onsciously flicked the surface of the water, making the flowing water carry the lanterns farther: "Go, go far away, and all my wishes will come true!""What did you wish for" He took out a handkerchief...“Greetings, Young Master Wu!” Xiao Yufu slightly bowed her body in greeting, also deliberately keeping a distance from him. After all, she was now the prince’s concubine, and running out like this was already inappropriate. If someone saw her meeting with an outsider again, the rumors spreading would likely make Prince Si Chen despise her even more.

"Miss Xiao, you don't need to be so polite." Wu Gang felt a little disappointed when he saw her being so distant.

"If the Second Prince of Wu has nothing else, I shall take my leave!" Xiao Yufu was afraid of being seen and subconsciously wanted to leave.

"Miss Xiao!" But Wu Gang, in his haste, grabbed her. He had only just seen her, and of course, he didn't want her to leave like this.

"Young Master Wu, please control yourself!" Xiao Yufu's face paled in fright, and she instinctively took a step back.

"Miss Xiao, I meant no offense. I just wanted to talk to you." Wu Gang saw that he had frightened her and his face was full of apology.

"What do you want to tell me" Xiao Yufu seemed very afraid of his approach. After all, now, even a slight breeze could become a big deal. With so many changes happening, she was truly scared.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Seeing her so scared of him, Wu Gang felt even more downcast: "I just want to tell you, ever since I first saw you at the market, I was deeply attracted to you..."

"Be quiet!" Xiao Yufu's heart pounded in her chest. "If you say another word, I'll scream!"

"Miss Xiao, I'm not lying. Every word I said is true from the heart. I have feelings for you. I had planned to ask my father to propose to your family after the banquet, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this..."

Xiao Yufu lowered her head and remained silent. Her pitiful appearance made Wu Gang feel even more heartache.

"Miss Xiao, I know you've been wronged at the Prince's Manor. If you're willing, I can take you away..." This was Wu Gang's true purpose for coming here to see her today.

"I will not!" Xiao Yufu resolutely refused him: "You are the prince, and I am already the concubine of the prince. There will never be any intersection between us. Today we have never met, and I have never heard anything you said." After speaking, she turned and gracefully left.

Even if she were to become a consort of the prince, and when the prince ascended the throne, she would still only be a concubine. A mere princess consort She certainly wouldn't give it a second thought.

What is deemed impossible is nothing more than lacking the resources to surpass expectations.

"Miss Xiao!" Looking at her departing back, Wu Gang felt heartbroken. He only thought that she had an unavoidable hardship, and his heart sank even deeper. He secretly made up his mind: "Miss Xiao, I won't give up on you!"

"Young Master! Young Master!" Just then, the young attendant rushed over, out of breath.

"Little Bean Sprout, what happened" Wu Gang frowned slightly: Could it be that Father and Mother were quarreling again

As it turns out, the seemingly devoted couple, Marquis Jinzhou and Princess Shuxiu, were not as they appeared to outsiders. Princess Shuxiu was arrogant and willful, far from the gentle and virtuous woman people perceived her to be. While Marquis Wu Feng seemed honest and straightforward on the surface, he was actually a notorious philanderer in private.

"Young Master, something big has happened!"

"What's going on Spit it out!" Wu Gang's face no longer held the simple, naive expression from before. Instead, a sinister and deep look had taken over.

"Both of the Marquis's mistresses are heavily pregnant and came over last night. They are currently outside the Marquis's garden, shouting and making a scene, crying for the Marquis to take responsibility." Little Bean was also sweating profusely.

"They actually came" Wu Gang's eyes turned cold: "Didn't I tell you to send them all away How could you let them appear here" Something seemed amiss.

"Young Master, the servant truly doesn't know. At that time, it was according to your orders, I gave them silver and sent them away, you see." Xiao Douzi was also at a loss, he didn't know where the problem lay either.

"With all this commotion, it's likely the Emperor will find out. We need to be prepared." Wu Gang pursed his lips and narrowed his cold eyes: "To get the Emperor to pass down the title of Marquis of Jinzhou to me, I'll have to put in more effort."

He pondered for a moment, then continued, “The twins are probably about to be born. That Taoist priest said back then that our family mustn't have a male child born during the seventh day of the seventh month, otherwise he would steal the heir's fortune. It seems like it's almost over, yet they actually came. Then don't blame me!” A look of ruthless determination flashed in his eyes.

"Young Master, what do you intend to do"

"Let's go back and take another look." Wu Gang couldn't help but glance in the direction Xiao Yufu had left, a barely perceptible smile playing at the corner of his lips. He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave with a stride.

Moonlit Pavilion.

"What are you doing here" Xiao Yu Ge didn't expect Qian Si Chen to dare appear before her.

“Ge'er, are you alright” Qian Sichin hadn’t slept well since Ge'er left that night. He had seen the little imperial uncle carry her away with his own eyes, but there was nothing he could do, he could only watch helplessly as she was taken away.

She had been given that drug, and now she was unharmed. He already knew what had happened, especially seeing the shyness on her face like a flower after the rain, every move she made exuded a femininity unique to women. This jealousy drove him to madness: She really had... with Little Imperial Uncle...

"Didn't you see it all" Her red lips curled into a smirk, and a hint of mockery gleamed in her beautiful eyes. The Empress had plotted a thousand schemes, even using a love potion that she couldn't decipher herself, but she never expected... she ended up making wedding clothes for others.

Qian Si Chen pursed her lips, but couldn't help asking, "You and the little imperial uncle, you..." She would rather believe that the little imperial uncle was incapable, than to believe that she and the little imperial uncle had already consummated their marriage.

"This all thanks to Her Majesty the Empress. Otherwise, my husband, a thousand swords will never be so quick to consummate our marriage." Xiao Yuge smiled sweetly, but her eyes were as cold as frost.

"Ge'er, I truly don't know what my mother would do... " Qian Si Chen's heart ached like being twisted. His beloved woman had become someone else's, how could he not be heartbroken

"It's pointless to talk about it now, so why did His Highness come to see me today" Xiao Yuge didn't want to hear his apology.

"Ge'er, I don't mind you being with Xiao Huangshu... I truly love you. Can't you give me another chance" Though he had already decided to let go, the moment he saw her, he changed his mind. He didn't want to let go, not at all.

"So you don't mind what happened between him and me"

Qian Si held her hand tightly, but in the end still sadly lowered her eyes: "......It's alright."

"I mind!" Xiao Yu Ge looked at him coldly, her eyes narrowed. In her past life, Qian Si Chen had soared freely and never lowered himself like this. But in her previous life, she had loved him so much that she was humbled to the dust. Had he ever shown her any pity Why, reborn, would she have sympathy for him"Who is she putting on this lovelorn act for" She snorted coldly, turning and walking towards Ruyifang. She knew someone there had already prepared her favorite food."Why are you back so late Didn't s...
