After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

Gu Yu'an smiled and said, "If none of you can solve it, how could the two of us possibly solve it?"

"Why not give it a try? We all know you single-handedly defeated Tianxing Academy; maybe you really can solve it."

"That's right, you two are the only two here who haven't tried it yet."

Gu Yu'an: "Alright then."

Gu Yu'an carefully observed the nine-linked rings before starting to solve them.

Gu Linglong opened her eyes wide and watched curiously as her older brother solved the Nine Linked Rings puzzle.

Gu Yu'an shook his head; he couldn't untangle it.

Just as he was about to return it, he heard his younger sister's inner thoughts.

[What's so difficult about that? Just throw it down, and it'll break and then you'll be able to untangle it.]

Gu Yu'an's hand trembled, and he almost dropped it.

My little sister is really bold! This nine-linked ring belongs to the eldest princess, and the jade is of superior quality with intricate craftsmanship, so it's clearly not an ordinary item.

I can't afford to pay for it if it breaks.

Before Gu Yu'an could return it, Gu Linglong waved her chubby little hand.

"Dong dong dong, release date confirmed!"

The nine-linked rings fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

See? It's solved.

Gu Liyao's mouth opened into an "o" shape.

This girl is so brave!

The servant immediately summoned the Princess.

The people around fell silent, then a murmur of dismay rippled through them.

"Brother Yu'an, we're doomed! This nine-linked ring is the Princess's most prized possession!"

"Yes, the nine-linked rings are very complex to make, and no shop sells them anymore."

"I heard that this nine-linked rings was a gift from the Imperial Advisor to the Princess, and it's priceless."

"The Gu family is already in dire straits. Wouldn't offending the Eldest Princess only make things worse?"

"Sigh, the Gu family is really unlucky."

Gu Liyao looked to Gu Yu'an for help.

It's over now!

Only the Sixth Prince gave Gu Linglong a meaningful look. The solution was solved, but the method was a bit reckless!

When the eldest princess arrived and saw the shattered pieces on the ground, her heart seemed to break as well.

It seems that there is truly no one who can save their princess's residence.

The old woman bowed to the two princes. Looking at the broken pieces on the ground, she felt a pang of pain in her heart. Could it be that their princess could not escape the fate of being married off to a foreign land?

The old woman's tone was tinged with Jie Yue's anger: "Which young master broke the nine-linked rings of our princess's residence?"

"The Eldest Princess"

Gu Yu'an cupped his hands in a respectful gesture. "It was an accident I broke. I'll definitely pay for it no matter the price."

"never mind"

The eldest princess waved her hand, "No need."

It's all fate!

The nanny panicked: "Your Highness, this was a gift from the Imperial Preceptor! This...this is broken..."

The nanny didn't finish her sentence. If this is broken, how can we find the noble person to rescue the princess's mansion?

Chu Jingyan spoke up, "Aunt, although the nine-linked rings are broken, they can still be solved, can't they?"

The princess was suddenly taken aback. Chu Jingyan's words were like a wake-up call, shattering her senses but also resolving her confusion.

The eldest princess looked at Gu Yu'an. He was handsome and talented, and a little younger than Jin Yang. They would have been a good match in the past, but now...

The Gu family is already struggling to survive, so how can they possibly save the Princess's residence?

Chu Jingyan comforted her, "Aunt, please don't blame me. It was the baby in Gu Liyao's arms who accidentally kicked the nine-linked rings, causing them to break."

The eldest princess looked at Gu Linglong and asked, "May I have a hug?"

Gu Liyao carefully handed Gu Linglong into the arms of the eldest princess.

The soft, fluffy thing reminded her of Jin Yang when she was little.

Gu Linglong gave the princess a big smile.

"Ah, so this is the Eldest Princess. What a pity, not long after, her daughter, Princess Jinyang, will be sent to the Northern Kingdom for a political marriage. The Eldest Princess has been ill ever since, alas..."

