She got pregnant after the swap marriage, and the scumbag's family regretted it so much they cr

Following the driver's reminder, Lu Chengde saw the wooden sign hanging on the right side of the carriage and almost fell off.

That's the symbol of the Prince of Yan's residence!

These business families in Yanjing City all kept a genealogy book, which listed who they absolutely should not mess with.

The first page of the booklet features the decorative patterns of the Prince of Yan's residence.

Lu Chengde practically tumbled off the carriage and bowed respectfully from a distance.

"I am Lu Chengde of the Lu family in Yanjing City. May I ask which noble person from the Prince's Mansion is traveling with me? It is truly an honor to meet you here outside the city!"

The captain of the guards was only on guard, worried that someone might have ill intentions, but he never expected that the person who came was the biological father of that Miss Lu.

However, this father is far inferior to his daughter.

He remembered Gu Mama's instructions and thought that since they had already run into each other, he would save himself the trouble of sending someone over again later.

He immediately stopped the carriage, walked to the window, and said, "Granny Gu, outside is Miss Lu's father. He must have heard the news and is on his way to the Gao family."

"Hmph, you go and make sure you explain everything clearly. Otherwise, some idiots who don't know the truth will think that Huan girl is the one causing trouble!"

Inside the carriage, Granny Gu played with two pearls in her hand, while the maids beside her looked on with envy.

"Granny Gu, even when you're by the Princess's side, it's been a long time since I've seen such a perfectly round, dark pearl!"

"No!"

Even Gu Mama herself, who had seen many treasures in the palace, found pearls of this quality to be truly rare.

However, she dared not accept such a treasure without permission; she would have to report to the Prince and Princess. But even if the Prince took it, he would compensate her with a considerable sum of money, ensuring she wouldn't have made a wasted trip.

Thinking this, her smile broadened: "We still need to report to the Princess before making a decision. Don't worry about not receiving a reward; Miss Lu gave us five or six golden peanuts before, which you can share with the head guard!"

"Thank you for the reward, Granny! Thank you for the reward, Miss Lu!"

The atmosphere inside the carriage was pleasant, but the atmosphere outside was not so pleasant.

Lu Chengde wondered if he had misheard: "Sir, are you telling the truth? That child is simply outrageous! How can two people marry into the Gao family at the same time!"

The head guard secretly thought to himself: What a senile old man. No wonder Miss Lu didn't go back to the Lu family to ask for help, but instead went to the Prince's mansion for help.

"The old lady Gu in the carriage is the head maid of the Prince's mansion, bestowed by the Emperor. She was the officiant at Miss Lu's wedding, and the ceremony has already been completed."

It seems that by this time, the Gao family ancestors have already been honored.

"Granny Gu says that Miss Lu and the eldest son of the Gao family are destined for each other. Does Master Lu have any complaints about Granny Gu?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare." Lu Chengde cursed Lu Ruyi inwardly for being unreliable, failing to even relay the message completely! If he had said earlier that Lu Huan had the Prince's Mansion backing him, he wouldn't have made such a fool of himself!

At this point, he understood perfectly well that Lu Ruyi was playing word games with him!

Fortunately, they ran into people from the Prince's Mansion on the way. Otherwise, if they had rashly gone to the Gao family and scolded Lu Huan, wouldn't that have ruined the relationship between father and daughter? How would they have been able to use her to climb up to the Prince's Mansion in the future?

Lu Chengde felt a wave of fear wash over him, and he abandoned his earlier thought of rebuking Lu Huan.

"Granny Gu is right! Thank you for your advice, sir!"

The head guard pressed on, "By the way, Miss Lu has something she wants to say to Madam Lu, but I need to avoid suspicion and it's inconvenient for me to get close to women. Now that we've met Master Lu, he can convey it on her behalf."

