Chapter 99 Destruction

The other adult following behind turned his head as he spoke, but didn't forget to look at the younger generation at the end.

"What are you all standing there for? Get back to the front yard!"

Although many of these people are of high status, they don't want to get into trouble because it involves the Crown Prince.

So the young people who first discovered the situation scattered, leaving behind a group of old ministers who didn't look too good.

"Lord Duke? Would you consider personally inviting the person inside out?"

Hearing the filthy sounds coming from inside the room, the group of people lost their attention, while their Crown Prince remained completely oblivious to the woman's presence.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Duke Anguo had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in, even though he had refused countless times in his heart.

A moment later, a woman's scream came from inside the house. The sound was sharp and shrill, and Gu Shuyan and Ouyang Jing, who had just reached the courtyard gate, heard it clearly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shuyan's lips unconsciously curved into a smile. She glanced at the maid beside her and then walked leisurely with Ouyang Jing to a secluded corner.

Standing there, they could not be seen by the people inside the courtyard, but they could see the situation inside very clearly.

Gu Yingxue was dragged out of the Duke's mansion, her clothes disheveled, and thrown to the ground like a rag doll.

"Tell me, who are you?"

Seeing Gu Yingxue bowing her head and remaining silent, Duke Anguo was furious. She had actually seduced the Crown Prince and even brought him to his territory. She was simply asking for trouble.

"My daughter, my daughter is..."

Gu Yingxue stammered and couldn't speak properly, especially after glancing to the side and seeing the Crown Prince striding out. Her mind was buzzing, and she couldn't think of anything to say.

She clearly came to this guest courtyard with the Third Prince, and she followed him into the room. If anything were to happen, it should be between her and the Third Prince, not the Crown Prince.

Looking at the Crown Prince in front of her, whose status was more noble but whose appearance was no match for Lu Youming, Gu Yingxue's eyes instantly filled with tears.

"Waaaaah..."

Before she could finish answering Duke Anguo's question, Gu Yingxue covered her face and began to cry.

Gu Yingxue regretted her actions whenever she thought about how her dream of becoming the Third Prince's consort had been shattered, and that she would have to get involved with this womanizing Crown Prince in the future.

The prince straightened his clothes and looked at the woman who had fallen to the ground and was crying with tears streaming down her face. Thinking of the alluring beauty that had just been in the room, a feeling of pity and tenderness welled up in his heart and overwhelmed most of his reason.

"What is the Duke doing? Even if there is a mistake in what happened today, it is my fault. Why are you making things difficult for such a weak woman?"

The Crown Prince gently helped Gu Yingxue up from the ground. Because of her disheveled clothes, the Crown Prince could see the marks he had left on her neck.

Swallowing hard, the prince felt as if the anger he had just suppressed was about to rise again.

"Your Highness, this woman has ulterior motives and is deliberately seducing Your Highness. Your Highness must not be deceived by her."

Seeing the Crown Prince's intense gaze, the Duke of Anguo's expression turned cold, and he timely interrupted the Crown Prince's romantic thoughts.

"No, I did not seduce His Highness the Crown Prince."

Gu Yingxue felt so wronged. She was already upset that her scheme had failed, but then she ended up having a relationship with the Crown Prince.

Filled with shame and indignation, Gu Yingxue retorted without hesitation when she heard Duke Anguo accuse her of seducing the Crown Prince.
