He was hacked to death! Reborn and married to the Grand Secretary, his family wept with regret.

"Princess Ronghua, you said this person is..."

The old lady still couldn't believe it, so she asked again.

Princess Ronghua snorted coldly and then gave Gu Hongjin a perfunctory bow.

"He is none other than Lord Gu Hongjin. Years ago, my master had some acquaintance with Lord Gu, and asked him to guide my eldest son in his studies. In just half a month, my eldest son's knowledge improved by leaps and bounds."

"It's just that Lord Gu is very busy with official duties, so even if we wanted to invite him often, we wouldn't be able to. I never thought that we would end up in Ning County, and that Lord Gu, with his noble character, would be willing to teach poor children. If it weren't for Lord Gu's prior statement that he would only accept children who haven't started their studies, not to mention my brothers and sisters, even my husband would want to go and listen in!"

After Princess Ronghua finished speaking, she glared at the old lady again.

Only then did the old lady realize the seriousness of the matter. Gu Hongjin was indeed the Crown Prince's tutor and a great Confucian scholar of the time.

The old lady was momentarily embarrassed, but she still stepped forward to apologize to Gu Hongjin.

"Mr. Gu, please don't be offended. It's just that my old eyes are failing me, and I misunderstood you!"

After speaking, the old lady gave An Wuyang another sideways glance.

"Yang'er, you found such a top-notch doctor for En'er, why didn't you tell me?"

"Now that you've caused such an embarrassing situation, what is your punishment!"

In just a few words, the old lady tried to pin the blame on An Wuyang.

After all, things have escalated to this point, and she and An Wuyang have essentially broken off their relationship, so there's no need for her to pretend to be charitable anymore.

However, offending Princess Ronghua or Gu Hongjin would be absolutely unacceptable.

Seeing the situation, Ruoluo Qingfan stepped forward at the opportune moment.

She realized that the two people in front of her were influential figures. If she could seize the opportunity today and make them look at her differently, it would definitely benefit her in the future.

Luo Qingfan then deliberately showed off, saying, "Madam, since Mr. Gu is such a renowned person, I suppose he won't hold it against Sister Wuyang for not thinking things through for a moment!"

"As the saying goes, no friend is born without a fight. Although we have a misunderstanding now, it's good that it's been cleared up!"

"It just so happens that you are hosting a banquet at your residence tonight. I would be honored if Mr. Gu would do me the honor of joining you, as a way of apologizing for my apologies!"

Luo Qingfan's words drew their attention.

She was momentarily pleased with herself, thinking that she must have caught the eye of two important people.

So she glanced smugly at An Wuyang, thinking to herself that as long as she was around, An Wuyang would always be relegated to a supporting role!

Luo Qingfan stepped forward again and said to Princess Ronghua, "Such a big incident happened in Ning County yesterday, and I also heard that the lord's people arrived in Ning County. This morning I had the opportunity to enter the city lord's mansion. Because of my meritorious advice, I was granted permission by the lord to present a piece of calligraphy personally written by the lord at the banquet. You two noble people from the capital are well-traveled and knowledgeable. I would like to invite you two to appreciate it together!"

Luo Qingfan thought that her words were watertight, giving the two men face while subtly reminding them that she was someone favored by the emperor.

Luo Qingfan smiled smugly, glancing at An Wuyang with disdain in her eyes. How could a vulgar, barbaric, and foolish woman compare to her?

Li Huai-ren beamed with joy, and the old lady was even more surprised for a moment, then smiled from ear to ear: "Qingfan is indeed a good child. Her mother is so noble and noble. If we could get a piece of her calligraphy, it would be the greatest honor!"

On the other hand, Princess Ronghua and Gu Hongjin exchanged a glance, both of them looking somewhat incredulous.

Princess Ronghua said coldly, "Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"

Since Princess Ronghua had always been like this, the old lady was not surprised and introduced her, "This young lady Qingfan is Huai Ren's close friend!"

Perhaps worried that Princess Ronghua might find Luo Qingfan's status insufficient, she added, "Qingfan was originally the daughter of Prime Minister Luo."

Princess Ronghua snorted again: "I have met the daughter of Prime Minister Luo. She is a dignified and elegant young lady. After all, she was personally raised by the legitimate wife of a wealthy family, and she is a woman of unparalleled beauty!"

"Who knows where this wild duck came from?"

After saying that, Princess Ronghua glanced at Li Huai Ren again: "What close friend or not, it's all just dirty stuff!"

Princess Ronghua's words showed no mercy to anyone, belittling Luo Qingfan to the point of being worthless, which clearly demonstrated her disgust for Luo Qingfan.

Then, Princess Ronghua glanced at An Wuyang again, her eyes filled with a hint of exasperation and disappointment.

Seeing Luo Qingfan being humiliated like this, Li Huai Ren could no longer bear it and made a move to argue with Princess Ronghua.

"Your Highness's words are too sharp. Qingfan is the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, but she was switched at birth by her wet nurse. Now she has made contact with Prime Minister Luo, and she will recognize him soon after returning to the capital!"

Upon hearing Li Huai-ren's words, Princess Ronghua let out another cold laugh. She looked meaningfully at An Wu-yang and said, "It's really strange. It would be one thing if shameless people secretly switched children, but I didn't expect that even the Prime Minister's family would switch children!"

An Wuyang's brow twitched, as if some information flashed through her mind, but she couldn't grasp it!
