ope you have the same luck today!"< >Xiao Yufu heard this, her figure stiffened abruptly: "You mean, the honey just now was yours...">"I'm not that stupid to use poison or honey. Hmph! Naive! But I'..."As you command!" Seeing the smile on Master's lips, Mingyang shook his head and sighed inwardly. He had said it before, Master was never kind, of course, except to the future princess.

It is said that Xiao Yufu, feeling a surge of anger after being wronged at Ruyifang, went back home in a huff. For some unknown reason, she found herself inexplicably drawn to Mingzhugong, the residence her sister Xiao Yuge used to live in. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw two maids diligently tending to the flowers and plants that Xiao Yuge had cultivated on a daily basis. Even though everyone had left, they were still meticulously caring for these things. This infuriated Xiao Yufu, who kicked over the flowers with several stomps.

"Miss..." Her sudden action frightened the two maids. They couldn't believe that the usually gentle and kind young lady, who always spoke softly, had become so terrifying.

"What do you call me" Xiao Yu'fu glared at them fiercely, giving An Ling a look: "An Ling, slap them until they admit their mistake!"

"Yes, my lady!" Anling walked up to the two maids and slapped them repeatedly on both sides, leaving bloody streaks at the corners of their mouths.

"My lady! I know I was wrong! Please, my lady, forgive me this time!" The two maids finally understood where they had gone wrong.

Xiao Yu Fu looked at their pitiful appearance with satisfaction, letting out a cold snort, and motioning An Ling to stop. "Xiao Yu Ge isn't here anymore, are you still doing all this useless stuff The Xiangfu bought you here to let you slack off"

"My lady, please calm your anger. This was ordered by Madam. She instructed us to take good care of all the flowers and plants that Second Miss has planted. We are not even allowed to change their arrangement. She said that Second Miss will be returning to live here..."

“Second Miss, Second Miss! Is all you see just the Second Miss Don’t forget, I am the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family!” Xiao Yufu didn't want to hear from Xiao Yuge now more than ever. She couldn't believe that even after Xiao Yuge had left, her mother was still so attentive. She was enraged and slapped one of the maids in retaliation.

"Miss, please calm down!" The two maidservants didn't know what they had done to upset their mistress today.

"Kneel here for two hours!" As Xiao Yufu left, she kicked over two flowerpots before striding away.

Unbeknownst to them, all of this was witnessed clearly by Lady Xiao, who happened to be in her own room. She never expected that her own daughter, who usually appeared so gentle and kind, would be so vicious behind the scenes. This only made her miss Xiao Yuge even more.

"Madam..." Little Tao, seeing the madam so heartbroken, was naturally anxious.

"Xiao Tao ah, how could my biological daughter be Fu'er How could this be" Madam Xiao couldn't accept this fact until now. In her subconscious, she still hoped that Ge'er was her biological daughter.

"Madam, the county princess is not usually like this..." Little Peach also wanted to say something good for Xiao Yufu.

"She's not usually like this, that is to say, she's always putting on a show. Even her kindness is an act. This is my own daughter," Lady Xiao felt utterly disappointed.

"My lady..."

"Little Tao, everything in Second Miss's room is untouched. Remember to have someone come in every day to clean it thoroughly, just like when Second Miss lived here."

"Yes, madam."

"What's that" Mrs. Xiao asked, noticing something on the table beside her.

"Madam, this is what the second miss entrusted to me before she left. She said that as autumn arrives and it gets colder, your hands and feet are prone to feeling cold. Holding a hot water bottle isn't very convenient, so the second miss specially made this hand warmer for you. It's filled with medicinal herbs. She said that by holding it, Madam can ward off chills and feel warm." Xiaotao took the hand warmer.

"My dear child," Mrs. Xiao gently caressed her warm hand warmer, tears streaming down her face as she recalled the words Xiao Yuge had spoken on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony. She was filled with remorse: "How could I be so foolish That poor child probably knew the truth all along, which is why she bid me farewell that day. Why didn't I see it My beloved Yuge..."

"My lady, you must take care of your health. The second miss would be very saddened if she knew you were so heartbroken."

"This silly child, doesn't trust me, came back to see me early in the morning, didn't even have a bite to eat..." Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Yu Fu like this now, her heart missed Xiao Yu Ge even more.

"My lady, Second Miss might be considering the Princess's feelings and that's why she hasn't returned. Perhaps after some time, when the Princess marries the Crown Prince and moves into the East Palace, Second Miss will then be willing to come back."

"Well. You are right, my song will return." Lady Xiao then stopped her tears.

The Ruyi Pavilion.

"Miss, the Crown Prince has arrived."

Xiao Yuge was practicing swordplay in the courtyard, when Qing Luo ran over breathlessly to report.

"No!" Xiao Yu replied without raising her head.

"But, Miss, the Crown Prince said that if you don't go see him, he will..."

"What's he going to do What else can he do" Xiao Yuge immediately got angry when she heard this, and forcefully threw the long sword in her hand aside.

"The Crown Prince said that if you don't go out, he will order the demolition of Ruyi Pavilion!" Qing Luo was also afraid that the master would accidentally anger the Crown Prince again, then it would be a big trouble.

"Damn it!" Xiao Yuge gritted her teeth in anger, storming out. If not for the sake of these sisters at Ruyifang, she wouldn't be afraid of that scumbag at all.

"Song!"

As expected, the moment Ge'er appeared, Qian Si Chen, who was throwing a tantrum just moments before, immediately calmed down.

"Your Highness, I heard you're going to tear down my sister's Ruyi Pavilion" Xiao Yuge saw him and felt like he had a face full of arrogance.

"Nothing happened, Ge'er, come with me!" Qian Sichin unceremoniously pulled her along and walked out. He looked haggard, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"Let me go!" Xiao Yuge struggled to break free, but she couldn't.

"Ger!" Finding themselves alone, Qian Si Chen pulled Xiao Yu Ge into his arms, burying his face deep into her neck. The familiar scent intoxicated him.

"Your Highness, we are no longer together. Please respect yourself!" Xiao Yuge pushed him away with a blank face, but he was holding her too tightly, she couldn't push him off.

"Ge'er, I really miss you so much!" Qian Sichin's hoarse voice trembled slightly. He knelt outside his father's bedroom all night, begging for a change of heart, but the emperor refused. He was truly terrified of losing her like this.

"Let me go!" Xiao Yuge secretly frowned. Was this guy crazy

"Don't leave!" Qian Sicheng stubbornly held her in his embrace. Just thinking about her leaving him made him want to melt her into his own body, so she would never be separated from him again.

"Qian Si Chen, what are you trying to do We're already divorced, we have no relationship anymore, let go of me!"

“Ge’er, my heart is drawn to you! I cannot imagine life without you; what would I do Ge’er, I can’t live without you. Without you, I would go mad!” A low voice, filled with a thousand unspoken sorrows, echoed in her ear. He was infatuated with everything about her, unable to extricate himself.ce turned pale and even her voice trembled with fear.The huge snake opened its wide mouth, and its bright red tongue licked towards her. Startled, she went limp in her legs and fell to the ground, try...
