"And didn't Miss Wang say she was pregnant with your child? Why don't we take this opportunity to announce the news?"
In the servants' eyes, these were all good ways to prove that their young master was alright.
But Gao Xun grew angrier the more he listened. He kicked the servant to the ground and said, "I'm afraid my innocence hasn't been cleared yet, and now you're adding another crime to cover up the truth! What a terrible idea!"
Since he said that, the servants had no choice but to squat down by the door, feeling wronged, and grit their teeth inwardly, saying, "I don't know who spread this news, they are really malicious!"

Instead, seeing the glitz and glamour of this place, he would not be able to help but feel timid and would worry about her going to the Xiao family.
She never thought about talking to her father about power, status, wealth, or glory; those were things she had to scheme for. For her, it was enough that her father was alive and well.
