So, encouraged by Gu Yunru, she rushed out with her head down. Rong Zhen poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Gu Yunru, and said calmly, "Are you just going to watch this silly girl rush out recklessly?"

"She is not a silly girl. I think she is innocent and courageous. She has gone through many hardships along the way to find her father. Moreover, I think Meng'er is innocent.

Besides, Gongsun Biehe has such a strong reputation and prestige in the martial arts world that it is impossible for him not to recognize his daughter. Let's just wait and see."

Gu Yunru knew that Rong Zhen had been bad-mouthing the whole time, and didn't think that Gongsun Biehe would recognize his adopted daughter who suddenly appeared, but Gu Yunru just didn't believe it!

Meng'er mustered up her courage and stood at the door of the study. Her father was inside. She just had to push the door open and muster up the courage to say what she had to say!

She clenched her fists nervously, her heart beating wildly, making her more nervous than any other incident. She felt a little weak in her heart, so she took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.

"This young lady came here with the prince and princess, right? Does the princess want to see me for something important?" Gongsun Biehe had always treated this woman as the princess's personal maid.

When Meng'er heard these words from his mouth, she felt a little hurt. Thinking that he still had important things to do, she quickly shook her head to get rid of those distracting thoughts.

"No, it's Meng'er who came to find Dad." Meng'er looked at Gongsun Biehe in front of him with firm conviction. He looked upright and tall, and was a well-known upright figure in the martial arts world. It was impossible for him not to recognize him! Meng'er took a deep breath, "Dad, I am Meng'er. This is a token my mother gave me before she died. She said that if I take this jade pendant to find you, you will definitely recognize Meng'er." Meng'er said this and handed over the jade pendant. Gongsun Biehe took a look at it and held it in his hand.

Many complex emotions flashed across Gongsun Biehe's face, but he regained his composure in less than half a cup of tea. "To say that you are my daughter just based on a jade pendant is a bit too ridiculous!" After saying this, he threw the jade pendant to the ground, and it broke into two. Meng'er's heart sank, as if a huge rock suddenly hit her head.

"Dad... this is the only thought my mother left me, how could you..." Meng'er's tears flowed down, Gongsun Biehe waved his hand impatiently and said, "I advise you not to lie! I have seen many tricks like yours, don't think you can pretend to be my daughter with this token. Just say you are my daughter.

I am Gongsun Biehe, and I only have one daughter, Gongsun Mengyao. If you don't know how to respect me, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Dad... I'm really not pretending, I'm really your daughter..." Meng'er knelt on the ground and hugged his thighs. Gongsun Biehe kicked her aside in anger, glared at her and said, "That's enough. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"Wuwu..." Meng'er was crying and standing by the side. She was so scared that she dared not speak. Her face turned pale. At this time, Gongsun Mengyao walked in. Hearing the movement in the room, she looked around curiously, "Dad, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

"Nothing, Miss Meng, why are you still sitting on the ground? Hurry up and get up. I really can't do the favor you asked me to do just now!"

Gongsun Biehe changed his angry expression and became gentle as he supported her. Gongsun Mengyao pouted her cherry lips and walked forward and said, "So it's the maidservant beside the princess. Did something happen to the princess? Why are you crying?"

"...No..." Meng'er frowned sadly, the sound of heartbreak seemed to linger in her mind.

"Oh, if you have nothing to do, go out first. I have something to tell my father." Gongsun Mengyao said and asked her to leave quickly. Seeing the tenderness in the eyes of the two women, Meng'er really couldn't understand why Gongsun Biehe didn't intend to recognize her as his daughter.

In his heart, he only has one daughter, Gongsun Mengyao, and her appearance will disrupt all of Gongsun Biehe's plans, and even his reputation and status in the world. Perhaps she really appeared at the wrong time.

Before it got dark, Meng'er came to the Broken Bridge alone and sat down. There were not many people here and the scenery was pleasant. There were fountains and lotus flowers. She sat next to the broken wooden bridge, wiping her tears and looking at the jade pendant that was broken into three petals. She couldn't help but frowning in pain.

"Mom, why did you tell me who my father is? Why did you ask me to find my father? He doesn't recognize my father, he doesn't recognize me at all!" Meng'er said this angrily, and held the jade pendant tightly in her hand. It stung her palm, but she didn't feel any pain. Nothing was more devastating than her desperate mentality. In a rage, she threw the jade pendant into the river.

At this moment, the sound of light footsteps came from behind. Meng'er quickly wiped away her tears and turned back. It was Rong Zhen.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" After knowing their true identities, Meng'er has been very cautious. She has never interacted with people of such noble status, and for a moment she was afraid of losing her composure.

"You don't have to be so reserved and nervous. I was just passing by. I saw you crying alone here, so I wanted to come over to comfort you." Rong Zhen actually happened to be passing by Gongsun Biehe's study and heard the conversation between Meng'er and Gongsun Biehe. He also happened to see Gongsun Mengyao about to enter the house, so he quickly dodged to the side and followed her all the way to the broken bridge. Seeing Meng'er so depressed, he couldn't bear it.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Your Highness. Meng'er is fine. I just suddenly thought of recognizing my father. It's really..." Meng'er's face, crying and laughing, was so ugly. Rong Zhen handed her a handkerchief and did not intend to expose her lie. Perhaps calming the situation down was the best way.

"Thank you, Your Highness..." Meng'er smiled bitterly and took the handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"We plan to leave the villa tomorrow. Do you want to join us?" Rong Zhen asked. It would be too cruel for her to stay in this place that did not belong to her.

"No need. After Daddy and I recognized each other, he hoped that Meng'er would stay here. Although he did not intend to disclose my identity to the martial arts community, Meng'er would be very happy to be able to stay by Daddy's side. Thank you, Your Highness, for making plans for me. It's really not necessary."

After saying this, she lowered her head and left his sight in advance for fear of tears falling.

When it was dinner time, the hall was brightly lit and the atmosphere was very lively.
