The Eldest Daughter Returns: Imperial Uncle, I'm Pregnant!

"Then I'll keep an eye out. I have something to do, so I'll be going now." Yu Linglong was quite worried about her grandparents. She wanted to go back and stay with the two old people. Of course, she was able to come here with her grandfather's permission. Her grandfather was happy to see the Yu family getting close to the Chu Prince's Mansion.

"Linglong, don't worry. Caiyi Pavilion has recently made several sets of men's clothing that are very nice. I've already arranged for someone to pack them up for you. I'm going back anyway, so let's go together."

"It's alright, I can go back by myself. Qingwan, you can go ahead and do what you need to do."

"What could I possibly want? I just want to see you. We haven't spoken in ages. Since you're riding in my carriage, I'll take you part of the way first, and then I'll head back to the Prince's mansion."

Yu Linglong thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "I really missed you too. By the way, I collected a lot of good things in the south this time. They're in the carriage. You can choose a few that you like to keep and play with, or you can give them away if you don't like them."

"That's great! Let's ride in your carriage. You can also recommend some fun things to do."

"Alright! As long as Your Highness doesn't mind that my carriage is simple, that's fine."

"You're such a smooth talker." Gu Qingwan laughed as she stood up and walked out one after the other with Yu Linglong.

Although Yu Linglong was dressed as a man, Gu Qingwan did not deliberately keep her distance from her, and the two chatted and laughed as they came downstairs.

Gu Qingwan instructed the shopkeeper to wrap the clothes up and put them in the carriage, so Xiao Yuheng and Gu Hanjiao only saw Yu Linglong's back when they arrived.

That is, a man helped Gu Qingwan into the carriage.

Gu Hanjiao feigned surprise, "Heavens, isn't that Princess Chu? She... how could she be so intimate with a man outside? If the Prince knew, he would probably be furious. How could she be so brazen? Isn't that a disgrace to the royal family!"

Xiao Yuheng's face turned ashen.

Gu Qingwan's rejection of him was so confident and self-assured that one might have thought she was some virtuous woman who wanted to remain faithful to the Emperor. It turns out she's just a promiscuous woman. If the Emperor finds out, she'll probably be divorced.

Although Xiao Yuheng felt ashamed of Gu Qingwan, only he knew that the jealousy in his heart had burned him beyond recognition once again. It was one thing for Xiao Jingchen to be a royal uncle with a noble status, but he was clearly just an ordinary commoner, or at most a wealthy young master. How could he compare to him, the dignified third prince!

Xiao Yuheng was about to step forward and pull Gu Qingwan off the carriage, so he could grab the pretty boy. With Gu Qingwan's weakness in his hands, he wouldn't be afraid of her refusing to comply.

At this moment, the servant boy ran over and whispered in his ear, "Third Prince, something bad has happened. The Yu family has sent word that Miss Linglong has found evidence."

Xiao Yuheng's expression immediately turned sour. If Yu Linglong really found the evidence, then things would be different.

Gu Hanjiao didn't know what had happened, but judging from the current situation, it must be a very serious matter, so she tried to offer some suggestions.

"Brother Heng, Jiao'er doesn't know what happened, but since the other party has obtained evidence but is not telling us, then it is not in our best interest."

Xiao Yuheng looked down at Gu Hanjiao and suddenly remembered that the fortune teller had said that she could help him, and that the ideas Gu Hanjiao had given him were all good ideas.

Are you really like that?

"Indeed, that's what Jiao'er thinks. Of course, maybe the other party just received the news and hasn't figured out how to discuss it with you yet."

The messenger said, "Master, Miss Linglong has been back for several days now."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. If they had been back for several days, they should have discussed this matter with the mother and son.

Gu Hanjiao was very clever. She didn't ask what had happened. Instead, she nervously grabbed Xiao Yuheng's arm and said, "Brother Heng, although I don't know what happened, the situation now is probably not the latter. You should deal with it as soon as possible."

"But you..."

"What does it matter to me? You can go without worry. I'll go back to the mansion with the carriage."

Seeing Gu Hanjiao's understanding nature, Xiao Yuheng felt both gratified and guilty. He patted Gu Hanjiao's hand but didn't tell her to go back. Instead, he gave instructions to someone.

"Since that's the case, then let's nip it in the bud. You should know how to do it."

"Yes!"

"Remember to keep your hands and feet clean." Xiao Yuheng paused for a moment and continued, "Bring Second Master in."

"My subordinate understands!"

After everyone left, Xiao Yuheng reached out and patted Gu Hanjiao, who was standing to the side.

“Let’s go, didn’t you want to buy some pretty clothes? Let’s go inside and take a look.” Once Xiao Yuheng made up his mind, he didn’t hesitate any longer.

Gu Hanjiao's smile was gentle and sweet, making her already stunning beauty even more irresistible, drawing people closer to her.

Xiao Yuheng knew in his heart that Yu Linglong was someone he couldn't win over, otherwise Yu Xinqiu wouldn't have ended up in the Third Prince's residence.

Although the Yu family is very wealthy, the old man is already old and there is no legitimate son. The second master of the Yu family is the only heir, but the old man is unwilling to hand over the Yu family to Yu Linglong, even though she is a girl.

If the Yu family will eventually belong to Yu Linglong and cannot be used by her, then she should take advantage of this good opportunity to eliminate them completely. Even if nothing is found out later, it doesn't matter, since it was all done by the second master of the Yu family.

He could sit back and reap the benefits without lifting a finger. If the second master of the Yu family could be helped, there would be no harm in giving him a hand. But if he couldn't be helped, then he shouldn't blame him for swallowing the Yu family whole.

Yu Linglong was inside the carriage telling Gu Qingwan about what was happening outside.

"Scholar? I haven't heard you talk about talented men and beautiful women yet. What's so special about this scholar that impressed you?" Gu Qingwan teased with a smile.

"What are you talking about? He's just an ordinary person. I just think he's a bit too stupid. He has nothing of his own, yet he still insists on helping others."

"That's a bit too generous."

"Exactly! The funniest thing is that he was destitute, yet when he saw that mother and daughter begging for food, he gave them the painting he was carrying, telling them to sell it for a few dollars to buy food for the child. Did he think his painting was worth a fortune?"

Gu Qingwan's ears twitched. Why did the person Linglong mentioned sound so familiar to her? Could it be Shao Yuanqing, the painter who sells paintings in the alley in the south of the city?

Has the Crown Prince not yet recruited this person? It seems she still needs to go and see for herself.

"What's wrong, Qingwan?"
