He once knew nothing about love between men and women, until he met Miss Chao. Then his heart, which seemed to be dead, seemed to be blown by the spring breeze and came back to life.

After witnessing the sincere love between Miss Chao and Xie Xun, his heart was shocked like never before, and he suddenly realized that this was the love he had dreamed of. He was no longer willing to spend his life with a woman he did not love just because of responsibility and obligation. The kind of life of respecting each other like a stagnant pool of water was not what he desired.

Unfortunately, Miss Chao already has someone she loves.

Therefore, he could only hide his emotions deep in his heart and suppress the excitement in simple appreciation.

As for the engagement, he felt that no matter who it was, marriage was marriage after all. If he took the initiative to cancel the engagement, it would inevitably lead to countless disputes and troubles.

However, his grandfather's words gave him new inspiration. He said that if he really had no intention of getting married, he could just cancel the engagement.

His heart began to waver.

Suddenly, a calm female voice echoed in the air, and everyone was stunned.

"But, they can't be together." Chao Yunxuan's words were full of determination and courage, which made Gu Zhiyi look at her with admiration.

The Third Prince was a little stunned at first, but then his eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement. He suddenly looked at Chao Yunxuan, and the affection in his eyes almost condensed into substance: "Yunxuan..."

Xie Xun's expression looked a little ugly: "Yunxuan!"

Duke Dunguo's expression was as gloomy as a dark cloud.

Chao Yunxuan's cold face showed a trace of confusion, as if she didn't understand what she had said wrongly: "Why are you all looking at me like this? I was just stating a fact. Close relatives should not get married."

"When close relatives marry, there is a high probability that the offspring will have various problems."

Duke Dun laughed coldly: "This is ridiculous! I have experienced countless things in my life, but I have never heard of such a ridiculous theory."

Xie Xun also frowned: "Yunxuan, please don't talk nonsense. Since ancient times, marriage between people of the same clan has been a common practice, and there has never been any disadvantage."

Chao Yunxuan's eyebrows were raised, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes: "Don't you believe what I said?"

Xie Xun shook his head: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just..."

Chao Yunxuan suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice: "Explanation is concealment, and concealment is the truth. Xie Xun, I didn't expect that after knowing each other for so many years, you don't have the slightest trust in me. I really misjudged you!"

The Third Prince also looked at Xie Xun with dissatisfaction: "Yunxuan is well-educated and talented, how could she say such nonsense without any reason."

He turned to Chao Yunxuan again: "Yunxuan, I firmly believe what you say."

Gu Zhiyi almost wanted to applaud these people; the show was simply too exciting.

She even wanted to take out a handful of melon seeds and eat them while enjoying the show.

Luoluo was also deeply attracted. She finally understood what the young lady meant when she said that the noble person was acting for her. This love triangle was indeed fascinating.

The expressions of the master and servant were too obvious. Chao Yunxuan keenly caught their gazes: "Everything that happened today was planned by you, right?"

The third prince also glared at Gu Zhiyi coldly: "You, a fake daughter, your methods are endless."

These words are not only full of sarcasm, but also contain murderous intent.

Gu Zhiyi had never thought that eating a melon would bring disaster upon herself. She reluctantly withdrew her thoughts on watching the show and asked, "The Third Prince is right. I am just a fake daughter with no one to rely on. How could I have the ability to plot against the highly respected Duke Dun and the famous Third Prince?"

"Besides, didn't you come to me today on your own initiative? Did I beg you to come?"

What does the fact that Marquis Yongxin was able to invite Duke Dunguo have to do with her, Gu Zhiyi?

Therefore, she was not lying.

Since she knew someone was coming to provoke her, why couldn't she fight back?

After losing the protection of the majestic Buddha, the many male confidants that Chao Yunxuan faced no longer posed a major problem to her.

How does it feel when the words you said come back to bite you?

Chao Yunxuan's heart was filled with anger and helplessness.

She had a strong premonition that everything that happened today was carefully planned by that woman, but she had no evidence.

Seeing that he could not make any progress with Gu Zhiyi, the Third Prince could only suppress his anger, put on a amiable smile, and turned to Duke Dunguo: "Grandfather, shouldn't you be enjoying your old age at home? Why did you choose to come here at such an inopportune time?"

He knew in his heart that the Duke of Dun would never condescend to come just for a younger generation like Xie Xun, and in the absence of the old Duke and his wife, there was only one reasonable explanation for the appearance of the Duke of Dun - he was secretly summoned by Gu Zhiyi.

The woman deliberately spread confusing remarks, and my grandfather happened to hear them with his own ears.

As a result, grandpa's prejudice against Yunxuan became deeply rooted in his heart.

What Chao Yunxuan said was true; that woman was indeed thoughtful and far-sighted.

"I am here to visit a master."

"Master?" The third prince was confused for a moment.

When did Xie Mansion become a temple?

Duke Dunguo did not answer his question, because he himself was also confused, so he turned to look at Marquis Yongxin next to him.

Marquis Yongxin was watching with great interest just now, until Duke Dun's eyes fell on him, he collected his thoughts and said respectfully to Duke Dun, "Grandfather, that master is not far away, but right in front of us. The wife of Duke Ning is exactly the master I am talking about."

Duke Dunguo's face was full of confusion.

The Third Prince sneered: "You still dare to say that all this was not carefully planned by you?"

He looked at her with disdain: "You are such an ignorant woman. You can't even find a decent reason to scheme against others. Master, are you worthy of being called a master?"

This was the second time he uttered the word.

As soon as he finished speaking, Marquis Yongxin felt displeased.

Although he did not dare to express his dissatisfaction openly, he still stood up to defend Gu Zhiyi: "Your Highness may not know that Madam Xie does have extraordinary abilities. Several years ago, when she was still a child, she observed my wife's face and predicted that my useless son would be in great trouble. Thanks to her reminder, my son was able to escape."

He only mentioned this matter because the other matters more or less involved power struggles. Although he did not have too many ambitions and only wanted to preserve the reputation and honor of the Yongxin Marquis Mansion and had not done anything against the law, those matters should not be made public.

After hearing this, Duke Dingguo's face changed slightly and he began to look at the woman in front of him seriously.

She had a gentle appearance, and upon closer inspection she was even more stunningly beautiful, but for some reason, when they first met, the first thing he noticed was not her stunning beauty, but a kind of soothing charm.

It was this reassuring charm that prompted him to decide to give her, and himself, a chance.

"Madam Xie, since you claim to be able to predict the future, why don't you guess what our Lord is thinking at this moment?"
