"Does the prince have any arrangements?" Marquis Gu asked tentatively.

"It's your business who to take with you, and the prince will not interfere." Yu Wangfei responded.

Upon hearing the news that she would attend the banquet, Yu Qiaoqiao specially washed and dressed up before appearing in front of everyone.

In the past, Lord Gu would always bring Madam Gu and Gu Baizhou to such banquets, but this year was different. Yu Qiaoqiao could be considered the daughter-in-law of the Marquis now, so she wanted to join in the fun at the New Year's Eve banquet.

"Uncle." Yu Qiaoqiao politely saluted Lord Gu, "I wonder if you can take me there?"

Yu Wangfei looked at Yu Qiaoqiao blankly and rolled his eyes.

She really didn't realize her own status. If she was still the cousin of the Marquis' Mansion, it would be fine to take her along, but she was just a concubine now. Could it be that the Marquis Cheng'en would have to bring a concubine to attend the banquet hosted by His Majesty?

"Ridiculous!" Lord Gu was obviously angry, "Don't you even look at your own identity?"

Ever since he knew that the Yu family did not value Yu Qiaoqiao, Lord Gu was too lazy to treat Yu Qiaoqiao well and just kept her in the mansion as an idler.

"I am the cousin of the Marquis Cheng'en." Yu Qiaoqiao smiled slightly. She wanted to attend the event in this identity.

In fact, she wanted to use this banquet to hook up with a high-ranking official. She was angry that Yu Wangfei had Chu Yuheng's support behind her, while she had nothing behind her.

But she was just a woman and never saw those noble families on weekdays, so she thought of attending the New Year's Eve banquet with the Marquis, and then finding a more powerful man to protect her like Yu Wangfei.

In this way, even if she could not escape from the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, the Gu family could not blame her.

"You are just a concubine now." Lord Gu felt that Yu Qiaoqiao was simply crazy.

Yu Qiaoqiao had no expression on her face, as if she had expected this: "If uncle doesn't take me, then I have something to tell him."

At this moment, Lord Gu didn't want to pay any attention to Yu Qiaoqiao. He felt that Yu Qiaoqiao had gone crazy.

"Last time, I was indeed pregnant with my cousin's child, and it was you who aborted your grandson with your own hands." Yu Qiaoqiao laughed crazily. She supported the maid behind her while laughing, and stared at Lord Gu.

This matter had been buried in her heart for so long that she almost forgot that she had a child.

If she hadn't been poisoned by Yu Wangfei, she would have told the Gu family about it and asked for an explanation.

Yu Wangfei was shocked when she heard this. She couldn't believe that Yu Qiaoqiao would tell this matter now.

She knew the Gu family's character better than anyone else. Even if the Marquis aborted the child himself, the thing had already happened, and the Marquis's Mansion could not make up for an aborted child.

Could it be that Yu Qiaoqiao has other tricks up her sleeve?

"Nonsense!" Lord Gu was so angry that he pointed at Yu Qiaoqiao and said, "Someone, take this bitch away and lock her up!"

"Is uncle feeling guilty?" Yu Qiaoqiao suddenly stopped laughing and pointed at Yu Wangfei, "If uncle doesn't believe me, just ask Yu Wangfei if I really had a child that you guys aborted."

Upon hearing this, Lord Gu's gaze unconsciously fell on Yu Wangfei, his eyes were full of fear and anger.

Yu Wangfei couldn't understand it either. She had just returned from Xizhou and now just wanted to go back to Fangfei Garden to rest, but she was pulled by Yu Qiaoqiao and involved in this matter.

Seeing that Yu Wangfei didn't answer, Yu Qiaoqiao shook off the hand of the maid and ran to Yu Wangfei, staring at him with red eyes: "Hurry up and tell me, is it true? You can't lie."

Helplessly, Yu Wangfei nodded and said, "Yes, she was indeed pregnant with Gu Baizhou's child, but it was aborted by your family rules."

Upon hearing the news, Lord Gu was shocked. He couldn't believe that the results of the examination by the court physician and the doctor at the Snow Viewing Banquet were false. He actually aborted his own grandson with his own hands.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Lord Gu didn't believe it. He muttered to himself and wanted to turn around and leave.

But how could Yu Qiaoqiao give him the chance to leave?

"If you don't believe me, call the court doctor and interrogate him again!" Yu Qiaoqiao said as she walked towards Madam Gu's yard, "I'll go talk to my grandmother right away."

"Stop!" Lord Gu called out to her urgently.

He knew that Madam Gu valued offspring the most. If this was true and was known to Madam Gu, there would surely be another bloody storm in the Marquis' Mansion.

At that time, it was the doctor who was called in by the second branch of the Gu family, but the second branch and the doctor were in collusion with each other in order to make Gu Baizhou childless.

But there is no need to pursue too much responsibility now. After all, he was the one who used the family rules on Qiaoqiao, and now Gu Baizhou's health has recovered and she can give him another grandson.

"Go to the lobby." Lord Gu said coldly, "Let the palace doctor and the second wife come together."

Seeing that Lord Gu was going to overturn Yu Qiaoqiao's case, Yu Wangfei did not intend to get involved. He turned around and wanted to leave with Yun Hua, but was stopped by Yu Qiaoqiao.

"Sister is also a witness, so you have to go with me."

"Let go. Don't forget that the antidote is in my hand." Yu Wangfei said softly through gritted teeth.

She didn't want to get involved in the Gu family's affairs at all.

"If you have the guts, then let me die." Yu Qiaoqiao smiled, "But if I die, I must take someone with me."

"Let go!" Yu Wangfei slapped Yu Qiaoqiao with his other hand, "I'll go with you."

Since I can't leave, I might as well go and watch the show and see how the second branch of the Gu family ends up.

It was obvious that Lord Gu wanted to handle the matter in secret. After the second branch of the Gu family and the court doctor arrived, he had the door closed and ordered that no one should spread the news, let alone let the old lady know.

"Doctor, tell me, the last time you took Yu's pulse, was she really pregnant?" Lord Gu sat in a high seat and looked at the people in the hall.

"This." The court doctor looked at Yu Qiaoqiao guiltily, then looked at the second aunt, and said after thinking for a moment, "She is not pregnant."

"How dare you lie, you bold doctor!" Yu Qiaoqiao picked up the teacup beside her and threw it at the doctor. "I have a witness here, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise I will definitely sell you out!"

He knew that the Marquis' Mansion had been selling slaves during this period, but he was the only doctor in the mansion, so he was not sold. For a moment, the mansion doctor became a little scared.

"My lord, it's all because of my own ignorance. It's really my fault." The court doctor kowtowed to Lord Gu out of fear.

In fact, he had been having trouble sleeping during this period. He could hear the child crying every time he fell asleep. He had a clean life and had never done anything wrong, but he lied in this matter.

"Who told you to do this!" Lord Gu was furious.
