Qinwangfu Garden.

Gulin was wrapped in a cloak, lazily curled up on the beauty couch. The golden sunlight shone through the gorgeous wisteria, sporadically onto his face, making his handsome face look like a banished immortal.

Xu Rui stood outside Langting and was amazed by the people and scenery before him that were like a picture scroll.

He used to be quite confident about his appearance and figure, but now standing in front of Gulin, he suddenly felt like a clown on the stage.

Even though I'm a man, I'm still uncontrollably attracted to her at this moment.

Perhaps Xu Rui's gaze was too intense, Gulin finally raised his eyes and gave Xu Rui a look, "Marquis Yonglin is not here to see me basking in the sun."

Xu Rui finally came back to his senses. "Your Highness, I came here today to apologize for what happened to my sister last night. My sister was reckless and offended Your Highness. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."

Xu Rui knelt down as he spoke.

Gulin spoke leisurely, "There's no need for an apology, but has Marquis Yonglin found the person who spread rumors about me?"

Xu Rui immediately lowered his eyes, "It was my sister who spread the rumor. She has a grudge against my wife, so she did such a stupid thing."

Gulin looked at Xu Rui meaningfully, but did not expose him. "Since the culprit is your sister, how do you plan to deal with her?"

Xu Rui replied respectfully, "My sister is so arrogant that she dares to covet the prince. I think marrying her into the Zhou family is the best punishment."

As soon as Xu Rui finished speaking, he saw a hint of satisfaction in Gulin's eyes.

Gulin raised his lips and said, "Since Yonglin Hou has already made plans, then I will not get involved in your family affairs. Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xu Rui then stood up.

"The Prince of Qin's Mansion has nothing to offer the Yonglin Marquis. If you have nothing else to do, please return."

After Gulin finished speaking, he lazily closed his eyes again.

Since they had ordered him to leave, Xu Rui naturally would not stay any longer. He bowed to Gulin and took his leave.

Xu Rui followed the guards out of the Prince of Qin's Mansion. He seemed to be following the guards obediently, but his eyes were secretly glancing around everywhere.

After sending Xu Rui out of the palace, Wuyi appeared and reported, "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the Yonglin Marquis."

Gulin suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the hanging wisteria and said coldly, "Keep an eye on him."

"Yes." Wuyi responded, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

When Xu Rui returned to the Princess's Mansion, he saw Xu Rong kneeling at the gate of his courtyard. He didn't know how long she had been kneeling there, and her face was a little pale.

"My Lord." Seeing Xu Rui coming back, Deji hurried forward to salute.

"Brother." Xu Rong was also surprised to see Xu Rui coming back from outside.

She really didn't expect that Xu Rui really went out.

"What is this for?" Xu Rui looked at the kneeling Xu Rong in confusion.

Deji quickly explained, "Just now, the Fifth Miss came to see the Marquis. A subordinate said you were not in the mansion, but the Fifth Miss didn't believe it and insisted on kneeling here to wait for you."

Xu Rong crawled directly to Xu Rui's feet, tugged at his clothes, and begged, "Brother, I don't want to marry Zhou Lai, please save me."

Xu Rui looked at Xu Rong expressionlessly, gently pulled out his clothes, and said indifferently, "I've said before, I won't interfere in your marriage anymore. Everything is decided by mother."

Xu Rui was about to enter the yard when Xu Rong grabbed his clothes again. "You know Mother can't defeat the Zhou family. You know better than me what kind of place the Zhou family is. Do you really have to push me into this fire pit?"

The grievance and fear in Xu Rong's eyes did not soften Xu Rui's heart. Instead, his gaze became even harsher. "The moment you plotted against His Majesty, you should have expected such consequences."

Xu Rui pulled out his clothes and walked into the main courtyard.

Looking at Xu Rui's ruthless back, Xu Rong stood up and wanted to rush into the yard unwillingly, but was stopped by Deji.

Xu Rong couldn't push him away, so she could only yell at Xu Rui, "Xu Rui, how can you be so cruel? I'm your biological sister."

Xu Rui paused for a moment, then turned back to look at Xu Rong. He spoke slowly, "Because you are my sister, you are still alive today."

His wolf-like murderous eyes frightened Xu Rong so much that her legs went weak in an instant.

Looking at the frightened Xu Rong, Xu Rui withdrew his gaze and walked into the study.

"Just walk the path you should walk, and don't ruin your only chance of survival."

When Xu Rui's cold voice came, Xu Rong collapsed to the ground, and her tears could no longer be controlled.

From silently shedding tears to wailing loudly, I don’t know how many people were alarmed by the crying.

After crying for a long time, Xu Rong was sent back to her own yard by Deji.

Soon, Qing'er described the news about Xu Rong to Jiang Xiyu in vivid detail.

Looking at Qing'er dancing in front of him, Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but feel funny. This girl was too excited and happy.

But, to be honest, she was also very happy because Xu Rong finally got what she wanted.

After saying that, Qing'er looked at Jiang Xiyu with admiration, "Madam, you are really amazing. You really hit the nail on the head. The fifth lady is really going to marry the cousin."

Jiang Xiyu took a sip of tea with an unfathomable look on his face.

Because she had long known that for Xu Rui, anyone who stood in the way of his career would have to give way to him, no matter who it was.

Qing'er suddenly thought of something and said, "Madam, I heard that the Marquis went to the Prince of Qin's Mansion before meeting the Fifth Miss."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiyu put down the cup with a serious expression, "What is he doing at the Prince Qin's Mansion?"

Qing'er shook her head, "This servant doesn't know how to look at it."

Jiang Xiyu frowned slightly and soon understood the general situation.

The reason he went to Prince Qin's Mansion was simply because of what happened to Xu Rong last night.

Xu Rui was anxious to let Xu Rong marry Zhou Lai, which was probably partly due to Gulin. After all, Gulin had asked him to find out who spread the message, and he was naturally reluctant to hand over Lin Rouyu, so he could only sacrifice Xu Rong, a chess piece of no use.

However, Gulin...

Jiang Xiyu's face showed a very deep look.

**

It's quiet at night.

A figure quietly flew into Jingyu Garden. As soon as he entered, Gulin smelled a different fragrance from before. This time the smell was slightly stronger. He subconsciously glanced at the incense burner.

But he didn't think much about it. He walked directly to the bed with the box in his arms, lifted the gauze curtain with familiarity, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Jiang Xiyu's snow-white neck like white porcelain.

As he watched, he seemed to smell a familiar fragrance, and his throat rolled involuntarily. He clenched his fists tightly, trying hard to restrain himself.

Jiang Xiyu was trying hard to pretend to be asleep on the bed. She had already noticed Gulin when he entered the room. She had been waiting for him to come close to suck her blood while pretending to be asleep, but after waiting for a long time, she only felt that Gulin was staring at her without any movement.

Jiang Xiyu was very confused. Why was he so abnormal tonight?

In fact, Gulin came here just to deliver something. After looking for a while, when Gulin was about to turn around, he felt dizzy and weak all over.
