Situ Xun felt that it was strange, why did he feel that Gu Shiyi was different from before?

Looking at her pair of eyes that were as bright as stars, he suddenly felt that he was extremely insignificant in front of her. He was wearing old clothes, but they couldn't cover up the brilliance on her body, causing Situ Xun to feel as if a piece of his heart was missing.

He was the crown prince, the future ruler of nine or five years, and everyone in the world could only prostrate themselves at his feet. In front of him, everyone was humble and insignificant, and no one could make him feel pity, let alone Gu Shiyi, whom everyone in the world disdained.

"Hmph, Gu Shiyi, at least you still know your own limits. Return to the palace!" Situ Xun's face suddenly turned vicious, he angrily brought his followers and quickly left the Prime Minister's Residence.

"I say, Gu Shiyi, it's fine if you don't care about your face, but why drag me down?" Just as Situ Xun left, Gu Moyun suddenly rushed out from the crowd in front of Gu Shiyi. A pair of eyes glared at her, as if she wanted to eat her up.

If the news of Gu Shiyi being annulled by the royal family were to spread, then as both daughters of the Prime Minister, their marriage would also be affected.

As an unfavoured daughter of the Prime Minister, Gu Moyun had the chance to marry into a fifth-grade official family.

However, if she went through more trouble with Gu Shiyi, she would become her wife and wouldn't be so picky.

It could be said that Gu Moyun's future had been indirectly destroyed by him!

But was that really the case?

If Gu Moyun did not have any thoughts that she shouldn't have, she would probably be the future daughter-in-law of the Censor's Master Zhao right now, and the Zhao Family would definitely not implicate Gu Moyun because of this matter.

However, during the Lotus Festival three months ago, Gu Moyun and their big sister Gu Moxue were simultaneously attracted by the crown prince's charm, and because of the engagement between Gu Shiyi and the crown prince, their minds started to fill with life. Gu Moyun had even personally scolded the matchmaker of the Zhao Family who came to propose marriage, resulting in the relationship between the Gu Family and the Zhao Family to be completely broken off.

Now, forget about the crown prince, even normal people would not allow Gu Moyun to enter, so, how could she not be angry?

Towards Gu Moyun, Gu Shiyi didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy.

"Fourth sister, you are mistaken about this older sister. If it wasn't for older sister's withdrawal, you would have had a chance to become the crown prince's consort!" Gu Shiyi was calm. The more they wanted something to happen, the more hope she gave them. Only when that hope shattered would it hurt even more.

Gu Moyun's eyes that were originally as grey as ash, lit up the moment Gu Shiyi finished speaking. Why was she not paying attention to those officials, and how could she not see the gigantic Buddha sitting on top of them?

No matter if it was her dancing skills or her zither skills, they were both the backyard of the Prime Minister Manor. Furthermore, she was the person with the most outstanding Great Xia Kingdom.

And the most important factor in the Crown Princess's selection was her talent, followed by her family's identity. It was no wonder that Gu Shiyi would have her marriage annulment annulled.

Thinking about it, Gu Moyun suddenly felt that the reason she had stood up and said all these, was actually to give her father a bad impression.

"Third sister, Fourth sister is being reckless. Please don't take offense!" Gu Moyun turned her face and smiled, she had the demeanor of a lady from a noble family, his change in attitude was so fast that it left people speechless.

"How could that be? My Great Xia Kingdom is known by everyone, if we were to talk about the position of the Crown Prince's consort, if Fourth Sister doesn't compete, wouldn't it be a pity?!" Gu Shiyi's voice was filled with enticement, it attracted even more of Gu Moyun's attention, but Sun Rumei, who was standing at the side, almost shattered her silver teeth.

Under Gu Shiyi's guidance, those who were originally immersed in being affected by Gu Shiyi's matter would also be brought to the position of Crown Prince's consort.

"Hmph, what are you guys doing here? Why aren't you dispersing!" Gu Minghong snorted coldly as he looked at everyone present, causing them to be unable to guess what he was thinking.

"Scoundrel, you stay!" Just as Gu Shiyi was preparing to leave with the group, she suddenly heard Gu Minghong's cold voice once again. But what exactly did she do? She could bear the burden of this evil creature.

Everyone looked at Gu Shiyi with a look of schadenfreude on their faces, before continuing their journey.

Gu Shiyi's footsteps did not stop as she continued to follow the crowd into the inner courtyard.

"Bring her to me!" Gu Minghong's voice carried a great anger, as he ordered Gao Fei who was beside him.

Gu Shiyi suddenly felt a murderous intent behind her, it made her want to dodge instinctively, but her body was just too weak and stiff. She had barely turned her head, when she was grabbed, and was dragged towards the main hall.

Gu Shiyi shot a glance at the man who attacked her. She was around twenty years old, had a delicate and pretty appearance, and a frosty temperament.

Gu Shiyi rolled her eyes. This kind of Gao Fei must have some interesting stories on him, but she didn't mind spending some time to dig it out.

Thinking about that, Gu Shiyi did not resist anymore, and kept on walking.

Gao Fei frowned, a look of astonishment in his eyes as he turned around. Why does he feel that Gu Shiyi is different from before?

"Kneel!" The moment Gu Shiyi entered the main hall, Gu Minghong shouted at her once again.

Gu Shiyi didn't say much and just kneeled in front of Gu Minghong with a 'plop'. She looked straight at his father, who had never even taken her as his daughter.

Only, for some reason, Gu Minghong did not say a word for a long time. The father and daughter pair stared at each other and stayed silent.

Gu Minghong stared at Gu Shiyi with unfocused eyes, they were filled with boundless tenderness, causing Gu Shiyi to feel very uncomfortable. She felt that Gu Minghong was looking at her, but not at her.

Just how long was this cheap father prepared to see her kneel for?

"Father?" Gu Shiyi probed. Her body was very weak, but she could not afford to kneel for that long.

"Waner!" Gu Minghong muttered and recovered from his stupor. His eyes gradually became cold, and looking at Gu Shiyi's miserable state, he finally did not say anything. The whole bunch of words he was prepared to scold Gu Shiyi were left unsaid.

"You may leave!" It was as if Gu Minghong had suddenly aged by ten years. Waving his hands at Gu Shiyi, he turned and walked into the room, leaving Gu Shiyi with a lonely view of his back.

Gu Shiyi stood up, and stood in place while looking at Gu Minghong's somewhat pitiful back view. She hadn't misheard earlier, as Gu Minghong looked at her and called out Waner, and from the looks of it, Gu Minghong must have seen the shadow of her mother Ning Waner from her body earlier. This indirectly meant that she looked very similar to Ning Waner, but Gu Minghong's feelings toward him didn't seem to have diminished in the slightest.

The corner of Gu Shiyi's mouth raised slightly. She had never been someone who resigned herself to fate.