Princess Jinyang was both literate and skilled in martial arts, but her marriage to the Northern Kingdom was unhappy. After her husband's death, she was forced to marry his biological father, who was also her father-in-law. On her wedding night, she killed her father-in-law and committed suicide.

Thinking of the eldest princess of Daqing, who stole the city defense map of the Northern Kingdom before committing suicide and gave it to her guards to escape, what a pity...

Gu Yu'an and the others were all taken aback, not expecting the princess to be so loyal and patriotic.

The eldest princess looked at Gu Linglong in her arms, her feelings a mix of emotions.

An infant? How could an infant save the Princess's residence?

Or perhaps the Gu family was able to save the Princess's mansion from its crisis?

The eldest princess said softly, "This child really looks like Jinyang when he was little, both of them were chubby."

Chu Jingyan laughed and said, "Shouldn't my aunt's prize be given to her?"

"Give it to me!"

The eldest princess looked at Gu Linglong's fair face and asked, "Do you want the luminous pearl?"

Gu Linglong danced excitedly in his arms, expressing her desire.

"Don't want it? If you don't want it, then forget it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Linglong burst into tears.

I want it! Waaah, I want a luminous pearl!

Why are you crying?

The eldest princess found it intriguing; could someone so young already understand? She tentatively asked again, "If you want it, I'll give it to you."

Gu Linglong stopped crying instantly, clapped her hands, and giggled.

The princess was amused by her; this girl was truly clever. She immediately ordered someone to bring her a luminous pearl.

Everyone around was incredulous.

Is this okay?

If I had known it was this easy, I would have fallen myself, but no one thought much of it.

Although it was broken, the puzzle was indeed solved, and the luminous pearl should indeed be obtained by the person who broke the nine-linked rings.

Although the old nanny didn't understand the princess's behavior, she was charmed by Gu Linglong and praised her, saying, "This young lady is so beautiful and intelligent."

Gu Yu'an: "You flatter me, Granny."

The luminous pearl was brought out, and Gu Linglong held onto it tightly, looking like she would get angry if anyone tried to take it away.

Wow, this is a luminous pearl! It's so bright and so big!

Feeling that holding her in her arms wasn't enough, she even tried to bite her. The princess immediately stopped her and gently pinched Gu Linglong's nose.

"You can't eat this!"

The fourth prince watched with envy; he hadn't even held Gu Linglong yet, while his aunt had been holding her for so long.

"Aunt, this child is quite heavy, don't tire yourself out, let me carry him."

"Okay, here, give me a hug. Practice how to hold a baby beforehand. If you find a girl you like today, you can hold a baby next year."

The fourth prince pursed his lips, clearly unsure how to answer.

[As I told you, fourth brother, I'm not fat, I'm just so cute I'm bursting with cuteness]

Chu Jingyan covered his mouth and chuckled.

If you call me fat again, I'll give you a taste of your own medicine and show you that you can't call a girl fat.

Want something drastic?

Gu Yu'an and Gu Liyao thought of something at the same time, exchanged a glance, and silently took a step back, distancing themselves from the Fourth Prince.

Gu Linglong clenched her small hands into fists and began to exert her power. Her face turned red, and she was a little shy, but she didn't care anymore.

The fourth prince felt his hands were wet, and when he looked down, his legs were wet too.

The fourth prince was somewhat taken aback. Had he wet himself?

Hahaha, who told you to say I'm heavy? But my urine has a special power; it's good for your health. You're welcome.

Chu Jingyan was stunned. Urine had a spiritual quality?

Unheard of! Could it be that Gu Linglong is a reincarnated deity?

The fourth prince, who had been urinated on, showed no disgust or contempt on his face. He just shook his head helplessly and squeezed Gu Linglong's chubby little hand fiercely.

But he didn't actually use any force; his eyes were full of helpless indulgence.

"You got my clothes wet, so pay me back with your luminous pearl!"
