Are all the people without a blade this ruthless? They didn't even spare their own children. The entire Zheng family vanished without a trace overnight. When Zheng Nanyi was exposed and went to the Zheng family home, he found it deserted.

They immediately assumed the Zheng family had also sided with Wufeng, hoping to create a sense of crisis within the palace and deter them from cooperating with anyone. Unfortunately, no one knew the Zheng family had been wiped out. This is the fate of a sycophant; a sycophant, a sycophant, ending up with nothing. Tsk tsk tsk, this is hard to judge.

【Xiao Kou, you can't be a simp, Zheng Nanyi is a perfect example.】 Speaking of simps, Gong Ruanruan thought about how Xiao Kou had been nowhere to be found lately, sometimes not showing up no matter how much she called him.

Gong Ruanruan was worried that her system might have been stolen, so she decided to use some tricks. In the end, Xiao Kou fell in love online. It turned out that she hadn't been seen during the day, but had been chatting with him every night.

Gong Ruanruan strongly disagreed with this. She thought, "What kind of good person doesn't come out during the day? They're always chatting late at night; they're obviously not a good person." However, she couldn't say it directly, since this was Xiao Kou's first relationship.

So during this period, as long as Xiao Kou was online, he would subtly hint at things, but it seemed to have no effect. Gong Ruanruan said that she could only pray that the other party was a good one, otherwise the final outcome might not be very good.

It's very good to me; it chats with me every night.

Gong Ruanruan: "..."

If Xiao Kou weren't out in front of her, she would have rolled her eyes and let him figure it out himself. Sure enough, being love-struck is a disease that needs to be cured!

"If I were to search for it, I'm afraid the roof beams of this corner palace would all be torn down." Gong Shangjiao looked at Gong Yuanzheng with affection. How could he not know what kind of person his younger brother, whom he had raised with his own hands, was?

Gong Yuanzheng pouted and let out a soft "humph~", looking just like a proud cat with its lips tightly pursed and its mouth puffed out, making Gong Shangjiao unable to help but laugh out loud.

[Who's the cat here? How can he be so cute!]

This action made Gong Ruanruan, who was watching from the side, extremely happy. Who wouldn't be confused by that little expression?

Seeing that Yuanzheng's younger brother's cheeks were slightly red, Gong Shangjiao knew that it must be because Ruan Ruan said something that made Yuanzheng's younger brother blush.

Gong Yuanzheng: (? ???ω??? ?)? She said I'm cute!

"Brother, don't tease me. If Zhi Ren and the elders all say you should choose the bride, would you?" Gong Yuanzheng asked cautiously. He remembered hearing Ruan Ruan say, "Anyway, I can't control myself." Could it be that his brother chose the bride?

Gong Yuanzheng wasn't actually afraid of him choosing a bride, since they would both have other partners. It was just that Gong Yuanzheng couldn't stand it now; he was afraid that Gong Shangjiao would abandon him after choosing a bride.

"We must listen to what the elders and the blade-wielding elders say." Gong Shangjiao paused deliberately, wanting to gauge Gong Yuanzheng's attitude.

Seeing that Gong Yuanzheng was like a flower that had just bloomed and then withered the next moment, I knew I couldn't continue. Otherwise, the corner palace might not suffer any loss, but there would be another poor child.

Gong Shangjiao patted Gong Yuanzheng's head and comforted him, "Alright, even if your brother chooses a bride, he will always stay with Yuanzheng. Besides, besides your brother, there is also Ruanruan. With your brother and Ruanruan, Yuanzheng will never be alone."

After speaking, Gong Shangjiao looked at the well-behaved kitten sitting on the cushion and asked, "Isn't that right, Ruan Ruan?" Gong Shangjiao's tone was very gentle when he said this, and his deep voice was very pleasant to hear.

Gong Ruanruan, completely absorbed, nodded involuntarily, unaware that anything was amiss. One could only say that Gong Ruanruan possessed some intelligence, but not much.

That's so true. I'm going to stay in this world until I die of old age, don't worry, brother.

Gong Ruanruan walked in front of Gong Yuanzheng, placed her little paws on his kneeling legs, and nuzzled his chest with her head, making a few affected, cutesy noises, "Miao~ Miao~~"

Gong Yuanzheng was overjoyed to hear this. It was like a woman saying that a man can never tell if she's being sarcastic or tactless; it just means he's not doing it to her.

What he said next made Gong Yuanzheng, who had been very happy, quickly force a smile back. "Brother, don't worry, I'll definitely always be with you, but my own brother... that's not so certain, after all, he's chosen a bride."

She seems to really like it~ We won't go into too much detail, but Gong Shangjiao and Gong Ziyu's judgment is undeniably accurate. Out of ten brides, one was rejected, and out of these nine, they were able to choose the one sponsored by Wufeng at a glance. They truly have exceptional insight~

Upon hearing that his brother had chosen a bride and liked her very much, Gong Yuanzheng couldn't sit still for a moment. He looked at Gong Shangjiao with a wronged expression, which puzzled the person sitting to the side. What had he heard this time?
