Only then did she fully realize that she had been used as a raft without even knowing it.
Her nails dug deep into her palms, and a fierce look gradually appeared on her originally pretty face.
What daughter of the Marquis of Anyang? She's clearly that bitch Su Xuerong!
She never expected that Xiao Yuan would actually petition for her father to be granted the title of Marquis for the sake of the Su family!
Why should I?!
In Xiao Yuan's heart, she was not even as good as that widow!
Adding to the fact that she had been harmed by Shi Shu before, Ge Yin's heart was burning with a raging fire, wishing she could burn that damned bitch to ashes!
The maids standing nearby couldn't help but shudder as they watched their mistress's face gradually turn ferocious.
With a gloomy face, Ge Yin slowly slipped a jade ring off her finger, put it into a velvet pouch, and handed it to the maid behind her: "Have someone send this to the Wu family in Qiantang immediately, and make sure to hand it to the fourth young master of the Wu family personally!"
"yes!"
The maidservant left immediately.
Ge Yin continued chewing on a piece of candied fruit, finding it tasteless, but then discovered that the more she chewed, the more bitter it became, to the point of making her want to vomit.
The next day, when Ge Yin came to Chunfeng Tower again, she saw a person sitting upright by the window table as soon as she entered the private room.
This person had a slender build but no outstanding appearance; he was the kind of ordinary person who would be easily lost in a crowd.
It was precisely because of his unremarkable appearance that Ge Yin spent several years with him at Yaowang Manor without developing any feelings for him.
Wu Jinxuan, on the contrary, fell in love with Ge Yin at first sight and was practically obsessed with her at Yaowang Manor.
As Ge Yin was leaving Medicine King Manor, he insisted on giving her the jade ring, vowing that he would go through fire and water for her if she needed him.
As Wu Jinxuan watched Ge Yin walk in, he couldn't hide the excitement and joy on his face.
"Ah Yin, how have you been these days?" he asked hurriedly. "I heard about the trouble the Ge family had a few days ago, so I made a special trip to Hangzhou, but unfortunately I couldn't find you..."
It was precisely because Ge Yin learned of this matter that she decided to ask him for help.
She immediately frowned, put on a worried expression, and said nothing, only watching Wu Jinxuan keep shedding tears.
Seeing the beautiful woman before him, Wu Jinxuan felt a pang of pity and quickly said, "Ayin, what happened? Tell me quickly..."
Ge Yin immediately covered her face with her hands and burst into tears, crying out, "Senior brother, I... I don't want to live anymore..."
"Can't we talk this out?" Wu Jinxuan said anxiously, quickly leaning over to gently pat her back. "Please don't do anything rash. I'll definitely help you if anything happens!"
Ge Yin slowly raised her head, looking at Wu Jinxuan with deep eyes, and said, "Senior brother, I... I want you to help me destroy a woman..."
After leaving Chunfeng Tower, Wu Jinxuan felt a chill run down his spine.
Ge Yin actually wanted him to use the Wu family's power to find a way to kill Xiao Yuan's bride-to-be at his wedding.
Wu Jinxuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Isn't this just handing his and the Wu family's heads directly to Xiao Yuan?
He had intended to refuse, but Ge Yin's constant crying made it impossible for him to speak, so he could only vaguely agree.
The Wu family is capable of sending someone to assassinate him, but if the plot is exposed, he and the entire Wu family will be finished!
Wu Jinxuan, covered in cold sweat, sat in the carriage, his mind gradually calming down.
He did have a strong affection for Ge Yin, but it wasn't to the point where he would do anything for her.
Besides, if he does this and succeeds in the end, Ge Yin will be able to marry into the royal family smoothly. What will he gain then?
If Xiao Yuan were to pursue the matter, Ge Yin might sell out the Wu family to protect herself.
No matter what he does, it will bring utter destruction to the entire family.
Wu Jinxuan suddenly laughed, a laugh filled with deep sorrow.
The image of Ge Yin, the unattainable goddess in his heart, crumbled instantly at this moment...
When Ge Yin returned to the Ge residence, she had just reached the gate of her courtyard when she saw an old woman standing there. Her face immediately darkened.
The old woman rushed to greet her as soon as she saw her: "Madam, you've finally returned! The lady has been waiting for you for so long..."
Ge Yin walked past her with a cold face and entered the house, saying expressionlessly, "What are you waiting for me for?"
She turned to the old woman and sneered, "Go back and tell her to just pretend I don't exist as her daughter!"
Although Shishu and the cook were exposed and the Ge family was exonerated, she could no longer be Xiao Yuan's woman.
She hated the Ge family! She hated her third brother! She hated Madam Ge! She hated everyone here!
The old woman was utterly astonished, staring at her in disbelief, speechless for a long time.
Is this still the same Ge family lady who was famous in Hangzhou for her filial piety?
Her former gentleness, thoughtfulness, kindness, and virtue have all vanished.
The old woman eventually returned to Madam Ge's courtyard in disappointment.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard her coughing violently coming from the inner room.
Ge Huai'an happened to return at that moment, and upon hearing the cough, he rushed in: "Mother!"
At this moment, Madam Ge seemed like a completely different person compared to a month ago.
His once plump appearance had become thin and bony, his eyes were sunken, making him look ten years older, his once black hair had begun to turn gray, and his face was extremely haggard.
In just one short month, the Ge family experienced a dramatic rise and fall, and Madam Ge collapsed immediately.
Looking at his mother's appearance, Ge Huai'an felt a lump in his throat and couldn't help but look at the person serving her: "Did Mother take her medicine today?"
The old woman next to him looked somewhat troubled.
Mrs. Ge has recently stopped taking her medicine.
They had no other choice but to ask Ge Yin to come and persuade her.
But Ge Yin has been leaving early and returning late these days, and Madam Ge can't see her daughter even when she wants to.
The old woman stammered out Ge Yin's reply, and Madam Ge's eyes immediately went limp, her head turned inward, and she silently shed tears.
Ge Huai'an gritted his teeth, stood up abruptly, and walked out.
"Sanlang..."
But then came Madam Ge's soft voice from behind.
Ge Huai'an hurriedly turned around.
"Please, please don't make things difficult for your sister anymore..." Mrs. Ge said, tears streaming down her face. "She must be blaming me..."
Ge Huai'an retorted angrily, "What does this have to do with you? Does it mean that if she wants to get married, someone has to marry her?"
Even if it weren't Xiao Yuan, but any other man with backbone, if he didn't like someone, he simply wouldn't like them. Why would he marry them?
Looking at his mother's haggard face, Ge Huai'an swallowed the words he wanted to say.
Ge Yin has become like this because of your wrong parenting in the past!
Xiao Yuan, who was living in the villa, was unaware of what had happened to the Ge family. He not only brought Su Jingxuan back to Hangzhou, but also personally began to plan He Su Xue Rong's wedding in great detail.
But that very night, something happened in the dungeon of the Prince's mansion.
