sts when she saw Xiao Yuge. Her face immediately lit up: "Floor..." But when she saw Xu Loulan, she stopped abruptly.Xiao Yu sang warmly greeted, "Head Abbot, your business is booming, long time no se..."How is this possible" cried the lady, her voice filled with worry. "What about that young master Has he returned"

"The young master was taken away by the prince's people."

"What are we going to do now" Hearing the increasing roars coming from inside, Madam's heart was pounding in her chest. She knew this time Fu'er had gotten into serious trouble, but she didn't know how to stop the Master.

Inside the house.

"You ungrateful daughter, for the sake of wealth and honor, you're even willing to disown your own biological parents" How could Xiao Zhan have imagined that his own daughter would recognize someone else as her father How could he not be furious

"Father, that's just the truth!" Xiao Yufu seemed fearless. She knew that with her current status, even her own father wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

"Something that refuses to repent!" Xiao Zhan grabbed her hand and forcefully pulled off the bandage she had wrapped around it. Obviously, at the Prince's Mansion, he had seen more than just Xiao Yuge; he had seen her too.

But to his astonishment, there was indeed a cut on Xiao Yufu's palm!

"How is that possible!" He couldn't believe any of this was true, because he had clearly seen...

"Father, why do you believe everything Xiao Yuge says You don't believe anything I say. I'm telling you, she forced Lan Auntie to lie! She did it because she already knew this jade pendant was a relic of the Tianzhu Holy Maiden, so she planned all of this in advance!"

"But clearly, when we recognized each other through blood back then, our blood merged!" Xiao Zhan still couldn't believe it.

"Father, those two bowls of water were tampered with by Xiao Yuge secretly. She is skilled in pharmacology and added alum or warm water to our bowl. Therefore, regardless of whether we have a blood relationship, the blood could blend! As for her bowl of blood, it was also tampered with, so she deceived everyone. Yuge secretly hooked up with the King, and since she disliked Brother Sicheng, she came up with this trick to achieve the purpose of breaking off the engagement with him!"

Xiao Yufu's explanation sounded reasonable, making Xiao Zhan have to wonder how he hadn't considered that the seemingly kind and upright Ge'er would do such an outrageous thing.

Seeing that Xiao Zhan still seemed skeptical, Xiao Yufu continued, "Father, do you know why we were kidnapped to Yu Longzhai last time It was because of Xiao Yuge, she wanted to poison Gui'er, so, Hua Yiyi got angry and..."

"What did you say" Before Xiao Yufu could finish speaking, Xiao Zhan's heart was in turmoil: "Poisoning Guier" He had been too busy with matters in the court recently, so he hadn't gone to Meihua Mountain Villa to see his son. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened. His son was his life; whoever dared to touch his son, he would not let them off!

"Father, I told you but you didn't believe me. You can ask Aunt Hua. The day after we went to Plum Blossom Three Pavilions, Guier was poisoned and fell into a coma. Aunt Hua hired countless doctors, but none were effective. Because I know it was Ge'er who did it. She didn't want Father to have another son to compete with her for everything in the Xiangfu, so she became murderous. It was me who persuaded her, and she finally agreed to save Guier. But Aunt Hua was furious because of this, which is why the people from Yu Long Village kidnapped us."

"Is everything you said true" Xiao Zhan's face was ashen, his anger indescribable. He had gotten his son in old age, and how much he loved that son was beyond words. If it were truly Ge'er who wanted to harm his son, then don't blame him for forgetting their father-son bond.

"Father, if you don't believe me, you can go ask anyone at Meihuayuan! They all know!" Xiao Yufu saw the anger on her father's face, and the corner of her lips unconsciously curled up with a hint of smugness: most of the people in Meihuayuan had been bought by her. Father went to ask, the answers he received would naturally be the same. This time, she wanted to see how Xiao Yuge was going to explain.

Xiao Zhan had lost interest in examining her any further. His mind was preoccupied with his son, so he immediately opened the door and rushed out!

"Master!" The mistress, who had been anxiously waiting in the courtyard, rushed to meet him as soon as she saw him come out.

Xiao Zhan let out a cold snort, ignoring her completely and walking straight out. He was going to rush to Meihua Mountain Villa overnight to see if his son was safe and sound.

While Xiaoyufeng watched Xiaozhan's hurried back disappear, a bittersweet sadness filled her heart. Yet, the smile on her lips grew wider. She hated Xiaoyu Ge, hated how she stole her life for over a decade, forcing her to live cautiously, full of self-doubt. Now, she would use the same method to take Xiaoyu Ge's identity, making her taste what it's like to have one's own life stolen away.

As she saw it, for Xiao Yu Ge, the title of "Windless Quiet Daughter" was a shackle binding her. She didn't want it at all. Without this identity, she would live freer. So, whoever wanted to be this holy maiden, let them have it! She couldn't care less!

The next morning.

Xiao Yuge just returned to Mingzhu Mansion after washing up when a servant reported, “Lady Jun, the Prince Regent requests an audience!”

Xiao Yu ge hesitated for a moment before saying, “Please bring him to the side courtyard.” After all, he was family. She might not acknowledge him, but she wouldn't be disrespectful.

"Yes!"

When Xiao Yuge arrived at the side courtyard, she happened to see Feng Wuji admiring the painting she had left on the table. His tall figure made her a little dazed. If he wasn't the Regent King, just an ordinary person, they could recognize each other. It would be so good.

"Xiao Yu Ge has met Your Highness! Please forgive me for keeping you waiting!" After a moment's hesitation, she gracefully stepped forward and bowed.

"No need for formalities." Feng Wuji waved his hand, indicating she could disregard etiquette, and pointed to the painting on the table, asking, "Is this yours"

Xiao Yu Ge nodded slightly: "It was just to pass the time when I was bored. My painting skills are clumsy and not worthy of praise. Please forgive me, Your Highness." She said this while gesturing to Qing Luo beside her to quickly take the painting away.

"Not so, Your Highness. This King actually finds the style quite interesting." Feng Wuji rarely spoke so gently.

Xiao Yu Ge just gave a faint smile and didn't continue the conversation. Instead, she asked someone beside her to serve tea, then signaled for everyone to leave. There were some things she didn't want others to know about.

"I wonder, Lord Wang, what brings you to my Mingzhu Mansion today" It was strange. At this time, shouldn't he be with his newly reunited daughter, Xiao Yufu, sharing tales of their separation What could possibly bring him here

Feng stood motionless, gazing at her. This lowered head of hers truly resembled Ice'er, but it was a pity...

"Ge'er, can I call you that" His tone wasn't like the aloof Regent King at all, but more like a loving father.

"Just a title, Your Highness. It doesn't matter what you call him." Xiao Yuge lowered her eyes slightly.n't he be allowed to ask for some reward Until she couldn't breathe, he reluctantly left her lips and bit lightly on her white neck in a way that seemed to suppress the turmoil in his heart. 。"You're...
