Even though Prince Ning was extremely intelligent, he couldn't understand why she suddenly mentioned her slap.

"Why is it so powerful?" Prince Ning asked patiently.

"It's just...nothing. I must have made a mistake." Gu Xi came back to her senses and quickly waved her hand.

The system couldn't explain this matter, so Gu Xi could only vaguely explain it.

She also realized that the slap in the face mentioned by the system did not mean the same thing as the slap in her mind.

Moreover, the system also emphasized that in order to stimulate her enthusiasm, some rewards have been distributed to allow her to explore on her own.

Gu Xi couldn't help but look around to see where the reward was, but couldn't find it for a while, so she explained to Prince Ning,

"It just occurred to me that I seemed to have lost a bottle of medicine and I need to look for it."

Prince Ning naturally didn't believe her excuse, but he didn't ask any further questions. He swallowed the bitter soup, handed the bowl to her, and thanked her gently.

But then he put his arm on the quilt and suddenly touched a small hard object, which he felt was a small porcelain bottle.

Prince Ning, "..."

Prince Ning took out the small bottle from under the quilt and said in a faint tone, "Are you looking for it?"

Gu Xi stood up from the chair again in shock, her voice was astringent and weak,

"Yes, yes, I said why I can't find it. It must have fallen on the bed when I was applying medicine to the prince yesterday."

What a damn system!

How could it hide the medicine bottle in Prince Ning’s bed!

It's better to put it under her butt!

Such a strange situation, how could someone as wise and sharp as Prince Ning not be suspicious!

Gu Xi once again suspected that the real master of this system was actually Prince Ning, and she was just a tool being used.

"Oh? I left it behind yesterday. Then you put it away and pay attention next time."

Prince Ning handed it to her and said meaningfully.

Although he could not see it with his eyes, Prince Ning was very sure that the small bottle was not on his bed before, but he did not notice it when it got into his bed.

It seems to appear suddenly.

Very weird.

He is so profound and unpredictable, even more powerful than his master.

Is she also a member of Xuanmen?!

Prince Ning found that the more he got along with her, the less he could see through her.

Gu Xi knew from his tone that he didn't believe it, so she took the medicine bottle and said, "Sorry for disturbing the prince."

He simply didn't ask any further questions. Gu Xi also breathed a sigh of relief and also chose to play dumb.

Otherwise, she really didn’t know how to make it up to make Prince Ning believe it.

"It's okay, you probably forgot about me when you saw me being too upset." Prince Ning smiled and teased her.

"Ahem, the prince is joking, so I'm not upset. I'm just a little worried about someone finding out that the prince is here." Gu Xi smiled sarcastically.

For the first time, I felt that Prince Ning's gentleness and elegance were superficial, but his temper was actually a bit sinister and vicious.

Ning Wang smiled, thinking it was fun to tease her, but it was a pity that he couldn't see her expression, otherwise it would be more fun.

Gu Xi took the small medicine bottle, squeezed it tightly in shame, and said goodbye to Prince Ning, "Your Majesty is still weak and needs a good rest. I won't bother you here anymore."

Prince Ning pursed his lips, responded, and let her go.

He really wanted to know Gu Xi's secret.

But Prince Ning knew very well that this was not the time for exploration and persecution. Asking more questions would make Gu Xi more defensive against him.

This is not conducive to his plan to keep her by his side.

When she is willing to stay with him, it doesn't matter whether he knows the secrets about her or not. Anyway, he has already used them.

-

After leaving the room, Gu Xi couldn't wait to call up the system again, check the face-slapping task, and asked the system directly if a slap in the face was not a slap in the face.

[It’s terrible to be uneducated. Of course, you don’t just slap her in the face, you make her embarrassed]

The system finally knew where the problem was. It turned out that Gu Xi had misunderstood it.

It immediately jumped up and down, teaching Gu Xi not to be a simple beauty, but to read more, study more, and become a talented woman.

As the most talented woman in the capital, Gu Xi, "..."

Even the prince of the dynasty praised her for the articles and strategies she wrote, and even praised her for her talent as a top scholar, but it was a pity that she was born as a girl.

This is the first time she has been called a idiot, and it feels a little strange.

Gu Xi thought about the messy words used by the system when publishing tasks, and rubbed his brows in distress.

She didn't argue with it about this trivial matter, and just warned herself that she must ask clearly next time.

After knowing that this slap in the face was not a slap in the face, but meant to embarrass others, Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be simple.

What makes Gu Xi curious and concerned now is what did Gu Rong do to make her feel embarrassed when she did nothing?!

Moreover, the system would blame him for causing her disgrace, which is really strange.

Gu Xi thought for a moment and asked Chunzhi and the others to prepare the carriage. She wanted to go back to the city.

-

Just talk about Gu Rong, she is very depressed now!

In the past few days when she came to the Hou Mansion, she found that everyone in the Hou Mansion, from the master to the slaves, was full of praise for the fake daughter Gu Xi.

Especially the servants in the mansion, even if they knew that Gu Xi was not a bloodline of the Hou Mansion, they mentioned her respectfully and without a trace of contempt.

After enduring it for a few days, she took action today to win over Qian's mother, who was in charge of the kitchen. However, she deliberately put down her physical approach and bribery, but it didn't work at all!

Qian’s mother declined the gold hairpin she gave her, and didn’t give her any love points at all!

She sent Qian's mother away, but was still unwilling to do so. She went to Manager Li, who managed the Hou Mansion's property, and tried to win over him.

But it still doesn’t work!

Manager Li seemed to be respectful to her, but in fact he didn't like her at all. He opened his mouth and shut up the young lady, so he just said that he was Gu Xi's person in life and Gu Xi's ghost in death.

Gu Rong felt like her face was swollen.

In just a few days, Gu Rong felt deeply that the Marquis Mansion had been run like an iron bucket by Gu Xi.

This made it difficult for her to understand. Gu Xi was no longer the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion, which meant that she was no longer the serious master of the Hou Mansion. These slaves were the most popular, so why should they respect her?

Later, Gu Rong got a vague answer from her personal maid Jade.

It turns out that Gu Xi has helped Mrs. Hou manage the house three years ago, and under her management, the treatment of the people in the Hou house has improved a lot.

The amount of money has more than doubled, and more clothing, rewards and other benefits have been distributed.

You can even have the opportunity to leave the mansion and work as a steward in the Hou Mansion's industry outside.

Before her life experience was exposed, Gu Xi had already been the actual housekeeper of the Hou Mansion. All the servants in the mansion respected her, loved her, and liked to work under her hands.

If Gu Xiruo leaves, it may mean that he will return to the past, and these things will no longer exist. Naturally, the slaves will not be happy.

After learning about this reason, Gu Rong became more and more aware that Gu Xi, a fake daughter, was very special.
