However, she didnt bother to say anything to him. Instead, she took out some mushrooms and cabbage from the kitchen and made a stir-fried mushroom with meat slices, pickled cabbages, and finally, a plate of shredded seaweed.

When the cooking was almost done, Gu Chengrui rushed back. He smelled a familiar smell and remembered Yang Wanning and the others were coming over today.

After he went to the kitchen to greet Yang Wanning, he turned around to return to the dining room.

Is King Rui back yet? Zhou Ying asked hurriedly.

Yeah, we came back together. Gu Chengrui replied and paused, 111 ask him to come over and eat with us.

No, its not convenient with Wanning here. Just bring some fishball soup over to him. After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she took a bowl of soup and handed it to him.

Thats true. 111 be back soon. Gu Chengrui took the soup bowl and headed toward the main courtyard.

At this moment, Yang Chenglin ran out and chased after him. Youre my third cousin, right? Ill go with you.

Yang Chenglin? Gu Chengrui looked at the young man beside him and asked.

Yes, Ill go with you; I havent met King Rui yet. Yang Chenglin said expectantly.

Hurry up, then. The soup will get cold soon. After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he walked straight ahead.

Meanwhile, Yang Chenglin jogged behind him.

However, when they reached the main courtyard, Yang Chenglin shrank back and hesitated at the entrance.

Gu Chengrui didnt force him, and he sent the soup in. When he came out, he looked at him and asked, Didnt you want to see the Third Prince? Why dont you go in?

The people around him are very fierce. After Yang Chenglin said that, he glanced at the guards guarding the place.

What are you afraid of? Those people are protecting him. As long as you behave yourself, no one will make things difficult for you. Gu Chengrui thought of something and asked, Your fathers study room should also be guarded, no?

I havent been to my fathers study.

You havent been there?

Thats right. No one in the family is allowed to approach my fathers study.

Your mother hasnt been there either?

I heard she has been there, but I dont remember.

Does your father treat you well?

So-so? Hes busy all day long. Other than asking about homework, we rarely meet and talk.

Who usually takes care of you, then?

Previously, it was my mother. Now, its my stepmother and my sister.

Stepmother? Is she good to you?

Im the familys legitimate son, and my mothers dowry is in her hands.

Even if I bullied Chengsen, she never dared to complain.

Gu Chengrui narrowed his eyes and said, Your stepmother sure treats you well.

Of course, Ive never been scolded before.

In the summer, 1 asked for a parrot and spent a hundred taels on it. She paid for it, no matter how painful it was for her wallet.

After that, Chengsen wanted to spend ten taels on a carrier pigeon, but he was turned down. Its because she lacks a dowry and the confidence to spend money.

Who told you that shes not confident because she doesnt have a dowry?

My stepmother said so. My grandmother also said that when she married into the family, she only brought a few pieces of clothing with her; she didnt even have any jewelry.

Is that so? But thats not what your sister said. She didnt even have a decent dress when she attended the palace banquet a few days ago, and many others laughed at her.

How is that possible? Chengsen said my sister was wearing a custom-made dress that cost more than a thousand taels.

I asked someone to order those clothes.

Impossible. Yang Chenglin looked at him warily and angrily, saying, The Gu familys a.s.sets have been confiscated.

Youd better not sow discord between us..
