Jiang Yi's eyes were sharp and observant, and being stared at by such clear and pure eyes, Gu Zhili felt a sense of shame for the first time in his life.
He clearly never thought he was wrong before, and it was Jiang Yide who was not worthy of the position.
But when facing myself, the remaining conscience in my heart emerged.
He thought again of what the emperor had said to him before.
My uncle said that a man should be upright and have the courage to take responsibility for his actions.
He thought he was indeed wrong and should admit his mistake.
Gu Zhili secretly looked at the notes the emperor had written for him before, and then he didn't dare to look at Jiang Yi.
"Miss Jiang Wu is right. A few days ago, Zhili and Miss Jiang San met at a banquet. I was drunk, and Miss Jiang San threw herself into my arms. I was unable to control myself..."
Jiang Lian's face turned green when she heard this. Some things are one thing to do and another to say.
Could it be that Prince Xin is an idiot, to talk about such a thing in public?
The onlookers kept looking at Jiang Lian and Gu Zhili with great contempt.
The fifth daughter of the Jiang family is a little ugly. Under normal circumstances, everyone would say that the fifth daughter of the Jiang family is not worthy of the Prince Xin.
But this does not mean that Prince Xin can have an affair with Miss Jiang Wu's sister.
In other words, even if Jiang Yi and Gu Zhili were not engaged, Gu Zhili and Jiang Lian would still be despised for having an affair before marriage.
Such things are rare even in ordinary families.
Not to mention the protagonists of today's incident, one is a girl from a marquis's mansion, and the other is a prince from a royal mansion.
Is this the upbringing of the royal family?
Perhaps it was because people's gazes were too naked, the little bit of shame that was left in Gu Zhili's heart suddenly emerged.
"I was wrong in this matter. I would like to apologize to Miss Jiang Wu."
"I regretted it afterwards and felt I was unworthy of Miss Jiang Wu. I would like to cancel the engagement."
"If Miss Jiang Wu hates me, today's gift will be entirely up to Miss Jiang Wu to decide."
As he said this, he placed the whip in his hands in front of Jiang Yi with both hands.
He is the only prince in Prince Xin's Mansion. Gu Zhili has never suffered any hardship since childhood. Now he is also worried. I think Jiang Yi will not really hit him.
That shouldn’t be the case, right?
Jiang Yi looked at the whip and was quite tempted. Her mind changed and tears instantly streamed down her face.
"Your Highness may have said it so lightly, but do you know how heartbroken I was when I first heard about this?"
"I lost both my parents when I was just a month old. My grandfather and step-grandmother treated my brother and me very well at first, but they were just trying to use us to gain the title of Marquis. After that, they ignored us."
"When we were older, they tried every possible way to murder us. The marks on my face are caused by them."
"My brother was also imprisoned by them."
"I am a weak woman, living in this mansion full of jackals. My only hope is your trust in Prince Xin."
"I thought that after I came of age, I could marry you and escape from here. You would be my salvation."
"Although I have never met the prince, he is everything to me. Do you want to watch me die?"
"How cruel are you, my prince?"
The girl stood there alone, her eyes full of sadness and despair. The accusations fell on Gu Zhili, and for a moment Gu Zhili felt as if he was an unforgivable criminal.
So when the whip fell on him again and again, Gu Zhili felt that he deserved it.
He destroyed the girl's hope of life.
Oh, damn him.
No one said a word for him until he was beaten to pieces by Jiang Yi.
Gu Zhili could hardly bear it anymore, and Jiang Lian threw herself in front of him crying.
Jiang Lian originally just wanted to pretend, but she didn't expect Jiang Yi to actually dare to hit her.
How could she withstand Jiang Yi's beating? What made her even more terrified was the child in her belly.
Jiang Lian hugged her belly and said, "Don't... don't hit me, don't hit my belly."
Jiang Yi smiled coldly and said, "Why can't I hit your belly? Are you already pregnant with the prince's child?"
"They are truly an adulterous couple."
Jiang Yi put away the whip, not because the child couldn't bear to do it.
But at this time, there were too many people and it was difficult to take action.
She wants their lives, but she doesn't want this bad reputation.
There are many ways to kill them.
And she wanted to torture them to death bit by bit.
Jiang Yi threw the whip at them, looking at them as if they were two dead people.
But the coldness in those eyes was completely hidden by her long eyelashes.
She turned around and tried to leave, but Gu Zhili suddenly called out to her, "Miss Jiang Wu, wait a minute."
"I know I've let you down. Since we're not destined to be together, I'm willing to take you in as my sister. I'll protect you and help you get married."
Gu Zhili seemed to hear the woman's slight sneer, but the voice was too soft and too quiet for him to hear clearly.
Jiang Yi turned around and looked at him with an innocent smile, "Okay," she said.
"But my third sister has my brother's child. I wonder how my brother will treat her and marry her."
Gu Zhili said: "I will welcome her into the mansion and make her a concubine."
In an instant, Jiang Lian's face turned pale.
"I am the daughter of the Marquis's family, how can I be a concubine?"
Jiang Lian deliberately seduced Gu Zhili in order to suppress Jiang Yi. How could a little concubine satisfy him?
However, Gu Zhili did not respond.
His mother said that Jiang Lian had his child, so if he married Jiang Lian, he would have a legitimate son and it would be easier for him to be made the crown prince.
