alling into deep thought. She had already recognized that He Zhuangzhu was someone she knew, but she still couldn't figure it out. She never expected that the other party would be the master of Hongxi...As soon as this was mentioned, the teacup in Xiao Yu's hand trembled violently. She whipped her head around to face him, her eyes still filled with pain and hatred: "What do you want me to do Give me Lou Lan back. Can you You can't! Then why should I forgive you" A single tear slid silently down her pale cheek. The death of Lou Lan was a wound in her heart that would never heal.

"Song'er, I'm sorry..." Chu Tianqi's heart was trembling. This wasn't the result he wanted.

Xiao Yu's song softly wiped away the tears on her face, taking a deep breath: "Why did you have to kill Loulan Why was it you I can't accept Loulan leaving, and I can't forgive you!"

Chu Tianqi staggered back a step: "Ge'er, do you know If I could, I would be willing to pay for Xu Loulan!" Does she only forgive him if he dies

“I don't want you to pay for Loulan with your life. You owe her the most, so don't stain her path! Besides, you are the hope of your parents and the entire Xiao family. If something happens to you, your parents will be heartbroken and devastated. So, you have to live well for me!”

"Ge'er, what about you If something happened to me, would you be sad" Chu Tianqi looked at her with hopeful eyes, wanting to know the answer but also afraid to hear the heartbreaking one.

Xiao Yu Ge also stared at him, dumbfounded, until footsteps seemed to come from outside. She pursed her lips: "Yes! I will be sad! It's for my parents!" What she was truly sad about was that if what he said had happened and it wasn't caused by her, she would feel regretful.

Actually, she was also conflicted inside. The Xiao family's elders had high hopes for Chu Tianqi. If something really happened to him, the Xiao family's elders would probably find it hard to accept. This is also the real reason why she has never attacked him or Xiao Yufu all along.

Although Xiao Yuge's words were still cold, Chu Tianqi was very happy. The fact that she was sad proved that she still cared about him in her heart. If Zhao Si hadn't interrupted, he would have rushed forward to hug Ge'er.

Of course, all of this was calculated by Xiao Yuge. As she said, she looked at everything with compassion, but in reality, she was heartless. After living her life again, she had already learned how to capture a man's heart. If she had such thoughts in her previous life, perhaps Xu wouldn't have ended up that way.

"Master, all the embroiderers have arrived!" Zhao Si reported.

"Good! Let's go up the stairs!" Chu Tianqi steadied his mind and looked at Xiao Yuge's eyes with tenderness and affection: "Ge'er, you just wait here, don't worry, I will arrange people to find evidence, and won't let Ruyi Pavilion have anything happen!"

"I'll go take a listen too." Xiao Yuge still decided to go and see for herself, after all, Fang Minrou was targeting her. If she didn't go, wouldn't that ruin their fun

Chu Tianqi couldn't resist her, so he had to agree.

After a thorough interrogation, it turned out that a seamstress surnamed Wu was missing an embroidery needle. Each seamstress's needles were specially made and had their own markings. After comparing them, it was confirmed that the poisoned needle used in the attack belonged to her.

Now, with both eyewitness and physical evidence available, Ruyifang is caught red-handed. Although Chutianqi has a mind to spare Ruyifang, in the face of such compelling evidence, he can't let Wu Xiu'n go. As for Feng Yianing, the madam of Ruyifang, she too cannot escape punishment.

And Chu Tianqi also ordered that Ruyifang would be temporarily suspended until the matter was clarified!

As soon as Xiao Yuge stepped out of the gates of the Imperial Court, Fan Minrou appeared before her with the triumphant air of a victor: "Xiao Yuge, Ruyi Pavilion has been shut down. If you had agreed to my terms back then, I could have guaranteed you a life of comfort and security. Why would you end up homeless like this" After a pause, she continued, "If you truly have nowhere else to go, my place is looking for someone to wash feet. If you were to come, as an old acquaintance, the County Lord will give you a bit more monthly silver. How does that sound" She and Liu's Madam then burst into laughter together.

Xiao Yu's song was not annoyed, and even her face still had a faint smile: "Thank you for your concern, Miss Fang. However, you have put me in a difficult position. Before, I had Ruyi Pavilion as a shield, no matter what the prince said, I refused to live in his mansion. Now that Ruyi Pavilion has been closed, I don't even have an excuse to refuse. It seems that I can only agree to live in the prince's mansion."

As expected, Fang Minrou couldn't contain her anger upon hearing this: "Xiao Yuge, you are a young woman with no name or status. How can you possibly live in the Prince's Mansion Do you even know what propriety and decorum are"

Xiao Yu's song lightly raised her eyebrows: "How do you know I have no relationship with the King Besides, it's just three letters and six betrothal gifts, ten miles of red makeup at most. As long as I want to, I can have it tomorrow." Hmph! Serves you right for making me angry!

Fang Minru was furious, but she still wouldn't show weakness: "Xiao Yuge, do you think you're still the legitimate daughter of the Xiangfu You're just a bastard! Do you think Brother Tingxuan will marry you He's just interested in you because you're something new and exciting. Ten miles red makeup Don't dream!"

Xiao Yu Ge didn't get angry or upset, she just wore a calm and collected expression: "Even if he fancies me for being fresh, it's because I'm still new. Some people aren't as fresh anymore, the Prince probably wouldn't even glance at them." Besides, angering someone to death won't cost her anything!

"You!" Fang Min was so angry she almost spat blood.

"My lady, your status is noble. You shouldn't stoop to arguing with a common girl." Madam Liu also chimed in from the side, fanning herself and adding fuel to the fire: "Miss Xiao, a person is valued for their shame. Perhaps you are acting recklessly because of your youth and beauty, but beauty fades like smoke and mirrors. How can it compare to the deep bond between the County Princess and the Prince that has lasted from childhood If I were you, Miss Xiao, I would stay far away and avoid future heartache."

"It's a pity you're not me!" Xiao Yuge didn't spare her any kindness either. She dared to team up with Fang Minrou to frame Ruyi Pavilion, which was unforgivable: "Therefore, you are destined to only be able to hook up with Young Master Shao, while I can hook up with the Prince." One to kill one, a pair to kill a pair!

"You! You have no shame!" Madam Liu was so angry that she almost choked to death.

“Shame” Xiao Yuge snorted coldly: “I’m not ashamed. It’s because the Prince is being so persistent. Oh, I forgot, Miss Fang was also quite persistent, but the Prince simply ignored her. Don't you think it's infuriating” She wanted to see if she could drive him half to death with anger.

“You! Xiao Yuge! You dare to say that His Royal Highness is pestering you relentlessly! Your face is really thick! You have no shame and are so arrogant. I must teach you a lesson today, let you stop talking nonsense here and ruining Brother Tingxuan’s reputation!” Fang Minrou was so angry that her face flushed red. Her posture seemed like she wanted to tear Xiao Yuge in half.

Xiao Yu ge moved her neck, she hadn't stretched in a long time. This was a good opportunity to practice!devastated. So, you have to live well for me!”"Ge'er, what about you If something happened to me, would you be sad" Chu Tianqi looked at her with hopeful eyes, wanting to know the answer but also afra...
