This kind of look was something Gu Ning had never seen before. At this time, the eldest princess still looked graceful and luxurious, but when she spoke, there was a rare coldness.

Gu Ning rolled her eyes and immediately sat next to the eldest princess.

"Grandma, do you have any grudge against the Xiao family?"

"Soon, you won't have any grudge against me anymore." The eldest princess said quietly, "Maybe, I will have a grudge against you."

Gu Ning's eyes widened, but she racked her brains and never thought of her relationship with the Xiao family.

"Didn't you say that the Xiao family has not been to Beijing for more than ten years? How could I have a grudge against them?"

Gu Ning, who had been running rampant in the system tower for several years, was stumped by the words of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess glanced at her angrily, but did not say anything directly. She just patted her hand meaningfully: "You will know later."

When I spoke, the front office was already in front of me.

The eldest princess calmed down her expression and stepped into the front hall calmly.

Gu Ning followed behind, looking at the two people in the hall curiously.

The image of the original owner has already been established here. The more innocent and unpretentious she is, the better she fits the previous image.

There were two people sitting in the hall, one was an old woman with gray hair, and the other was a young girl with a pretty face.

"See the eldest princess, see the lord of Changning County!"

The two stood up and saluted respectfully towards the eldest princess and Gu Ning.

The eldest princess waved her hand gently, and the maids filed in, bringing exquisite pastries and steaming tea to the table for the two of them.

"Mrs. Xiao, I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect you to still remember me."

There was a smile on the corner of the eldest princess's lips, which seemed gentle, but the sarcasm in her eyes made Mrs. Xiao feel cold.

She quickly put down the tea cup and bowed to the eldest princess: "The eldest princess's kindness will be kept in the hearts of the entire Xiao family."

Hearing this, the eldest princess sneered.

"With what you have done, you really can't make me believe Mrs. Xiao's words."

"If you have anything to do, just ask."

The eldest princess raised her chin arrogantly and looked down at Mrs. Xiao.

"My grandmother is also a first-grade wife, so the eldest princess's move is unavoidable..."

"Ruyan, why don't you kneel down!" Mrs. Xiao glared hard at her granddaughter behind her and scolded, "How can you be disrespectful to the eldest princess!"

Xiao Ruyan bit her lower lip tightly and knelt on the ground as soon as she closed her eyes.

"My wife is not strict in discipline. I hope the eldest princess will forgive me." Mrs. Xiao tremblingly kowtowed to the eldest princess, looking very pitiful.

But Gu Ning sat there motionless, as if he didn't see the helplessness of the Xiao family's descendants.

She knew that the eldest princess had never been a narrow-minded person. She was so indifferent to Mrs. Xiao because Mrs. Xiao must have done something sorry to her.

Gu Ning looked on with cold eyes. She was obviously the same age as Xiao Ruyan, but there was no trace of unbearability in her eyes.

At this time, Mrs. Xiao whispered: "I know that the eldest princess will never forget what happened back then, but although the Xiao family is a century-old family, they have no military power and only have a few hundred guards. How can they fight with..."

"Okay." The eldest princess interrupted her coldly, "What happened back then has long since passed, and I never took it to heart. I just laughed at the fact that the Xiao family keeps claiming that it is a century-old family, but then goes back on its promise and fails to keep its promise.

.”

Mrs. Xiao looked embarrassed: "But if Ruyan comes from a good family, looks good, has good looks, and has good temperament, how can she be a widow for a dead person?"

Gu Ning's heart skipped a beat, bodyguard?

Her eyes instantly fell on Xiao Ruyan, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.

The eldest princess's next words confirmed Gu Ning's guess.

"The Xiao family and the late crown prince have made a baby marriage. Xiao Ruyan should have married the unborn grandson in the crown prince's womb. You, the Xiao family, should have kept your promise!"

Madam Xiao was so angry that her chest kept heaving, and she had long forgotten that the person in front of her was the eldest princess who was decisive and decisive on the battlefield.

She stood up with an angry look on her face: "The eldest princess is so unreasonable! If the county lord is engaged to someone, and that person is no longer alive, do you want the county lord to be a widow for him?"

"It's just an engagement, so of course we can cancel it! Ruyan is still young, I can't just watch her become a widow for a dead man!"

"That's the emperor's grandson!" The eldest princess slammed the table and looked at Mrs. Xiao with sharp eyes, "How can I allow you to kill someone with just one word?"

The front hall was silent. Mrs. Xiao blushed but did not dare to say another word.

After a moment, the eldest princess sneered again: "Are you here just to argue with me about the rights and wrongs of this matter?"

"No." She shook her head to herself and said with a smile, "You should be doing it for this half jade pendant."

When Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she rolled her eyes, the eldest princess took out half of a jade pendant that was moist all over.

Gu Ning saw the upper half of the mandarin duck at a glance, and she secretly grinded her teeth.

The so-called emperor's grandson, isn't it just Xie Yan!

I dare to admit that this Miss Xiao in front of me is Xie Yan’s fiancée!

Gu Ning felt sour in her heart and looked at Xiao Ruyan carefully several times.

