d him.“Are you saying it was An Ling” Qian Si Chen immediately denied, “With just her as a maid, she wouldn’t dare to plot against this palace. But if…” He suddenly thought of something, his expressio...When they pushed open the courtyard gate, the scene that greeted Madam Xiao made her roar with anger: "What are you doing"

Originally, Qian Si Chen and Xiao Yu Fu were tightly embracing each other, kissing passionately as if intoxicated.

You have to know, before this, Madam Xiao truly doted on Xiao Yufu. Moreover, Xiao Yufu was adept at flattery and deception, so she never believed the rumors circulating outside. However, the scene before her eyes made her furious.

"Mother!" At this moment, Xiao Yu-fu also came to her senses, shook her slightly dizzy head, and was so frightened that she directly slumped down onto the chair.

"You! How could you be so shameless!" Madam Xiao was furious, her whole body trembling. She raised her hand and slapped Xiao Yu-fu with a crisp sound. This was the only time she had ever hit Xiao Yu-fu.

Xiao Yu Fu almost fell to the ground, luckily Qian Si Chen helped her up.

"My lady, it is all my fault. I will take responsibility for Fu'er!" Qian Sicheng held Xiao Yufu, whose face had turned pale with fright, in his arms. Although he didn't understand why he had just lost control, now that things had come to this, he could only protect Fu'er.

“Your Highness, the one betrothed to you is Ge'er. How will you be responsible for Fu'er” In Mrs. Xiao’s eyes, no matter what, Ge'er was her biological daughter. This adopted daughter had snatched the fiancee of her biological daughter, how could she not be angry

"My lady, now that things have come to this, I might as well be straightforward. The one I have always loved is Fu'er, and I will not marry Ge'er."

"Your Highness, are you defying the imperial decree and breaking off the engagement" At this moment, Xiao Zhan also appeared at the doorway, his face dark and frightening.

Xiao Yu Fu was already so ashamed that she had nowhere to hide. Seeing this, she immediately knelt down: "Father, it's not the Crown Prince's fault. All the blame is on me! It was my fault for provoking the Crown Prince. I am willing to die to apologize!" After finishing her words, she stood up and rushed towards a pillar nearby.

"Fu'er!" Qian Sichin came too late to stop her.

"Sister!" Xiao Yuge was quick to intercept her. The play had gone on long enough, it was time for her to make an appearance: "Father, Mother, Sister and Brother Si Chen are truly in love. Please, Father and Mother, grant them your blessing! Your daughter is willing to break off the engagement with Brother Si Chen!"

"Nonsense! You were betrothed by His Majesty. To break the engagement is to defy the imperial decree, do you want your head chopped off Besides, if you are jilted, don't you care about your reputation"

Xiao Zhan glared fiercely at Xiao Yufu, then asked Qian Sicheng: "Your Highness, now that things have come to this, have you figured out how to resolve it Are you going to enter the palace with the old minister to meet the emperor, or..."

Upon hearing that he was summoned to meet the Emperor, even Qian Si Chen felt a chill. His position as Crown Prince was already precarious; if this matter caused his father displeasure, allowing certain individuals to seize the opportunity, wouldn't his mother be in danger

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty the Prime Minister, this matter is my fault. This Palace apologizes to Your Majesty the Prime Minister and Madam! Now that things have come to this, This Palace is willing to follow the example of our ancestors and take both as wives, Ge'er as the crown princess, and Fu'er as a concubine!"

His words made Xiao Yuge beside him blood surge: You scum! Want to enjoy the blessings of all, why don't you just die!

While Xiao Yufu listened, tears welled up in her eyes, filled with grievance. She never expected that after years of hard work, she would only be granted the position of a concubine. She bit her lip, her heart brimming with discontent.

Although Xiao Zhan was unwilling, things had come to this point, and there was no other way. So, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed all his anger: "From today onwards, Miss will be confined to this courtyard for reflection! She is not allowed to leave the courtyard even a single step! Anyone who dares to spread word of today's events, I will have them beaten to death!" He then called Qian Si Chen into his study.

