"Your own sister? Where did you get a sister? You must be joking with me." Gu Xingnuo clearly didn't believe it.

"Really, come here and let me tell you something. Little sister, do you have time? Could you come with me to the teahouse for a while?"

Luo Ling'er looked at Gu Xingnuo and Liu Sisi and asked.

"All right!"

Liu Sisi has been quite busy lately, so it's good for her to relax occasionally.

So the sisters found a teahouse nearby and went inside.

Princess Minhui's coachman finally caught up, and the two Wang sisters handed the carriage over to him before following him into the teahouse with peace of mind.

Luo Ling'er's carriage had come to a stop. Hong'er's legs were still shaking a little when she got off the carriage, but she quickly caught up with her mistress.

After everyone had left, Lin Rou and Tian Wanning got off their own carriages.

"Sister Tian, ​​how come this little bitch is so lucky? This time, not only did we fail to get anything out of her, but we also let her steal the spotlight."

Lin Rou stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

"Hmph, it's just a coincidence. We can't get her this time, but we have plenty of time. No rush, we'll take it slow."

Tian Wanning wasn't in a hurry at all, because she had a new goal.

Yesterday, her father, the Marquis of Zhongyi, told her to find a way to win the favor of the Second Prince.

Based on the current situation, the second prince is the most likely to inherit the throne, which means whoever marries the second prince will be the future empress.

Once she becomes Empress, she can easily crush a lowly peasant girl like an ant.

Of course, she wouldn't tell Lin Rou any of this, because she knew that Lin Rou also liked the Second Prince.

Moreover, she used many foolish methods to try to curry favor with the Second Prince, but she couldn't even get a glimpse of him.

She wouldn't be as foolish as Lin Rou; if she wanted to attract the Second Prince's attention, she would have to use some tricks.

"Little sister, I have some things to take care of at home, so I'll have to go now. I'll come visit you again when I have time."

After Tian Wanning finished speaking, she got into her carriage. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Lin Rou had no choice but to go home.

Inside the teahouse.

"Ling'er, tell me quickly what's going on! How did you suddenly get a younger sister?" Gu Xingnuo asked with a gossipy look on her face.

"That's a long story, it's like this..."

“……………”

“……………”

"A quarter of an hour later, Luo Ling'er told her everything her parents had told her about Liu Sisi."

Gu Xingnuo is a sentimental girl. Upon hearing about Liu Sisi's background, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken and tearful for Liu Sisi.

"Sisi, I didn't know you had such a hard childhood."

"But since you were born into a rural family, how did you learn such martial arts skills?"

She couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart when she recalled how handsome Liu Sisi looked when he caught her.

She even thought that if this were a man, he would probably marry no one but her in this lifetime.

"That's a long story." So Liu Sisi brought up her mysterious Taoist master.

She made up a bunch of nonsense to the two beautiful women, and they both believed her completely.

As they chatted, the conversation turned to the incident of the carriage going out of control.

So he called the coachman over and asked him what happened. The coachman said that a cat had bumped into his horse, which startled it.

He vaguely saw that the cat seemed to have been deliberately released, but it couldn't see clearly who the person was.

Realizing that things were not so simple, Liu Sisi told Luo Ling'er and the other woman about her encounter with the men in black the night before and how she found out their intentions.

It was also mentioned that the people behind the scenes were Lin Rou and Tian Wanning.

"What? They came to me yesterday and said bad things about you. I ignored them, and then they sent people to attack you last night? If you weren't so skilled in martial arts, who knows what might have happened!" Gu Xingnuo's face was full of anger.

She couldn't understand how girls in their teens could be so cruel.

"This is outrageous! They're actually bullying my sister! Even though our family isn't as prestigious as theirs, we can't let them treat her like this."

Luo Ling'er got up, intending to confront Lin Rou and Tian Wanning, but was stopped by Liu Sisi.

"Sister, don't be impulsive. We have no evidence. Although the men in black said they were their people, I didn't leave any of them behind last night."

"Besides, their petty tricks can't hurt me. Don't worry, I'll protect myself."

Getting back at these two is easy; she has plenty of ways, it just depends on whether she has the time.

"Ling'er, don't worry. I will protect Sisi from now on. She is your sister, which means she is my sister too."

"Although I don't like to use my status to intimidate people, if they really go this far, I don't mind using my status to put them in their place," Gu Xingnuo reassured Luo Ling'er.

After chatting for a while, Liu Sisi said goodbye to the two and went back to the Imperial Dragon Pavilion to continue researching her beauty pills.

The scene changes.

After saying goodbye to Lin Rou, Tian Wanning went to the road that Gu Lingchen always took when training his troops.

She planned to feign weakness to gain Gu Lingchen's sympathy, so she let the driver go first when they arrived at their destination.

He waited on the road with his maid, and even went to great lengths to sprain his ankle.

Her current limping, delicate appearance is so pitiful that it would make any man feel tenderness at first glance.

After waiting for quite a while, Gu Lingchen finally came riding over from a distance.

Fearing that Gu Lingchen would ignore her, she hid behind a big tree beforehand.

Hearing the approaching hoofbeats, the horse suddenly darted out, but Gu Lingchen reacted quickly and reined in his horse.

"Who goes there? How dare you block my way?" Gu Lingchen shouted.

"Your Highness, I had no intention of offending you. I just twisted my ankle and it hurts so much that I lost my balance and bumped into you."

As Tian Wanning spoke, she wiped away imaginary tears with a handkerchief, her voice so affected and artificial that it sent a chill down Gu Lingchen's spine.

He showed no interest whatsoever in the delicate and frail beauty before him.

Instead, he frowned and said coldly, "If you sprained your ankle, go find the imperial physician. What are you doing in this desolate wilderness? Don't block my way. I'm going to train the troops."

He also wanted to visit Liu Sisi's Imperial Dragon Pavilion after training his troops today! Liu Sisi is busy from morning till night every day, and he wonders how the beauty pills she mentioned are doing.

Thinking of all this, he stopped talking to Tian Wanning and rode away, leaving Tian Wanning sitting on the ground, bewildered in the wind.

"Why did the Second Prince leave?"

She was thinking of all sorts of ways to stay by Gu Lingchen's side, provided that Gu Lingchen would take pity on her and send her back to the Marquis's mansion.

She, who prided herself on her beauty, never expected that Gu Lingchen would abandon her and leave without a word.

She glanced resentfully at Gu Lingchen's departing figure, "Hmph, I don't believe it, I'll get you sooner or later."