Breasts - not as big as mine.

Waist - not as thin as mine.

Face - not as beautiful as myself.

Won!

When Xiao Ruyan's eyes moved towards him, Gu Ning had already retracted his gaze and looked at the beautiful face reflected in the clear tea with pleasure.

Chunyu looked at her actions lovingly, and then cast a warning look at Xiao Ruyan.

The head of my own county is not comparable to Xiao Ruyan!

Xiao Ruyan was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head, but at the same time, the dissatisfaction emerged in her heart little by little.

Both the eldest princess and Gu Ning have the same attitude towards the Xiao family - contempt.

She secretly clenched her hands and strengthened her thoughts.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Xiao raised her head, her old wrinkled face full of pleading: "Eldest Princess, Ruyan is still young, I will always find a way out for her."

"Let me ask you, do you really want to cancel this marriage?" the eldest princess asked word by word, "do you not regret it?"

Mrs. Xiao only felt that the eldest princess was crazy. No one would regret it if she could cancel her engagement with a dead man.

She shook her head quickly, fearing that the eldest princess would regret it: "My wife also brought the marriage certificate from that year. I only hope that the eldest princess can let Ru Yan live."

After a moment, the eldest princess chuckled.

She handed the jade pendant to Aunt Gui with a cheerful expression. Aunt Gui understood and carefully checked the marriage certificate presented by Mrs. Xiao, and then nodded towards the eldest princess.

"Princess, the marriage certificate is true."

"good."

The eldest princess took the marriage certificate with her own hands, and under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Xiao, she tore it into pieces neatly.

Mrs. Xiao held half of the jade pendant in her hand, her heart finally settled.

This jade pendant is a token of the Xiao family. It belongs to every queen born from the Xiao family.

The reason why it was originally given to the little imperial grandson who was still grown up was that the Xiao family wanted to make Xiao's daughter the queen again, but now the little imperial grandson has long been turned into a handful of loess, and such an appearance as Yan's face must not be buried.

!

Madam Xiao panicked and thanked her, but her eyes were burning with blazing ambition.

Gu Ning took in all her changes, and a guess suddenly popped into his mind.

——Could it be that...the Xiao family is trying to bring Xiao Ruyan and Chu Yunyi together?

She remembered what her grandmother just said, that the Xiao family had several queens.

Looking at the dozen or so princes, only Chu Yunyi has the greatest potential to ascend the throne.

Gu Ning blinked and subconsciously looked at the eldest princess.

However, the eldest princess didn't say a word, just drank tea with a smile, and didn't even look at Gu Ning.

Mrs. Xiao achieved her goal and saluted the eldest princess: "My wife, please retire."

After all, she is also a first-grade imperial concubine. Before, she was begging for help from the eldest princess, so she kept herself humble. Now that she has the token, her spirit has changed.

The eldest princess had long been accustomed to Mrs. Xiao's changes in attitude, so she only glanced at her with disdain: "Mrs. Xiao only wants to find a good family for her granddaughter, but be careful of betting on the wrong thing."

Mrs. Xiao secretly disdained that even marrying a useless young man from aristocratic family was better than being a widow for the dead.

She took Xiao Ruyan and quickly left the Pei Mansion.

As soon as they left, Gu Ning approached the eldest princess: "Grandma, why do I think they are here for Prince Duan?"

"What?" The eldest princess glanced at her and said with a faint smile: "Can't bear to let go? If you can't bear to let go, I will send someone to stop them now and force Mrs. Xiao to rewrite a marriage contract and make Xiao Ruyan a widow."

"No, no, no!" Gu Ning waved her hand quickly, "I wish Xiao Ruyan could attract Gu Qingqiu's firepower for me!"

There are only less than thirty days until the Queen Mother’s birthday banquet!

Gu Ning thought about it and acted coquettishly towards the eldest princess: "Grandma, I want to borrow someone from you."

"Is it another thank you banquet?" When the eldest princess spoke, her eyes changed slightly, "I'm afraid now is not the time."

But after hesitating for a while, she changed her mind again: "As long as Xie Yan agrees, I won't stop him."

Gu Ning quickly agreed and slipped out of the front hall.

But before she walked out of the door, she saw Xiao Ruyan and Xie Yan standing opposite each other.

At this time, Gu Ning's heart was ringing with alarm bells.

Xiao Ruyan and Xie Yan have decided to get married, have they ever met?

To say the least, even if she had seen him before, she remembered that Xie Yan was only a seven or eight-month-old baby when the former prince died, and then the East Palace was burned to the ground.

Is it possible that seven or eight-month-old babies can still remember each other's appearance twenty years later after meeting each other?

Xiao Ruyan looked at the person in front of him, with tears faintly appearing in his eyes.

"Xie Lang..." she whispered, "are you still resenting me for abandoning you?"

"But I was forced to have no choice. Even after five years, I still remember you protecting me..."

Gu Ning hid behind the flowerpot and listened carefully to the conversation between the two, never letting go of a single punctuation mark.

But even as Xiao Ruyan burst into tears and recalled the good times in the past, Xie Yan didn't say a word.
