The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

There were about two steps between them.

They were already very close, and Gu Yiwen found the pale, handsome face of the person in front of her to be exceptionally captivating.

He's so handsome. Gu Yiwen really wanted to kiss his face.

If it were any other woman, she might blush and take a step back, but Gu Yiwen was fearless.

She stepped forward, bringing their faces very close. Looking up at the man before her, she said, "If I say yes, will you be angry and embarrassed? If I say no, will you take advantage of me?"

The two were very close. Xiao Yuqi met Gu Yiwen's bright and sharp eyes, and the girl's faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

In fact, Xiao Yuqi had never had such close contact with a woman before.

When Gu Yiwen suddenly got so close to him, his heart actually started racing.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that Gu Yiwen was indeed special, quite different from ordinary women, exuding a kind of forthright and bold spirit.

The two stared at each other for a while, but Xiao Yuqi was the first to give in.

His Adam's apple bobbed, he swallowed hard, and took a step back.

He raised his hand in a bow and said, "I was impolite."

As she spoke, she took out the handkerchief from her bosom. The handkerchief was neatly folded, and the white handkerchief emitted a faint fragrance, almost imperceptible.

"This is the handkerchief that the young lady left at Tianji Garden. I found it and am now returning it to its rightful owner." Xiao Yuqi handed the handkerchief to Gu Yiwen.

Gu Yiwen took the handkerchief, and it was indeed in his hands.

"Thank you very much, sir."

"May I ask your honorable name, young master?" Gu Yiwen asked.

Ah Ying had previously said that she didn't want him to know his identity.

I don't know if he's willing to tell me honestly.

Xiao Yuqi didn't want her to know his identity as a prince; he wanted to see what this girl was like in private.

But when the girl asked him, he suddenly couldn't bear to lie to her.

So he honestly replied, "My surname is Xiao, and my given name is Yuqi."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yiwen felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Xiao Yuqi? Isn't that the Ninth Prince's name?

Is her future husband the man standing right in front of her?

This is great!

She finally met someone she clicked with, and it turned out to be her future husband!

"Are you His Highness the Ninth Prince?" Gu Yiwen was not very shrewd; his joy was evident in his voice.

The Ninth Prince was taken aback. Why was she so happy to know my identity?

“Exactly,” Xiao Yuqi replied.

Gu Yiwen had just realized what was happening when he saw His Highness and was about to bow.

Xiao Yuqi immediately replied, "There's no need to stand on ceremony when you're out and about."

Then, with a half-smile, he looked at Gu Yiwen and asked, "Do you still think I'm a lecher?"

Gu Yiwen stuck out her tongue and said, "This humble woman dares not."

"Are you going home?" Xiao Yuqi asked.

Gu Yiwen: "Yes."

"I send you."

Gu Yiwen was stunned for a moment.

They weren't being polite at all.

Anyway, he's her future husband, so let's just give him a gift.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

This time, Xiao Yuqi was stunned, then a smile appeared on his lips.

This woman is quite unpretentious.

Gu Gaoyuan felt stifled and went for a walk in the yard.

As a result, they saw Gu Yiwen with a man, chatting and laughing together.

Gu Gaoyuan wondered, who was that man? And why was he with Yiwen?

Could it be that Yiwen has found a lover outside? No wonder she didn't insist on marrying him this time!

The man looked somewhat familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before.

Just then, the man turned around.

The moment Gu Gaoyuan saw the man, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Isn't that the Ninth Prince?

Yiwen has a surprisingly close relationship with the Ninth Prince!

He had just clearly seen the Ninth Prince give Gu Yiwen a handkerchief.

Gu Gaoyuan's face was somewhat pale.

He had hoped that his daughter's marriage would bring him great success.

Unexpectedly, the daughter she had driven away had actually gotten involved with the Ninth Prince.

He thought Gu Yiwen would never marry a good man in her life.

She even remembered saying something like, "If you can marry someone of high status, I'll eat shit upside down," and felt her face flush red and then pale.

At this moment, he felt deep regret.

Why kick Gu Yiwen out of the house? Why treat your own daughter like this?

If Yiwen hadn't severed ties with her family, she could have married into the Ninth Prince's household. Not only would she have been able to help him and ensure his success in his career, but they wouldn't have had to worry about money.

Unlike now, we have no money left at home and are even in debt to loan sharks!

If he had treated Gu Yiwen a little better all these years and hadn't been so biased towards the Xue mother and daughter, things wouldn't have turned out this way with Yiwen, right?

Thinking of this, he began to blame Xue Shi and Gu Yilan again.

Xue was also tired from crying, so she went outside for some fresh air.

Then they saw Gu Gaoyuan, whose face was deathly pale.

When Gu Gaoyuan saw her come out, he said in an annoyed tone, "Thank you so much for letting me break off my marriage with Yiwen. She's now hooked up with the Ninth Prince, and the two of them are very close!"

As Xue watched Gu Yiwen's departing figure, she saw that he was indeed with a man.

The pupils contract slightly.

Gu Yiwen, that little vixen, actually managed to get close to the Ninth Prince?

Her daughter suffered in the Zhao family, but Gu Yiwen climbed up to the Ninth Prince!

Madam Xue cursed, "This little slut, even if she manages to get close to the Ninth Prince, she can only be a concubine!"

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Gaoyuan slapped her across the face.

"Snapped!"

Xue felt a burning pain on her cheek. Gu Gaoyuan hadn't held back after hitting her, and it was probably swollen and red by now.

She looked at Gu Gaoyuan in disbelief. He wasn't like this before. Why was he beating her like this in the yard?

The servants are all watching!

She felt increasingly aggrieved as she recalled what had happened that day. Her daughter had been abused, and Gu Gaoyuan didn't care at all. She had just cried so hard she was about to suffocate, and Gu Gaoyuan had even hit her.

"Shut up! If it weren't for your stirring up trouble all these years, how could Yiwen have become estranged from me!" Gu Gaoyuan said angrily.

Having experienced too many changes today, Madam Xue had become somewhat reckless. Covering her face, she shouted, "Since you know this, why are you still biased towards us, mother and daughter! We're all just following your lead! If you, as the ruler, don't care about her, who will truly treat her well!"

Over the years, the Xue family had bullied Gu Yiwen, initially believing they were highly skilled, but Gu Gaoyuan was unaware of this.

But later I found out that Gu Gaoyuan knew, but he just couldn't be bothered to care.

Gu Gaoyuan was stunned for a moment after hearing Xue's words.

Xue is right.

Over the years, if it weren't for his indifference, how could he have pushed his daughter so far away!

The Ninth Prince and Gu Yiwen walked side by side.

Gu Yilan was sitting in the Zhao family's carriage when she saw Gu Yiwen and Xiao Yuqi's departing figures.

She was taken aback.

Who is the man next to Gu Yi?

Gu Yilan looked at the man through the gap in the carriage curtain. He was tall and thin, and his clothes were obviously expensive.

Even the attendants following behind him were dressed quite exquisitely.

He seems like the son of a wealthy family.

The two were chatting and laughing.

Gu Yiwen, could it be that you've hooked up with some rich young master?
