At this moment, Geng Yuepeng looked down on Su Mingyue, his eyes full of mockery.

What a clueless, arrogant fool!

I thought marriage was a big deal, that I could use any means necessary, whether it was scheming or overt, to get it in the end?

She used to insist on marrying only the Prince of Jingnan. He almost exhausted all of Yanyu Tower's resources to help her get the marriage. But what good is it if she gets it? In the end, it's still not hers!

What does this mean? If there's no fate between you, don't force it!

Su Mingyue just talked the talk and waited for things to be done, then happily awaited her wedding day without having to do anything. It's true that you don't know the hardships involved until you experience them, and you don't know how to be grateful!

It's too easy to get, we've gotten used to it, and we take everything for granted!

Now that she's changed her mind and no longer likes the Prince of Jingnan, she's heard how good the young prince is, so she's changed direction and wants to climb higher!

With her status as an illegitimate daughter, what virtue or ability does she possess that makes her worthy of such a position?

Is it really love to give up on someone in an instant?

Don't insult the beautiful love in this world!

Ultimately, it all comes down to greed and self-interest!

They always think the grass is greener on the other side, wanting everything, but never considering whether they have the ability or can handle it.

Today she wants to marry this man, tomorrow she wants to marry that man. Ha, what a fickle woman!

Don't ruin those good men's lives, she doesn't deserve it at all!

Geng Yuepeng also mocked himself inwardly, thinking how blind he was and how stupid he was to be so willing to give without any principles!

He's not stupid; he has a feeling there's something fishy going on here!

It's just not certain yet; we'll go back and discuss it thoroughly with the old poison master.

Su Mingyue was somewhat displeased by Geng Yuepeng's words; he didn't believe in her charm at all!

Is she really that bad?

She disliked Geng Yuepeng's tone and attitude, and he looked down on her!

"Godfather, why are you so worried about me? Apart from my status, I'm no less than those legitimate daughters in any way! Besides, as long as you step in, my status won't be a problem! Haven't there been cases where people recognized a noble lady as their godmother and were thus able to marry into wealthy families in style? I'm sure you have the ability to do that, it's too easy! Godfather, please help me! I've already decided to marry the young prince and be a princess, it's so much better than being the crown prince's wife!"

Su Mingyue noticed the strange look in Geng Yuepeng's eyes, but she didn't have time to think about it. She rarely got to escape, and when she went back, she would definitely be punished severely, just like last time, and probably wouldn't be able to come out for many days!

We need to get things settled before we go back, so she won't always feel uneasy!

Even if she manages to get out next time, she might not be so lucky as to find her godfather!

If she can't find it, then no one can help her, and she will completely miss this rare opportunity!

Forget about saving face, you have to get her godfather's approval!

Actually, Su Mingyue had some doubts in her heart: why had her godfather suddenly become so indifferent?

Her gaze was sharp and unfamiliar. In the past, she would only look like that when speaking to her subordinates, but when speaking to her, she would immediately switch to the gentlest tone!

Something must have gone wrong for them to be acting like that now!

She didn't know; she felt her stepmother should know something!

There was no time to think about it further; they could only go back and try to pry some information out of her stepmother to find out the truth.

Geng Yuepeng used to love Su Mingyue's coquettishness, but now he loathes it. Hearing her deliberately high-pitched voice, his hair stood on end. He really admired his brainless self for being able to listen to that!

No, I can't stay here any longer!

In the end, Geng Yuepeng didn't explicitly say whether he agreed or not, but simply told Su Mingyue to go back first while he thought about it.

When Su Mingyue heard this, she thought Geng Yuepeng had agreed, and she was so happy that if it weren't for those people with cold faces there, she probably would have spun around a few times to express her excitement!

Upon returning, Su Mingyue was punished decisively, without uttering a sound or begging for leniency as before, and even promised not to do it again.

Ever since she returned, she's been dreaming. She imagines herself soon becoming a little princess, with everyone in the Marquis of Anping's mansion kneeling and paying their respects. She'll be high above them, looking down on them, using her status to find fault and excuses to punish them. The feeling is indescribably wonderful!

She looks absolutely gorgeous!

She's not defending herself or begging for forgiveness now because her status doesn't allow it!

If they dare treat her like this today, they'll pay for it in the future!

Punish them severely, just don't regret it later, or it will be too late to cry!

Thinking of this, Su Mingyue was full of fighting spirit again and bravely endured the punishment with a smile!

Now all we have to do is wait patiently for good news.

She trusted Geng Yuepeng; he had always kept his word and had never lied to her.

When people have something to look forward to, their mood improves significantly, and their overall outlook naturally changes.

Luo Xiaoniang wasn't blind; she saw the changes in Su Mingyue. She didn't know why her daughter was like this and felt very uncertain!

When I asked my daughter, she didn't say anything, but just comforted me, telling me to take good care of myself and not to think too much!

The more this happened, the more uneasy Luo Xiaoniang felt. She always felt that her daughter was up to something big, but after watching for several days, she found nothing. She couldn't help but doubt herself and wonder if she was overthinking things!

They thought everything would be alright, and living such a peaceful life wasn't a bad thing. But not long after, someone came and said that Marquis Anping wanted to see them, so they should quickly pack their things and go over.

Luo Xiaoniang's heart skipped a beat. Why would they want to see them for no reason?

I have a feeling this is never going to be good!

But I have no choice but to go, sigh!

Su Mingyue reacted in the complete opposite way; her eyes lit up, finally there was some movement!

Her godfather finally made a move; look, he'll be meeting them soon!

This is a good omen; going to them must mean something good is going on!

Therefore, compared to Luo Xiaoniang's hesitation, Su Mingyue couldn't wait to rush over immediately.

Neither of them had anyone come to deliver a message, so they tidied themselves up and left.

When Luo Xiaoniang saw that her daughter was very excited along the way, she thought it was because her daughter hadn't seen her father for a long time, and then she realized that she was overthinking it.

Hopefully, it's not bad news waiting for them.

When they arrived at the scene, they saw not only Marquis Anping, but also the old lady and the lady of the house. However, their faces did not have good expressions, and it was clear that it was not a good thing!

Luo Xiaoniang's expression changed slightly; indeed, there was no good news!

Su Mingyue's smile also faded; this was not what she had expected!

Isn't this the good thing she's thinking?

What is it that warrants such a large-scale mobilization?

"Since you're all here, let's cut to the chase and come over here. Do you recognize these crumpled pieces of paper?"

A crumpled piece of paper?

The mother and daughter turned pale instantly; they finally saw the crumpled paper on the table!
