Chapter 24 Good News

Gu Ling was always good-looking, but now because he was worried about his sister, his eyebrows were stained with sadness, and he looked more and more like a weak and sickly gentleman.

He reached out and took Gu Ning's arm and pushed her around to make sure there was nothing wrong. Then he felt relieved and said, "Be careful in everything you do in the future and don't be impetuous."

Even so, his tone could not hide his happiness.

"Okay, let your sister drink some water quickly. I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of it in the palace." Gu Qinqi spoke slowly and tapped his fingers on the table, indicating that the owner of the fingers was in a good mood.

Gu Ling dragged Gu Ning to sit down, poured her a cup of tea himself, and then sat down in his seat.

"Dad, brother, don't worry. I'm back safely, haven't I? Oh, by the way, I still have to tell you something. My engagement with the third prince is no longer counted."

Gu Ningfeng said this matter lightly, but the people present naturally understood how difficult it was to implement this simple sentence.

This is a marriage contract with the prince. No one in the world except the emperor dares to say a word about this marriage contract.

The person sitting opposite Gu Ning was Ning Wan'er. In order to steal the limelight, she dressed up carefully. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise.

The smile on the corner of his mouth could hardly be concealed, so he hurriedly took out a handkerchief and covered it over his mouth, for fear of being seen by others.

Gu Qinqi's face was serious, his brows were furrowed, and his index finger rubbed the jade ring on his thumb, feeling uneasy inside.

Gu Ning didn't need to tell him to know that Situ Yu's consent was definitely not required for breaking off the engagement. If he had any bias, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't cause trouble for Ning'er in the future.

Until then, what will happen to Ning'er? This matter may always be a disaster in the future.

The hall fell into deathly silence. Gu Ling looked at this and that. Today, his sister came back from the palace. It was supposed to be a great joy, but why was the atmosphere so awkward?

"Sister, take a look and see if the food prepared tonight is to your liking. If you don't want to eat it, just tell your elder brother and he will go say hello to the kitchen."

Gu Ling was trying to lighten the mood, but he really got up and planned to go to the kitchen.

"Brother, don't bother me. I still have good news to tell you." Gu Ning covered her mouth with a smile and had no intention of saying more about breaking off the engagement.

"What's going on?" Gu Ling looked surprised. He didn't understand why his sister kept getting good things one after another when it was obviously very dangerous for her sister to go to the palace.

"I'm going to White Deer College to study." Gu Ning was really happy. By going to White Deer College, she would be one step closer to Situ Yu and Ning Wan'er, and one step closer to revenge.

"White Deer Academy!?"

Gu Ling's jaw almost dropped in surprise. Only relatives of the emperor could enter the White Deer Academy.

Although Ning Wan'er was also there, that was just a special case, and the reason why Ning Wan'er entered White Deer Academy in the first place was actually a bit difficult to explain.

"The Emperor's favor is so great. It's a good thing that Ning'er got into White Deer Academy as a blessing in disguise this time. But after entering, be sure to be careful and don't make the slightest mistake."

Gu Qinqi was not as surprised as Gu Ling, but was slightly worried.

He knew Situ Yu's temper to a certain extent, so it would be fine if he didn't care about breaking off the engagement at all. But with the Gu family standing in the spotlight, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Situ Yu to let this matter go easily.

Gu Ning gently twisted the duck meat and chewed it carefully. She was not in a hurry to reply. After chewing everything in her mouth, she nodded slowly.

Gu Lingmin smiled, picked up a spring roll and put it on her plate, "If anything goes wrong in the academy, don't endure it yourself, just come back and tell big brother."

"I know."
