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

When Gu Linglong heard that she had to use her luminous pearl to compensate, she felt like the sky had fallen. She hadn't had enough of it yet, and she hadn't even seen what the luminous pearl looked like at night.

[I won't pay. I treated your leg, and now you want me to pay? Waaah... Then go ask my older brother for it. My older brother is rich. Don't try to take my luminous pearl as payment.]

Gu Linglong gripped the luminous pearl even tighter.

Gu Yu'an: "..."

Gu Yu'an: "I'm sorry, Fourth Prince, I'll make you a replacement for the clothes later."

The Fourth Prince waved his hand: "I'll go change my clothes first, and I'll change Linglong's too, so she won't feel uncomfortable."

"Yes, Princess, Fourth Prince, Sixth Prince, I shall take my leave now."

Gu Yu'an took Linglong downstairs to change her clothes.

Wang Fugui ran out, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Lord White Tiger...actually...actually..."

[Actually what?]

Wang Fugui, somewhat guilty, touched his index finger to his index finger and said, "Actually, you don't have to pee."

My urine has a spirit, it has the power of life, do you understand?

Wang Fugui: "You can use a spirit-gathering talisman."

I don't have a spirit-gathering talisman.

Wang Fugui picked at its non-existent nails: "The system has them."

Gu Linglong's eyes widened instantly. [Why didn't you say so earlier? You embarrassed me so much!]

Wang Fugui lowered his head sharply: "I forgot. I wouldn't have remembered if your aunt hadn't been injured last time."

Gu Linglong [Complaint, I want to complain]

Wang Fugui carefully reassured him, "No, Lord White Tiger, I've already figured it out. This system has points; as long as you help the protagonist or someone important to the protagonist, your points will increase."

Gu Linglong, recalling her earlier embarrassment, blushed with anger. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Wang Fugui: "I...forgot."

Gu Linglong: [Ah...ah...I'm going to complain about you!]

Wang Fugui: "No, I'll give you a few more storybooks."

Gu Linglong was so angry she shut herself off. [Go check on the Fourth Prince, make sure Li Xiaohan doesn't get her way!]

"Okay, okay!"

Wang Fugui flew away quickly; as long as no one complained about him, everything was fine.

Under the small bridge on the other side.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Li Xiaohan with exasperation: "Why aren't you going yet? Didn't I give you the medicine?"

Li Xiaohan, being a lady from a respectable family, hesitated, clutching her handkerchief: "Xiaoxiao, I don't think this is a good idea. Besides, if the Fourth Prince takes a liking to me, wouldn't all this be for nothing?"

Lin Xiaoxiao scoffed, "What kind of pipe dream are you having? Even if the Fourth Prince is disabled, he's still the Emperor's own son. You, someone who's already broken off an engagement, still want to marry a prince? Don't dream about it."

Li Xiaohan argued, "It was Gu Yu'an who wanted to break off the engagement, it wasn't my fault, so how can you blame me?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Are you stupid? It was Gu Yu'an who broke off the engagement, but all the good reputation went to Gu Yu'an. Don't you know what people outside are saying about your Li family?"

"People outside say that your Li family are sycophants who don't keep their promises."

"With your current reputation, you wouldn't even be able to get past the gates of a fourth-rank official, let alone a family like the Gu family."

Li Xiaohan: "No, it can't be that exaggerated. The Earl's youngest son even came to propose marriage a while ago."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Then it's up to you. The Earl's mansion is grand, but his youngest son has already taken several concubines. Think it through. Although the Fourth Prince is disabled, won't you be the one in charge of this mansion in the future?"

Li Xiaohan was somewhat tempted, and she nodded, "I understand."

She doesn't want to marry down or find someone from a similar social class. Otherwise, what was the point of trying to please Su Xiuran all these years?

Lin Xiaoxiao is right. Even if the Fourth Prince is disabled, he has a high status. Once he marries into the family, he can do whatever he wants.

Lin Xiaoxiao watched Li Xiaohan's departing figure and sneered, "Idiot!"

Gu Yu'an, Gu Yu'an, you must be heartbroken to find out that the woman you love is having an affair with someone else, right?

I can't wait to see your expression.

...

Wang Fugui obtained important intelligence and quickly reported it to Gu Linglong.

What? Li Xiaohan and Lin Xiaoxiao are getting together?!

Gu Yu'an paused in changing his younger sister's clothes, then continued as if nothing had happened.

[Is Li Xiaohan really planning to drug the Fourth Prince? Oh my god, does this mean I'll lose all my points if I don't stop her?]

Wang Fugui: "Logically speaking, that should be the case."

【What should we do? What should we do? Big brother, take me to the Fourth Prince quickly! We can't let Li Xiaohan get away with this! Why did she drug the Fourth Prince instead of Zhao Qian, who was proposing to her? She's so annoying!】

Zhao Qian? The youngest son of the Earl's family?

Gu Liyao stood to the side with his mouth agape. Was it really that exciting?

Gu Yu'an picked up Linglong and said, "The Fourth Prince is also changing clothes nearby. I'll go find him and we'll go to the Flower Appreciation Hall together."

Gu Yu'an whispered a few words in Gu Liyao's ear, and Gu Liyao understood instantly.

Wow, that's great! Maybe we can finally see a good show!

When Gu Yu'an arrived at the Fourth Prince's door, there was no one inside.

Gu Yu'an's heart skipped a beat.

Could they have already succeeded?

The guards pushed the fourth prince past the small lake, where they saw a figure in blue standing under a willow tree.

As they approached, the figure turned around.

"Greetings, Fourth Prince"

The fourth prince frowned slightly: "Get up."

As she spoke, she waved to signal the guards to continue forward, but Li Xiaohan stopped the Fourth Prince.

"Fourth Prince, I have heard that you are well-versed in the classics, and I have come here specifically to seek your guidance."

A hint of impatience appeared on the fourth prince's face: "Get out of the way."

Li Xiaohan's eyes were filled with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice: "Fourth Prince..."

The guards behind him shouted angrily, "Get out of the way! How dare you block the Fourth Prince's path? Are you tired of living?"

The fourth prince secretly crushed the talisman given to him by Chu Jingyan.

Chu Jingyan sensed the talisman's summons and immediately glanced down at the young master who had come to chat him up.

"Hey... Sixth Prince, Sixth Prince, we were having a good talk, why are you leaving?"

"Hey, wait for me..."

Chu Jingyan ignored him and headed straight for the place indicated by the talisman.

Gu Yu'an also rushed over. He walked along the road to the flower hall, searching as he went, and even sent away the servants around him to search each room one by one.

Li Xiaohan seemed startled by the guard's words and took a few steps back in fear.

"Ah, Fourth Prince, save me!"

The maidservant cried out anxiously, "Help! My young lady has fallen into the water!"

Li Xiaohan was thrashing about in the lake; she wouldn't have done this if she hadn't been desperately looking for an opportunity to drug the fish.

Another maid found a stick and tried to pull Li Xiaohan away.

The guard asked, "This..."

"Never mind, let's go."

"Yes"

The maid immediately stopped the fourth prince and his entourage. She was a little scared, and her voice was trembling, but there was nothing she could do. The lives of her entire family were in her mistress's hands.

"Fourth Prince, you can't shirk your responsibilities just because you're a prince, can you?"

Only then did the guards understand the purpose of this young lady from the Li family.

"How dare you! What responsibility do you have? If you dare to spout nonsense again, don't blame me for being impolite."

The maidservant mustered her courage and said, "Having seen my young mistress's body, you should take responsibility."
