Gu Yunran stopped and turned to look at Gu Xiang, "Father, may I ask, what did I say wrong?"

"Didn't she invite Lu Qingzhou?"

Gu Qingyue said: "I invited the person, but..."

"You don't need to explain anymore." Gu Yunran interrupted coldly, "If the emperor treated you like this, and tried to kill you again and again for other women, would you forgive him generously?"

Gu Qingyue pursed her lips. "How could the emperor do this to me? He loves me so deeply that he would never murder me for another woman, let alone me..."

Gu Qingyue smiled proudly: "I am pregnant with a dragon son, this is the emperor's first child, he can't wait to pamper me, how could he bear to make me sad."

"Then sister, you shouldn't have come to persuade me. You haven't experienced my suffering, so don't try to persuade me to be magnanimous." Gu Yunran paused and looked at Gu Qingyue with a cold look in his eyes. "Or is it that sister is trying so hard to persuade me to go back because she has another purpose?"

Gu Qingyue's heart trembled suddenly, but she quickly regained her composure. She felt aggrieved and said, "Sister, you misunderstood."

"Oh! Then you are closed..."

"Enough!" Gu Yunran was not finished speaking when Prime Minister Gu interrupted her coldly, his face full of anger. "Yunran, your sister is the current queen. Do you think you can criticize her?"

He took a deep breath, clutching his aching chest, and said, "It's only because your sister doesn't mind. Otherwise, ten of your heads wouldn't be enough to chop off."

"Uncle, please don't be angry. I'm meddling in your business." She felt a little aggrieved, her eyes slightly red. "I'm just worried. I'm just worried that my sister will do something she'll regret in the heat of the moment."

"Forget it. Since my sister is so determined to break away from the Li family, I won't try to persuade her any further."

She glanced at Lu Qingzhou and said, "Go back."

Lu Qingzhou pursed his lips, unwilling to give up. He turned to look at Gu Yunran and asked desperately, "Yunran, are you really unwilling to give me another chance?"

"There's no way we can do that again!"

With a thud, Lu Qingzhou knelt in front of Gu Yunran, hugged her thighs, and begged: "Yunran, I was really wrong. Please don't leave me, please give me another chance."

Gu Yunran kicked Lu Qingzhou away and took a few steps back. "Don't bother me anymore. I won't forgive you."

Lu Qingzhou's face turned pale, and at the same time, he felt humiliated. He had already knelt down to beg her, what else did she want?

Clenching his fists, Lu Qingzhou raised his eyes to look at Gu Yunran and asked, "Yunran, do you really have no feelings for me at all?"

He couldn't believe it. She loved him so much before, how could she let him go just like that?

Gu Yunran had already lost her patience and said in an annoyed tone, "Lu Qingzhou, even though I'm a first-class woman, I know that I must keep my word. Now that I've left the Lu Mansion, there's no way back. Why don't you just give up on this idea?"

"Being persistent is annoying."

Lu Qingzhou's face turned pale and red. He didn't expect Gu Yunran to say such insulting words. He pursed his lips, his face reddened to his ears, and he felt embarrassed for a moment.

Gu Xiang kept his eyes gloomy and said nothing. When Yun Ran wanted to marry Lu Qingzhou, he had disagreed. Now that his daughter had come to her senses, he would of course support her.

Madam Gu shook her head and sighed: "Qingzhou, why did you do this so early? As a mother, I know Yun Ran best. She is gentle, virtuous, and sensible. I decided to marry you because I wanted to live a good life with you, but you..."

Mrs. Gu did not say the rest of the words. It was really that the Lu family had gone too far. Whenever she thought of the humiliation Yun Ran suffered in the Lu family, her heart ached.

Holding her forehead with a headache, Mrs. Gu said again: "Go quickly!"

"Yun Ran will definitely not go back."

Gu Qingyue winked at Lu Qingzhou and advised, "My sister must still be angry. You should go back today. I will try to persuade her."

Lu Qingzhou bowed to Gu Qingyue, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Queen!"

After saying that, he looked at Gu Yunran again, "Yunran, I know you are still angry with me. I don't blame you. I will use practical actions to prove that I will treat you well. I believe you will change your mind."

"Wait for me!"

Lu Qingzhou left with full confidence. Gu Yunran found it ridiculous and wondered where his confidence came from.

The banquet was halfway through when Lu Qingzhou's arrival spoiled the fun and Gu Yunran lost her appetite. She bowed slightly to Prime Minister Gu and Madam Gu and said, "Father, Mother, I'm full. Please enjoy your meal."

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Gu Xiang to speak. Gu Xiang was so angry that his old face turned red. He was about to call out to Gu Yunran, but was stopped by Gu Qingyue.

"Uncle, forget it. Sister Yunran is in a bad mood. Let her be alone."

"Can you lose your manners just because you're in a bad mood?" Gu Xiang was furious. "Luckily it's you, Qingyue. If it were someone else, they would have chopped off her head long ago."

"I don't mind, let her go."

Gu Yunran just stepped through the door when she heard Gu Qingyue's words. She couldn't help but turn around and sneered: "Sister is really considerate!"

"I specially invited Lu Qingzhou to persuade me to return to the Lu Mansion to be tortured!"

"Thank you!"

"Yun Ran..." Gu Qingyue wanted to defend herself, "I'm just worried that you'll make an impulsive decision that you'll regret for the rest of your life."

"My meaning is very clear. If you really want to do this for my own good, please stop interfering in my affairs with Lu Qingzhou."

After saying that, Gu Yunran turned away and looked at Gu Xiang with an awkward smile.
