The Old Maid also couldn't fathom why. In the end, it boiled down to the fact that although the War Prince is an excellent hand at leading troops into battle, he is completely clueless when it comes to domestic disputes among women. Hence, he didn't realize Lingling's injuries were intentional, not accidental.
"Enough, enough, that ugly brute is just missing a nerve, otherwise how could he not see such obvious injuries on me?"
Gu Lingqiao was fuming. As a peerless beauty herself, having to cozy up to an ugly brute was already a grievance. If it weren't for the mission to aid her sweetheart, she wouldn't have come to the Capital, having to face the War Prince, this ugly brute, every day, and even have to act coy around him. Just thinking about it disgusts her.
The Old Maid cautiously glanced around and said, "Shhh! Miss, don't speak recklessly. Be wary of walls having ears."
