[It works.] The system exclaimed: [Host, do you want to be like Jiuli and let the Heavenly Dao see the efforts of the goblins and dispel their prejudice?]

[Yes, only in this way can the baby I give birth to live more safely. ]

After careful consideration, Yun Yuan did not choose to confess to Jiuli. She didn't know how Jiuli would treat the fairy who broke into the human world. If she was forced to leave, how could she find the original owner's benefactor to repay her gratitude?

I wonder what Xiao Changan is doing now?

Xiao Chang'an, wearing an elegant blue shirt, stood at the gate of Luo Mansion, waiting for the doorman's message.

"The lady said she won't see you."

Xiao Changan was disappointed. At Loiman's coming-of-age ceremony, she fell in love with him at first sight, and so was he.

He has suffered a lot of contempt along the way. Although he has finally gotten his reward after all the hard work, the trauma he suffered in his childhood cannot be erased.

Loiman was brought up in a pampered environment and has a lively and cheerful personality, just like the sunshine that can dispel the haze in his heart.

The first time he saw her, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to take good care of her and make her happy all her life.

Xiao Changan said to the doorman, "Tell Miss Luo Er that I'm waiting for her at Fu Man Lou. Whether she comes or not, I will wait until dark."

Loiman stood quietly by the window, looking into the distance, as if he was thinking about something.

The maid beside her reported respectfully. After listening for a long time, Loiman finally spoke slowly.

"Did he really say that?"

"Yes, ma'am, that's what the concierge said."

Loiman stared out the window in a trance, recalling every detail of her past life, from the naive heartbeat when they first met, to the sweetness of the newlyweds and the final death with hatred.

She told herself that Xiao Changan was just a person who was interested in her family background.

Loiman's father was the second-rank Left Censor-in-Chief, and she had a younger sister who was a royal concubine in the court. Although she had no children, she was extremely favored by the emperor. Even though the emperor was now obsessed with newcomers, her favor remained undiminished.

As for the same generation, Loiman’s two elder brothers hold important positions in the court. Miss Luo’s husband is the legitimate son of General Pingxi. He now has a son and a daughter, and his position in the general’s mansion is irreplaceable.

It can be said that the Luo family has both power and influence.

Although the Zhaoxin Marquis Mansion where Xiao Chang'an comes from is a family of dukes, the previous two generations were neither talented in literature nor in martial arts, and had no military power at all. Now, apart from Xiao Chang'an, only the eldest son of the wife is ambitious and works under the command of General Pingxi.

When Loiman fell in love with Xiao Changan, the Luo family did not agree. Later, when they found out that Xiao Changan had a mistress, they beat him up secretly.

"Let him wait." Loiman said, "Harunoshi, go to Fumanlou and keep an eye on him. I want to see how long he can hold out."

"Yes." Harunobu took the order and went out.

Loiman warned herself not to miss Xiao Changan, but found that she couldn't concentrate no matter what she did.

As the whole day passed, his figure and smile kept lingering in her mind, as if an invisible force was pulling her.

Finally, as it grew dark, Loiman could no longer suppress his inner impulse and went against his previous resolution.

She put on a light blue dress, combed her hair, and quietly left the house.

When she arrived, it was already completely dark and there were few people on the street. She hid behind a tree opposite Fumanlou, and used the darkness and the cover of the tree trunks to secretly look for Xiao Changan.

The lights in Fumanlou were bright and bustling inside, as if they were two different worlds from the outside. Guests were toasting each other, but Xiao Changan was the only one sitting at the door, alone, staring outside with hope in his eyes.

Loiman had mixed feelings and couldn't help biting his lip.

If only he had never done anything to let her down, all the promises they made to each other would have vanished like smoke, and they would never be able to go back.

"Second Miss, would you like me to book a private room inside?"

Loiman shook his head: "No, let's go back."

She had called off the marriage with great fanfare and she had no regrets. The only thing she had done wrong was to let the woman run away and not parade her through the streets as a warning to all.

Xiao Changan did not wait for Loiman. Instead, he drank to drown his sorrows. He did not come out until Fumanlou closed and staggered towards Luoyu Hutong.

When I opened the door, it was desolate, except for a tree in full bloom.

Xiao Chang'an suddenly sobered up, patted his aching head, and did not return to Marquis Zhaoxin's mansion. He lay down on the spot alone, just like Yun Yuan had done countless times.

But there is no sunshine now.

Xiao Changan looked at the starry sky with drunken eyes, as if he had returned to the most miserable time in the Marquis' Mansion. No one cared about him, and even the breath he exhaled was cold.

After Crown Prince Xuanyuan Chengyin and Jiuli left, the Third Prince Xuanyuan Chengze sat down in front of Yun Yuan, propping up his head and looking at her.

"You said you have talent and beauty, but why don't you have a good family background?"

Yun Yuan continued playing the piano and answered casually.

"How can I have all the good things in the world? People of all backgrounds will have troubles. I am fine the way I am now."

"That's right." Xuanyuan Chengze nodded thoughtfully. Thinking that he couldn't even decide on his marriage, a hint of helplessness and bitterness flashed in his eyes.

As a member of the royal family, he shoulders the honor and responsibility of his family and must make choices that are consistent with his status.

He sighed: "Being born into a royal family is not always a good thing. I really envy ordinary people like you who don't have so many rules and constraints and live freely."

Yun Yuan looked at him strangely: "Third Prince, do you think I am free now?"

"Why not..." Xuanyuan Chengze thought of Yun Yuan being trapped in the mansion by him and playing the piano for him to relieve his boredom, so he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and said, "At least no one will interfere with your marriage."

"It's my parents' orders and my matchmaker's words. That's because my parents are not around. Compared to you, ordinary people have more restrictions on their identities and status. How can they be free?"

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Yun Yuan placed his hands on the strings.

"For example, I was born in a humble family. In the future, I can only marry a peddler or a commoner, except to be a concubine of a rich family. Do you think such marriage is free?"

Xuanyuan Chengze opened his mouth and said, "I won't let you be my concubine."

What's the difference between what you said... and confession?

Yun Yuan lowered her eyes. She had no intention of marrying Xuanyuan Chengze. She was ready to speak frankly and end this relationship.

She sighed and hesitated to speak.

"Just tell me what you want to say." Xuanyuan Chengze was ready to be rejected: "I can bear it."

"I know that the Third Prince pities me. To be honest, I approached the Third Prince because someone asked me to do so. I am not the real Shiqin."

Xuanyuan Chengze didn't expect this to happen.

His expression changed instantly, and he stood up abruptly from his chair, his eyes full of disbelief. He stared at Yun Yuan closely, his voice low and the tone more severe than she had ever heard before.
