Chapter 620 - An Ulterior Motive (1/2)

Su Muwei was perceptive. When Gu Bailu mentioned that two of the dresses were in the crown prince’s residence, she had already wanted to ask the question.

If there were two, why did she only have one of the dresses?

Now that Gu Bailu brought it up again, Su Muwei’s heart jumped, and she felt that things weren’t simple.

“Who was it given to? You? You’ve definitely earned it. I wouldn’t mind at all,” Su Muwei smiled lightly and replied generously.

Gu Bailu chuckled. “I’m not good enough for the crown prince to give me such a nice dress. The other dress was given to my disciple.”

Slightly surprised, Su Muwei smiled again. “Your disciple deserves it. Both of you helped treat me. Both the crown prince and I are grateful to you. If you like it, I can offer you this dress. I don’t have a lot of things to express my grat.i.tude with.”

“Don’t say that. The crown prince thinks so highly of you that you can have everything in this residence the moment you ask for them.”

“That’s true. The crown prince is the only one who doesn’t despise my broken body. Your disciple must look good in this dress,” said Su Muwei gently.

She came back to the topic.

Gu Bailu was amused. I thought you really didn’t care, but you switched back to the topic so cleverly. You think I don’t know you’re worried about who has the other dress?

“Well, my disciple is truly beautiful. As her master, even I find her extremely attractive. Also, now that she’s carrying the crown prince’s baby, he will cherish her even more.”

Su Muwei’s expression froze. “What did you say? Whose baby is your disciple carrying?”

“The crown prince’s. But don’t worry. My disciple isn’t interested in the crown prince. She wants to run away,” said Gu Bailu, as if she was here just to tell Su Muwei not to worry and that her disciple was no threat to her.

Su Muwei was stupefied. She never thought that while this Daoist nun who had saved her was plain, the nun’s disciple had hooked up with the crown prince.
