After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

When Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi arrived at Buzhuang, they saw a circle of guards outside Buzhuang from a distance, blocking the curious and prying people.

Seeing them coming, the guards gave way.

As soon as she entered Buzhuang, Chu Huanyan was the first to notice the woman sitting in the shop.

The bright red peony floor-length skirt, with the gold embroidery threads shining, looks very luxurious.

Dan Kou fiddled with the ring on her hand, and when she saw Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi coming in, she just raised her eyes casually and contemptuously. However, although the makeup is exquisite, you can still see the traces of time on her face.

When she saw Huanyan's face clearly, Princess Rongchang raised her eyebrows slightly, and then her face returned to a cold expression.

"Prince, it's been a long time no see."

"It's been a long time indeed. My aunt is doing well lately." Xiao Jinzhi's tone was smiling, sounding like a normal chatter.

But the atmosphere inside the shop was visibly tense.

"Okay, this princess is naturally very nice. Liyang has beautiful mountains, clear waters, and outstanding people. I am very comfortable here." Rongchang said leisurely, and his tone did not sound like a lie.

"That's good." Xiao Jinzhi glanced at Chu Huanyan and continued, "Let me introduce you to my aunt. This is Chu Huanyan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion and Gu's fiancée."

"I've met Princess Rongchang." Chu Huanyan said while saluting.

"This princess has heard about it." Princess Rongchang's eyes fell on Chu Huanyan again, with waves floating in her eyes, flashing a faint coldness, "Miss Chu's reputation is very great, although this princess I’m not in the Imperial City, but I’ve heard a lot about your deeds.”

She met Princess Rongchang’s unkind gaze. Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows slightly.

The other party's tone seemed to be particularly dissatisfied with her. Is it just because of this dress?

As soon as this idea came up, it was almost instantly rejected by Chu Huanyan. No, if it was just for such a place, there should be no need for the person in front of me to go to such trouble, or even appear here immediately after returning to the imperial city.

But today was the first time she and Princess Rongchang had met. Apart from that, she really couldn't think of any other reasons that might offend her.

After thinking about it, Chu Huanyan just lowered her eyes and said, "Princess Rongchang is a compliment."

"Huh." Rongchang snorted coldly and glanced at the person behind him, "Since we are old friends, you should also say hello."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was immediately directed to the man standing behind Princess Rongchang.

The other person was standing there with a curtain hat on his head. Although he looked a little strange, considering that Princess Rongchang liked to have a beautiful face, it was not difficult to guess his identity.

So although everyone noticed the man just now, they didn't think much about it or pay too much attention to him.

Now that they heard this, everyone looked at each other curiously.

The man was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and took off the curtain hat on his head.

Seeing that familiar face, Chu Huanyan couldn't help but be stunned.

Lin Zeyuan!

It turned out to be Lin Zeyuan. I didn't expect that he was not dead yet.

And look at this posture, is she relying on Princess Rongchang as a backer?

"Miss Chu, it's been a long time." Lin Zeyuan stared at Chu Huanyan like a poisonous snake, with a sneer on his lips.

"It's been a long time indeed. I didn't expect you to be alive." Chu Huanyan regained her composure and spoke.

Lin Zeyuan chuckled, "You must be disappointed to see that I am still alive."

At first, he was chased by money lenders and almost lost his life. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to escape the disaster and was saved by others.

At that time, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to return to the imperial city. If he was discovered, his life would be at risk.

Along the way, he almost lived by begging. Later, when he arrived in Liyang, he heard by chance that Princess Rongchang liked to take her noodle pets to the opera. God knows how much effort he had to put in to appear in front of Rongchang and win her favor.

And he has suffered so much that he is now in the position where he is the man's favorite, all thanks to Chu Huanyan!

Feeling Lin Zeyuan's hateful gaze, Chu Huanyan gently curled her lips.

"Young Master Lin is joking. The engagement between you and me has been terminated a long time ago. We no longer have anything to do with each other. Whether you are alive or dead has nothing to do with me."

"Stop pretending here, I'm afraid in your heart you want me to die!"

Lin Zeyuan's tone was sarcastic. After speaking, he felt Princess Rongchang's gaze looking over at her from the corner of his eye again. He secretly gritted his teeth, and then showed a look of bitterness and pain.

"The marriage contract between you and me was originally ordered by our parents. I have never meant anything to you. I just thought that you are an orphan, so I have a little more sympathy in my heart. Even if you want to break off the engagement and just say so, why bother? Such calculations and designs will insult my reputation and ruin my future."

As he said that, Lin Zeyuan looked at Rongchang, his eyes suddenly filled with tenderness.

"If I hadn't met the princess, I would have been desperate. Fortunately, the princess is kind-hearted and kind. Otherwise... I'm afraid I would never be able to set foot in the imperial city again in this life."

These words obviously pleased Princess Rongchang. She curled her lips and spoke in a comforting tone.

"Don't worry, with this princess here, I will never let you be wronged again."

"Thank you princess." Lin Zeyuan smiled more tenderly.

Seeing this look made Chu Huanyan feel sick.

Long time no see, I have to say that Lin Zeyuan has made great progress in pretending to be affectionate and deceiving others.

Not only did he hook up with Princess Rongchang, but looking at this attitude, he also convinced the other party to cause trouble for him.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at this situation and laughed out loud as if he couldn't help it, "Interesting."

Princess Rongchang and Lin Zeyuan both looked at Xiao Jinzhi. The difference was that Princess Rongchang just frowned, while Lin Zeyuan looked expressionless on her face, but there was hatred in her heart.

Damn it, he had already figured it out a long time ago. The reason why he fell into that situation must be due to the handiwork of the Crown Prince in front of him.

That bitch Chu Huanyan must have hooked up with Xiao Jinzhi a long time ago and teamed up with him to scheme against her!

"Prince, where is the fun?" Rongchang asked coldly.

"I haven't seen someone with such superb acting skills for a long time, so naturally I find it interesting." Xiao Jinzhi walked up to Chu Huanyan and held her hand, "Back then, the disgusting things Mr. Lin did were all over the imperial city. As we all know, the result has suddenly changed, and it seems that you have become the person who is full of grievances. Do you think that everyone's memory is so short?"

"Lin thought he had a clear conscience about what happened back then. If he was tricked by you, he would be in a trap and his reputation would be ruined. What's more, I had already explained all the things to the princess. If His Highness the Crown Prince wants to create a estrangement here, it's better not to do so. It's all a waste of time." Lin Zeyuan snorted coldly.

If he hadn't been confident enough now, he wouldn't have encouraged this old woman to return to the imperial city. When he comes back this time, he will definitely not let Chu Huanyan have an easy time!
