Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage-Chapter 673 - 674: Scavenger

Chapter 673: Chapter 674: Scavenger

Jiang Ning finished instructing and found that Gucheng was standing still.

She was helpless, “I’ll wait here for you. Either that or I’ll go back to the palace first, and you can catch up after you throw it away.”

“No.”

Gucheng shook his head.

His voice was soft and not very firm, but Jiang Ning knew he wouldn’t change his mind.

Jiang Ning turned her head and looked, “Then what should we do? If I go to throw it away in the carriage, won’t people still find out?”

“Wait.”

Gucheng said with a single word.

“Wait for what? If we wait any longer, he really will freeze to death, and that would also be quite troublesome.”

“No.”

After saying this, Gucheng fell silent, standing motionless with Prince Xinhai in his hands.

Prince Xinhai was so cold that he couldn’t speak anymore.

At least it was quiet.

Jiang Ning didn’t like his stinky mouth and almost couldn’t help but go up and slap it.

She didn’t know what Gucheng was waiting for, but because of her absolute trust in him, Jiang Ning just stood where she was and waited.

She had given her cloak to Xiachu, only wearing a layer of silk robe, standing in the snow, she was still a little cold.

Just when she was thinking about whether to go back to the carriage and wait, someone walked out of the courtyard.

It was a young man in his twenties, wearing a clean and pure white long gown. His skin was also white, and he was clean from head to toe.

As he walked, he wiped his fingers with a pure white handkerchief, frowning with a disgusted and impatient expression on his face, mumbling softly.

He was a complete clean freak, with a difficult character and constantly afraid of being despised by others.

Jiang Ning wanted to flee when she saw such a person; she didn’t want to get along with someone difficult.

However, apparently, the person Gucheng was waiting for was him.

In other words, he was Guying.

He approached unhurriedly, looked at Gucheng and the half-frozen Prince Xinhai, then shifted his gaze to Jiang Ning, slightly bending over, “Guying has met Seventh Miss.”

Those who were raised by Jiang Mubai and took the surname “Gu” all addressed Jiang Ning as Seventh Miss, not as Princess Consort.

They considered themselves part of the Jiang Family, and their loyalty was to the Jiang Family, not the Li Royal Family.

Although Guying was respectful to Jiang Ning, he still maintained a distant relationship with her or, to put it better, with everyone.

His expression, demeanor, and eyes constantly conveyed his disapproval of the world.

It was as if everything was filthy and polluted.

As if he was the undefiled white lotus in the mire.

Anyone being looked at with such disdainful eyes would inevitably feel a bit uneasy and cramped.

Jiang Ning also felt a bit uncomfortable and smiled, “Guying, I heard you have a nickname?”

“Scavenger.”

“Scavenger? Because you’re good at handling battlefields?”

“That’s just everyone’s overpraise.” Guying’s voice was also clean and refreshing, unhurried, just like himself, spotless.

Gucheng casually threw Prince Xinhai at him, “Hang him.”

Guying pinched the rope with his handkerchief and sighed, “I hate dealing with such dirty things.”

Jiang Ning handed him a chestnut, “Want some?”

Guying smiled slightly, “I don’t eat things made by others. Seventh Miss, you shouldn’t eat it either. Do you know what the hands of the people who made these things have touched? They could easily cause a stomachache.”

Jiang Ning: “…”

The chestnut in her mouth suddenly lost its flavor.

“Alright then, I’ll leave this matter to the Scavenger.” Before Jiang Ning turned to get into the carriage, she casually asked, “By the way, has everything been cleaned up inside?”