Miss Lu said that when she alighted from the Li family's wedding sedan chair, she didn't see the two maids, Bizhu and Ziyao, and assumed they were still at the Lu family's residence. She requested that Madam Lu deliver them safely to the Gao family.

The head guard emphasized the words "in perfect condition".

"Definitely, definitely!" Lu Chengde readily agreed.

"I imagine Master Lu is worried about how to explain things to the Li family. Granny Gu has a suggestion for you; the Lu family has more than just these two young ladies. That's all I have to say, farewell!"

After saying this, the head guard ignored Lu Chengde's reaction, walked back to the carriage, and shouted, "Let's go!"

The carriage wheels rolled on the ground with a dull thud, which, along with the crisp sound of the palace bells, gradually faded into the distance.

Lu Chengde stared in the direction of the city gate, unable to figure out whether the last sentence was a suggestion or an order.

Li sat in the carriage and waited for a while, but he didn't return. She couldn't help but peek through a crack in the carriage.

"Master! What are you daydreaming about? Ruyi is waiting for us!"

Lu Chengde suddenly came to his senses and his gaze fell on Yuzhu by the carriage, which was devoid of any warmth.

As soon as the carriage curtain fell, as if he hadn't heard Li's grumbling, Lu Chengde slapped her hard across the face.

"You raised such a wonderful daughter!"

Even when Cheng first entered the family, Li never saw such a cold expression on Lu Chengde's face, let alone take action.

"Sir, what do you mean by this? Even when the government is interrogating a criminal, they give the person a chance to defend themselves. Why..."

"Yuzhu, get in here and repeat what you just said to us. If you dare to hide anything, I'll sell your whole family to work in the mines!"

Gao Yan escorted Lu Huan into the bridal chamber, then closed the door and went out to entertain guests.

Huan'er is right, today is their big day, we can't be impolite.

Gao Yan didn't really care whether it was impolite or not. After all, he had been treated like a slave for so many years, and the villagers had seen enough of his embarrassing moments.

But he couldn't embarrass his wife, and he couldn't let others laugh at her!

At this point, he didn't care about saving face anymore. He secretly observed Gao Zhongbao's posture and words, and tried to imitate him quite well.

With the addition of her wedding attire, she truly rivaled Gao Zhongbao in beauty.

His tall and strong physique made many young women and wives blush.

They all regretted not discovering sooner that Gao Yan was still unmarried, otherwise Lu Huan would never have had the chance to benefit from his marriage.

Lu Huan was unaware that her newlywed husband had attracted the attention of many young women.

She was checking her dowry list at that moment.

In her previous life, Li sent her dowry list directly to Zhou, and the next day, without even touching anything, it was all sent to the Gao family's storeroom.

They called it "keeping an eye on things for her."

Li's upbringing of Lu Huan had made her afraid to refute Zhou's words, and she didn't think that Zhou's behavior was wrong in the slightest.

Looking back now, if her dowry had been this generous in her previous life, Zhou would certainly not have been able to suppress her joy and show it at all.

It seems that Li really did shoot herself in the foot, not only returning the items to their rightful owner but also losing a lot of good things in the process.

She's definitely my biological daughter; she's so generous!

There were many treasures in the space, but Lu Huan didn't think these things were particularly valuable. However, they would be different in Gaojia Village.

The villagers all saw the dowry being moved just now, and I'm sure it won't be long before the news spreads.

When the time comes, Gao Shangzhi and his wife won't help her look after her; they'll still need to find an opportunity to put on a show.

Lu Huan walked to the door, gently bolted it, and instantly entered the space.

Gao Yan just brought her a large bowl of food, so she figured no one would be coming in anytime soon. She could then enter her spatial dimension and erase all traces of Gao Zhongbao.

The treasures on the display shelves lined up and flew towards the back warehouse, each taking up a corner.

Lu Huan didn't plan to keep any of these things; he would pawn them all the next time he went into the city.

She wanted to destroy all the furniture in the study and bedroom.
