Princess and the General

Chapter 17: Dragon Boat Festival

"Little Yu Fu, are you saying bad things about us behind our backs again?"

The sound of Gu Xiang and Gu Yi's voices suddenly came from outside the room. Yu Fu was given a start, and she quickly looked toward Gu ShuBai in shock.

The latter revealed a smile. His handsome smile curved to form an arc resembling that of a new moon.

"Eldest brother is mean! You already knew that fifth and sixth brother had come and deliberately told me to guess!"

Gu ShuBai knew very well that, given how Yu Fu, Gu Xiang, and Gu Yi fooled around, some inflammatory remark would definitely be said.

Who knew that it would be as hilarious as what she actually said.

Gu Xiang pinched Yu Fu's cheeks but did so very carefully for fear of causing her any pain.

"If it wasn't for you thinking such a thing, eldest brother would not have let you say it. It's clear that you're looking down on us!"

Though Gu Xiang was saying some sullen stuff, he was smiling quite radiantly.

Yu Fu's little face was very springy and soft. It could be said to be perfectly described as very fragile...*

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Yu Fu grimaced, and her large dark eyes fluttered. Tears seemed to be on the verge of spilling out.

Gu Xiang hastily let go. Sure enough, a red print had been left on Yu Fu's little pink face.

Gu ShuBai and Gu Yi cast murderous glances in his direction.

"I, I didn't put in any strength! It's little Yu Fu's skin that was too tender!"

Gu Xiang had a look of having been wrongly accused. He wanted to help Yu Fu rub her face, but the little girl had already been pulled away by Gu ShuBai.

"Don't move. I'll rub it for you."

Yu Fu obediently stayed in his embrace, and her red face slowly began to recover.

Seeing Gu ShuBai gently rub her face with his finger, Gu Yi could not be any more envious.

He also really wanted to help rub Yu Fu's face...

The servants stood to the side and watched the siblings fool around. They could not stop themselves from smiling.

Qi Ting was the only one to feel very displeased from seeing Yu Fu be shown so much favor.

She was on her way with the fans when she saw Gu Xiang and Gu Yi walking over. In her heart, she had rejoiced that she would be able to be with all three young men at the same time.

But the three were only willing to look at Yu Fu...

...

"Father, there have been quite a few rumors regarding Yu Fu in the capital recently. Has father heard anything?"

In the study in the outer yard, Gu ShuBai reported some of the happenings in the military to Gu HuaiJiang and also brought up Yu Fu.

Gu HuaiJiang muttered to himself for a moment.

He knew that the slightest sign of anything from the Marquis Gu's Manor would become a topic of discussion for the people in the capital.

That was even without someone like Yu Fu.

"A large tree will deal with more wind. Our Marquis Gu's Manor is very wealthy and must act a little more subtly. I have not yet reported the matter of Gu'er being shot by a poisoned arrow by someone from Xi Kun. The matter of Yu Fu... there's no need for anyone else to know too much."
