Xiao Chengyou's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, looking coldly, it made people shudder.

Xu Lingyi knew why.

Xiao Chengyou and Xu Baozhu had a marriage contract, although Xu Baozhu calculated it, but he and the Prime Minister's Mansion were tied to the same boat.

What's more, this time Xiao Chengyou was abolished, the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately fell into trouble, and turned to Xiao Hengyuan.

Xu Lingyi even suspected that her father was probably on Xiao Hengyuan's side in the first place.

It's just that she supported Xiao Chengyou on the surface, but stabbed him severely in the back.

If not, how could someone like Xiao Hengyuan, who is obsessed with profit and power, fall in love with Xu Baozhu so easily and want to marry her.

Before she came, she also knew that the Xu Mansion, including her, should be considered to be on the opposite side of Xiao Chengyou.

He might be suspecting now that she stayed for some other purpose.

"Xu Xiang is quite willing. He only has three children, but now he is willing to use one daughter to make useless chess?"

After all, Xiao Chengyou was in good health. After sleeping, he looked much better.

At this moment, those cold eyes were staring at her coldly.

After all, the person who was once a prince, even if he is deposed now, has a very scary demeanor, especially when he stares at her with a gloomy expression.

Xu Lingyi admitted that she had goosebumps all over her body.

"What did Xu Xiang order you to monitor Gu? Every word and deed, every action."

There was a sneer on the corner of Xiao Chengyou's lips, "Gu is a useless person now, and there will never be a day of recovery, they still can't rest assured?"

Xu Lingyi lowered her eyes and shook her head lightly, "Whether you believe it or not, Your Highness, this lady does not have ulterior motives, let alone come to spy on you."

Xu Lingyi heard a cold sneer, and knew that the abolished prince didn't believe it at all.

Xu Lingyi continued: "I have no choice but to abolish the prince's mansion. My daughter originally had a marriage contract with His Highness the Third Prince, but my daughter's younger sister wanted to be the third prince's official wife, so my daughter had no choice but to abdicate."

"Besides, the appearance of the courtier...Your Highness, you have also seen that the third prince dislikes the courtier, and the courtier was pointed out to you. It may be that he intends to use the courtier to humiliate you."

After Xu Lingyi finished speaking, Xiao Chengyou did not speak, and even the expression on his face did not fluctuate.

Xu Lingyi couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.

But the next second Xiao Chengyou spoke, his eyebrows seemed to stretch a little, "Then it seems that I misunderstood you."

He was talking about a misunderstanding, but the tone of his words seemed to be cold.

Xu Lingyi understood that he didn't believe it at all.

Maybe he still thought in his heart that this was a new trick to deceive him into trusting him.

Xu Lingyi also understands, because Xu's father and son are weak, and there are still only three children at this age.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a modest gentleman. Even if he demoted his wife to be a concubine, he still tried his best to make up for his original wife and daughter.

They all thought she was doing well with her mother.

But he didn't know that her father was a complete hypocrite.

Xu Lingyi sighed, "I know you don't believe me, but I really have no other purpose in coming here, and it's just to save my life. This is the truth."

"If my daughter disobeys, my siblings may be able to skin me, and the family will treat me as an outcast, so it's even more impossible for my daughter to be so stupid as to do things for the family."

Xiao Chengyou sneered in his heart, but remained calm on his face.

Xu Lingyi lowered her eyes, she was already mentally prepared, and naturally knew that it was impossible for the abolished prince to trust her just by relying on these few words.

If he was so naive, she would have to worry about whether he could really become emperor in the future?

"The courtier knows that His Highness doesn't believe it, and the courtier will prove it to you in the future, and will take good care of you."

After she finished expressing her loyalty, Xiao Chengyou still didn't respond, but asked her another question instead.

"Don't you want to go out? Are you willing to be trapped here for the rest of your life?"

This question seems to be asking her, and perhaps it is also a bit like asking himself again.

"The courtier wants to go out but doesn't want to go out."

"Why?"

"Actually, it is extremely difficult for a woman to survive in the backyard. Going out means countless disputes, and it means that she must always compete with others for winning or losing. There are countless intrigues and scheming."

"The courtiers are a little tired of such days, and now living alone here may not be a kind of tranquility."

After she finished speaking, she looked at him secretly, not only explaining, but also seemed to want to comfort him.
