Just one sentence made Sang Yuyan's face feel hot, as if she had been slapped a dozen times.
Her expression changed again and again, and the look she gave Gu Huaizhi became somewhat guilty, and her words became even more hesitant.
"I, my status doesn't allow me to enter the palace, so I can only wait in the mansion. I just thought that the prince also lives in this palace, so I asked a few questions casually. I hope the prince will not be offended."
Hearing this, Gu Huaizhi felt that it was just high-sounding words, but he didn't have the heart to argue with her. He just snorted lightly, and then remained silent and ignored Sang Yuyan. Instead, he turned around and asked the housekeeper Song who was waiting on the side.
"How long have the prince and princess been in the palace?"
Steward Song calculated secretly and answered carefully, "About an hour."
Gu Huaizhi calculated the time in his mind, thinking that if he didn't come back by now, he might have been seen by someone.
Gu Huaizhi's guess was correct. Just as he was thinking this, he heard the sound of a carriage at the door. A servant came running over and said that the prince and princess had returned.
Steward Song didn't say anything else. He just said hello to Gu Huaizhi and went to the palace gate.
From beginning to end, he didn't even glance at Sang Yuyan.
Sang Yuyan naturally noticed Butler Song's attitude towards her. If this happened in the General's Mansion, she would have probably made a scene long ago, but Butler Song was from the Prince's Mansion, and she couldn't afford to offend him.
What's more, with Gu Huaizhi watching beside her, she still wanted to leave a good impression on him.
Unfortunately, she was just flirting with the blind man, and Gu Huaizhi didn't have the time to pay attention to her.
Follow Butler Song to find Jun Moyi and Sang Liwan.
Sang Yuyan wanted to call for help, but in the blink of an eye, Gu Huaizhi had already walked a long way away, as if he was afraid that if he walked slowly, he would be entangled by her.
Seeing this, Sang Yuyan stamped her feet in dissatisfaction, but she had no way to deal with Gu Huaizhi, so she could only follow him with grievance, trying to gain a good reputation of being filial in front of Gu Huaizhi.
Although Jun Moyi had revealed his true face in front of Sang Liwan, he still maintained his image as a paraplegic outside. When Gu Huaizhi and the others arrived at the door, Jun Moyi had just gotten off the carriage and was tidying up the corner of his robe when he saw Gu Huaizhi in white clothes hurried over.
[Tsk, wearing all white in the middle of the night, are you pretending to be a ghost?]
Jun Moyi lowered his eyes to hide the smile in his eyes.
Before he could say anything, Sang Yuyan, who had hurried over, burst into tears. "Sister, sister, you're back? How is Dad?"
Butler Song's mouth twitched.
Just now when I was in the mansion, I saw the second young lady always circling around Master Gu. She didn't look worried about General Sang at all, but now she seems to be acting like a filial daughter.
Gu Huaizhi did not intend to guess Sang Yuyan's motives. He just closed his half-open mouth when he heard her voice.
Anyway, he also wanted to ask this question, which would help him talk less.
"I don't know. We entered the palace but didn't see the Emperor or my father. The Emperor probably anticipated that the prince and I would enter the palace, so he had Eunuch Li waiting outside to stop us. It seems that this time, the Emperor will not show mercy."
After Sang Liwan finished speaking, Jun Moyi did not say anything, obviously he thought the same.
At this moment, Sang Yuyan no longer cared about maintaining her image in front of Gu Huaizhi. She pulled Sang Liwan's sleeve tightly and asked again without giving up.
"Eldest sister, what are you talking about? How could the emperor not see you? Last time when dad was imprisoned, didn't the emperor specifically ask you to see dad?"
Although Sang Yuyan was a little confused when facing Gu Huaizhi, she was not a fool.
She knew that she had not yet married and was still the second daughter of the general's mansion, and that she would rise and fall with the general's mansion.
If the General's Mansion still existed, she would be the second lady of the General's Mansion. If the General's Mansion no longer existed, she would be a commoner or even the daughter of a criminal.
By then, let alone marrying Gu Huaizhi, it might not even be certain whether she could marry into a decent family and become the legitimate wife.
On the contrary, Sang Liwan, having married Jun Moyi, does not need any help from her natal family, and what happens in the General's Mansion will not have any impact on her.
Thinking of this, Sang Yuyan felt a surge of jealousy in her heart.
She resented her parents' favoritism towards Sang Liwan, her good luck, and even more so Jun Moyi's preference for Sang Liwan.
She had clearly taken advantage of Sang Liwan's trust in her to do so many things before, but it didn't affect Jun Moyi's feelings for Sang Liwan at all. Instead, it made the two of them get closer and closer.
Moreover, Sang Liwan didn't know what medicine she had taken wrong, but she actually forgot about Jun Mochen, whom she had been thinking about all the time, and lived her life with Jun Moyi wholeheartedly.
How could this woman change her heart so easily?
Thinking of this, Sang Yuyan's eyes turned resentful when she looked at Sang Liwan.
Although she has a lot of little ideas, she is still not good enough in front of Jun Moyi and Gu Huaizhi.
The two men quickly noticed her unfriendly look and looked at her warily. The coldness in their eyes was enough to freeze her to death.
Sang Yuyan quickly noticed the looks the two men were giving her, and quickly collected herself and lowered her head, not daring to make any bad expressions towards Sang Liwan in public.
But she was filled with jealousy.
It would be fine if Jun Moyi protected Sang Liwan, but why should Gu Huaizhi, who never said a word to him, also protect Sang Liwan?
This bitch isn't satisfied with having His Royal Highness Prince An, why is she flirting with other women outside and being so fickle?
Doesn’t Prince An mind at all?
Thinking of this, Sang Yuyan gritted her teeth in hatred.
She lowered her head tightly, afraid that the distorted expression on her face would be seen by someone.
However, Jun Moyi and Gu Huaizhi, who had been paying attention to her, could not fail to see this. The two even exchanged glances where Sang Yuyan could not see.
[You, my sister-in-law, seem to harbor deep resentment towards the princess.]
If you were willing to be nice to her, she wouldn't focus all her attention on Wanwan.
[Your Highness, are you asking me to sell my body?]
[It seems that the prince also thinks this is a good idea.]
Gu Huaizhi: ...
He should have known that in Jun Moyi's heart, except for Sang Liwan, everyone else was nothing but straw dogs.
Thinking of this, Gu Huaizhi snorted heavily, then avoided Jun Moyi's gaze and stopped looking at him.
Sang Liwan always felt that the atmosphere between the two men was a little strange. Ever since they "reconciled", they always seemed to say some gossip behind her back.
In an instant, Sang Liwan's eyes turned subtle when he looked at Gu Huaizhi.
