seeing that the governor's daughter had compromised, the others dared not put on airs and followed the example of the Shi sisters and walked up on foot.
Linglong was really speechless.
After returning, she naturally couldn't help but complain to Chu Ci.
“Hahahahaha, I didn’t expect the Gu King could be used this way?” Chu Ci laughed as he pulled Linglong to look at her carefully, and finally came to a conclusion: “I’m really a genius.”
Linglong shook her head and said, "Sister Chu, did you understand? I have made the cooperation between the Great Zhou and Southern Xinjiang public. Will your emperor be angry with you for this?"
Chu Ci curled his lips and said, "Don't try that. Isn't this your purpose?"
Linglong blushed slightly when she heard this, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Sister Chu. I swear, I will make it up to you in the future."
Although she felt a little sorry, there was a determination in her eyes that showed that she did not regret what she had done.
Chu Ci is also a person who responds to soft words and not hard ones, and she is not stupid, so she will naturally not push away the benefits that come to her door.
"It's a deal then. If you have any good medicinal herbs in the future, don't forget to leave some for me."
Hearing this, Linglong's face, which always smiled, froze for a rare moment: "Is it that simple?"
Linglong originally thought that Chu Ci would keep this favor, but she didn't expect that she would only make such a simple request.
For a moment, Linglong was a little bit unbelievable.
Chu Ci did not explain, but just smiled and said: "Why do you think this request is simple? You should know that now I am almost closely connected with the Women's College. In addition, my master is also a drug fanatic."
Although Chu Ci didn't want Linglong to have any psychological burden, she was not a saint and would not let herself suffer any loss.
But it is precisely this character of not taking advantage of others nor being at a disadvantage that makes Linglong and Chuci feel extremely comfortable getting along with each other.
The little girl leaned against Chu Ci and said, "Sister Chu, you underestimate the power of my Southern Xinjiang Gu King."
"Okay, from now on, Sister Chu's medicinal materials will depend on Linglong."
On a whim and with careful planning, the relationship between Chu Ci and Ling Long suddenly became much closer.
Looking at the sisters from the Shi family, they have been living in fear ever since they entered the women’s college.
Unfortunately, the college’s teaching is rigorous and no leave will be approved unless there are special circumstances.
Therefore, in just ten days, the sisters felt as if they had spent ten years.
In the last class, the two looked out the window frequently. When they heard the teacher say "get out of class dismissed", they immediately ran to the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, the Master’s carriage was waiting at the foot of the mountain early.
But the cloud fruit waiting beside the carriage was too eye-catching. Shi Xiangxiang's face turned ugly: "Cuiyun, didn't I tell you not to bring the cloud fruit?"
"Ah?" Cuiyun wanted to ask when the order was given.
But seeing Shi Xiangxiang's expression, she was only slightly stunned, and then tactfully attributed the mistake to herself. "Miss, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to pick you up and forgot about this matter for a moment."
The most embarrassing one is Yun Guo.
After returning, Cuiyun told her in detail what Linglong had done. Only then did she realize that she wanted to show off, but ended up embarrassing her own lady.
But she was just a maid, her bond was tied to the Shi family, and the most she could do was to find a connection to transfer away from Shi Xiangxiang.
Unfortunately, I failed to achieve my goal for ten consecutive days.
Moreover, early this morning, the Madam personally ordered her to pick up the two young ladies. Yun Guo was just a maid, so what could she do?