"Mother..." Xiao Yufu still tried to move Mrs. Xiao with tears.

Mrs. Xiao turned her face away, refusing to look at her: "Fu'er, we have always treated you like our own daughter, and you have always been well-behaved and sensible. How could this happen... Well, these days, just reflect on yourself here." With that, she turned sadly and left.

"Mother! Mother!" Xiao Yu-fu cried on the ground, her heart breaking.

"Sister, Father and Mother are in a bad mood right now. What you say won't help. Wait until Father and Mother calm down, and I will persuade them properly." Xiao Yuge helped her up. It was just acting, wasn't it She could do that too.

Xiaoyu Fu tightly grasped Xiaoyu Ge's hand: "Ge'er, you have to believe me, I don't know what happened either. I really didn't mean to fight with you for Sicheng..." Even now, she was still putting on a show of sisterly affection. If not for being reborn, Xiaoyu Ge would almost have believed her.

“I believe my sister. There are still some days until the Lotus Flower Banquet, Sister can take this opportunity to practice dancing well. By the time of the Lotus Flower Banquet, I will ask Father and Mother to let Sister out.” Xiao Yuge withdrew her hand. There were still so many exciting things behind, if there was no Xiao Yu’fu, this white moonlight, wouldn't the happiness be half as much

As the courtyard gate shut, Xiao Yuge's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. Immediately afterward, the sound of a flowerpot shattering echoed from within. It was a pity, such a precious flower, destroyed like that.

Xianzi orchid, a rare flower, also has another unknown name - Duoqing Orchid. When cultivated alone, its fragrance is unparalleled, refreshing and intoxicating. However, once it comes into contact with water and the fragrance of other flowers, it transforms into a seductive aphrodisiac scent. If not for the guidance of the divine physician Wuhui old man in his later life, Xiao Yuge might still be unaware of why he lost control that day in his past life.

In her previous life, Xiao Yufu knew the aphrodisiac properties of the Multi-Affection Orchid and still pretended to give it to her, specifically instructing her to water it often and grow it with other flowers. As a result, Qian Sichin arrived, leading to Xiao Yuge being seduced by the Multi-Affection Orchid's effects, she took the initiative to flirt with Qian Sichin, only to be caught in the act by the elders of the Xiao family, who were extremely disappointed in her. Qian Sichin, who had never taken her seriously anyway, became even more contemptuous of her after this incident.

In this lifetime, Xiao Yufu knew the properties of the flower, yet she still brought it back because she was confident that as long as she didn't water it, nothing would happen. What she didn't know was that the moment An Ling took the flower, Xiao Yuge had already tampered with it. If Xiao Yufu had taken it back and watered it, it might have been fine. But she was too smart, her intelligence misdirected her.

At this time, in the hearts of the elder Xiao family, they believed that Xiao Yufu would do anything to snatch Xiao Yuge's fiance, and their love for her gradually began to fade.

And these days, with Xiao Yufu not around to show off, Xiao Yuge felt at ease and dared to do what she wanted.

Seeing Qian Si Chen dragging his head out of the study, she couldn't avoid him; she could only walk up to him.

"Ge'er, I..." Faced with Xiao Yuge, Qian Sichin felt shame fill his heart.

"Brother Sichen, I know things aren't as they seem. There must be some misunderstanding here. Don't worry too much about elder sister, our parents love her so much. Once their anger subsides, they will forgive her. It's just that today's events are very strange..."

Her words suddenly reminded Qian Si Chen: "That's right, this palace also feels something is strange today." He was infatuated with Fu'er, but he had never thought of offending her before the wedding. Why couldn't he control himself today

"Brother Si Chen, please don't think I'm being nosy, but I just noticed that the color of the tea in front of you seems a bit off. Now that I think about it..."witnessed remained firmly imprinted in her mind.Only when the departing footsteps echoed behind her did Xiao Yu Ge retract all her smiles, even her gaze turned cold and terrifying. The dream scene was...
