Capítulo 157: I’m Willing to Accept You as My Adopted Daughter

Seeing that Gu Qingxue had been persuaded, Imperial Duke Zhan hurriedly got off the carriage and invited her to get on.

The carriage stopped in front of a teahouse.

Gu Qingxue followed Imperial Duke Zhan upstairs. The two of them found a private room and sat down.

After the tea was served, the waiter left the room and closed the door.

Imperial Duke Zhan stood up with a solemn expression. He raised his teacup and said to Gu Qingxue, "Miss Gu, I've indeed offended you today. Please forgive me."

Gu Qingxue took the teacup from Imperial Duke Zhan, she said lightly, "The imperial duke was heavily injured when you were fighting for the country. As a citizen of the Tianyue Kingdom, I will naturally not divulge this matter. However, there is no wall in this world that can not be leaked. The state of the imperial duke's health is already very bad. If you are not treated in time, you will only be able to hold on for another five years at most."
