The secret guard had come to Xie Jingrui's side without knowing when. He looked at Liu Yueru walking away with a worried look on his face, and whispered in Xie Jingrui's ear: "Prince, are you going too far?"

Xie Jingrui had a dark face. He turned around and looked at the secret guard behind him. He squeezed out a word coldly from his thin lips: "Get lost!"

"Yes." The secret guard agreed and left Prince Jin's Mansion as if fleeing.

The news that Xie Jingrui was going to marry a new princess soon spread throughout Kyoto.

In order to get Hua Ge'er to accept Gu Yuwei as soon as possible, the people from the Duke's Mansion brought Gu Yuwei to the Prince of Jin's Mansion the next day.

Xie Jingrui narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened to the butler's report.

To be able to spread the news that he was going to marry a new princess in such a short time, there must be someone secretly fanning the flames.

Lord Bo has always been on the neutral side from the beginning, and Xie Jingrui also wanted to take this opportunity to test it out.

Seeing that Xie Jingrui remained silent for a long time, the butler asked in a low voice: "My Lord, do you want me to find a reason to send them back first?"

"No need, prepare the carriage and take Hua Ge'er with you." Xie Jingrui instructed.

The housekeeper was stunned and looked at Xie Jingrui strangely.

Xie Jingrui met the butler's gaze and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"It's okay. I'll go and give the order right away." After the butler said this, he turned and left.

Xie Jingrui took advantage of the opportunity to raise his hand and call the secret guard in: "Has the person Miss Liu mentioned appeared near the city gate?"

"Reporting to the prince, we have searched all the people who came and went, and no one with such physical signs appeared. Do you want me to post the portrait of that person?"

Xie Jingrui looked at the scroll in his hand and said solemnly, "No, you guys keep paying attention, and also pay attention to those places far from the city gate."

There was just a green light in front of him, flickering in front of Xie Jingrui's eyes.

He raised his head with slightly furrowed brows, and saw that the secret guard was wearing a green silk dress and had makeup all over her body like a woman, so charming!

Xie Jingrui's pupils suddenly tightened, and the disgust on his face was not concealed: "Who asked you to dress like this?"

The secret guard fiddled with her skirt and said with some embarrassment, "Your Highness, all the small vendors, teahouse servants, and brothel madams have been taken by other brothers. They said I was born beautiful and asked me to dress up as a prostitute. It is more convenient to get information in a place of fireworks, so I dressed like this."

After the secret guard finished speaking, he did not forget to glance at Xie Jingrui and asked with a raised eyebrow: "My Lord, do you think my subordinate's outfit looks like the real one?"

Xie Jingrui raised his hands to cover his eyes, and his forehead suddenly throbbed with pain: "Go away, and never appear in front of me with this makeup again in the future!"

Xie Jingrui rubbed his eyebrows, then stood up and walked towards the front hall.

On the way, Xie Wenhua saw Xie Jingrui and ran up to him, clenched his fists, and looked at Xie Jingrui with anger in his eyes.

"You scum, if you dare to marry another woman, I will run away with someone else and never want my father again!" After Xie Wenhua finished speaking, his pair of bright black eyes turned red in an instant.

His eyes were filled with helplessness, disappointment, displeasure, and sadness.

Xie Jingrui paused, squatted down, hugged Hua Ge'er in his arms, and whispered in Xie Wenhua's ear: "Let's take Miss Gu out for a day. If Hua Ge'er really doesn't like her, father will postpone this marriage, okay?"

Xie Wenhua was about to burst into tears, but he forced them back and raised his little finger to Xie Jingrui: "Let's make a pinky promise. Father, don't coax me."

Xie Jingrui looked at Xie Wenhua's restored black eyes, and then he felt relieved. He followed Xie Wenhua's wishes and made a pinky promise with himself.

After coaxing Xie Wenhua, Xie Jingrui took Xie Wenhua's hand and walked to the front hall.

At this time, the old man had already excused himself and left Gu Yuwei behind, saying that he had something to do.

In the front hall, Gu Yuwei heard the noise and immediately stood up nervously and looked in the direction of Xie Jingrui.

Xie Jingrui was wearing a black robe with dark patterns today. He had a tall and well-proportioned figure and exuded a noble air. He was holding the hand of Xie Wenhua by his side.

Xie Wenhua had a fair and round face and a pair of bright black eyes. At this moment, he was looking at Gu Yuwei with a vigilant expression, looking very lovable.

Gu Yuwei was wearing a pastel-colored lotus dress with her hair simply tied up. She was gentle and charming, and her behavior was graceful and elegant.

At this moment, Gu Yuwei came not far from Xie Jingrui and bowed slightly to him in greeting.

Xie Jingrui's expression was very calm; "Get up."

Then he took Xie Wenhua's hand and walked out together.

Gu Yuwei had heard a lot about Xie Jingrui since she was a child. She was attracted to the man in front of her. Just now, she only glanced at Xie Jingrui and her heart was beating wildly.

Looking at Xie Jingrui's distant and indifferent look, he was not annoyed, but quickly followed the two of them.

Gu Yuwei stared at the two people walking in front, one big and one small. The man had a cold and noble temperament, while the child had a round, soft and cute little face, and would look in Gu Yuwei's direction from time to time.

His dark eyes rolled around, and I don't know what he was thinking.

Seeing him like this, Gu Yuwei couldn't help but laugh and waved gently to Xie Wenhua to say hello.

Seeing this, Xie Wenhua's fair and tender face instantly darkened and he looked away with displeasure.

Several people came to the carriage. Xie Wenhua saw only one carriage in front of him. He was originally unhappy, but now his face became even more tense.

He also heard from the servants that his mother wanted to wish his father a happy wedding, and he felt that Liu Yueru didn't want his father or him anymore.

Xie Wenhua just felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing that Xie Wenhua’s beautiful eyes were red, Gu Yuwei took the opportunity to get closer to Xie Wenhua.

He went forward and took Xie Wenhua's hand, squatted down, and asked Xie Wenhua: "Hua'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xie Wenhua's eyes were red as he looked at the gentle Gu Yuwei in front of him, and he missed Liu Yueru more and more.

Gu Yuwei took the opportunity to hug Xie Wenhua.

Xie Wenhua shouted coldly at Gu Yuwei: "Don't touch me!"

Gu Yuwei's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and she looked in the direction of Xie Jingrui with a somewhat aggrieved look, wanting to seek Xie Jingrui's help.

Unexpectedly, Xie Jingrui's eyes were still cold and indifferent.

Gu Yuwei thought of her family's high hopes for her. As long as she could make this little devil in front of her like her, she could become Xie Jingrui's princess.

Think about this.

Gu Yuwei gritted her teeth and continued to coax, "Hua'er, don't cry. Auntie will take you to buy good food."

As she spoke, she pretended to be very familiar with Xie Wenhua and wanted to raise her hand to touch Xie Wenhua's hair.

Xie Wenhua hates physical contact with strangers the most.

Just when Gu Yuwei's hand was about to touch Xie Wenhua's hair, Xie Wenhua said angrily: "I told you not to touch me, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Xie Wenhua raised his hand to push her away, but before his hand touched Gu Yuwei, he heard her scream: "Ah!" Gu Yuwei staggered and fell to the ground.

Xie Wenhua looked down at his hands in surprise. He clearly did not touch that woman!
