"Miss, didn't I tell you? No matter what happens, you must not act impulsively."
"Xiaomei, why have you become so timid? Have you forgotten what I told you? I will never let anyone bully me. If anyone dares to hurt me, I will make sure they die a horrible death!" Gu Sang glared at Xiaomei and shouted at her with a hint of anger in her voice.
Xiao Mei looked at Gu Sang with her head down and her voice weak. She said, "Miss, I'm just afraid you'll be deceived by the Second Young Master. You don't know how cunning he is now. Didn't he tell you before that he would let you stay in the Gu family and that after you married him, the two of you could do whatever you wanted in the Gu family? But look at you now. He doesn't even respect you and wants to drive you away."
"Alright, stop talking. I know everything. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind. I will not compromise. I absolutely will not allow any threat to exist. Otherwise, I will kill him without hesitation!" Gu Sang said firmly, looking at Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei sighed helplessly upon hearing Gu Sang's words. She knew that Gu Sang would not change her mind once she made a decision, and she could only do as Gu Sang instructed.
When Gu Sang had almost finished tidying herself up, Li Rong had already returned. As soon as Li Rong entered the house, he saw Gu Sang tidying up her clothes.
Hearing the noise, Gu Sang quickly turned around and saw Li Rong walking in from outside. She quickly put on her clothes, then looked at Li Rong and asked, "Li Rong, you're back?"
When Li Rong saw Gu Sang's attire, he paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then I'll go out and prepare dinner first." Gu Sang said, turning around to walk outside.
Seeing Gu Sang's appearance, Li Rong quickly called out to her. Gu Sang stopped and looked at Li Rong with a puzzled expression, asking, "Li Rong, is there anything else you need?"
"Gu Sang, are you dressed like that because you're going out?" Li Rong asked, looking at Gu Sang's outfit with a puzzled expression.
Gu Sang snorted and looked at Li Rong with an annoyance, saying, "What do you think? I can't possibly wait here for you to eat, can I? Do you expect me to prepare dinner for you?"
"Of course not, I just find it strange that you haven't left the Gu residence at all during this time. Why do you suddenly want to leave today?" Li Rong asked Gu Sang, puzzled.
When Gu Sang saw that Li Rong had asked her such a foolish question, she shook her head and said, "Of course I want to leave here. Do you think I want to stay here and suffer your humiliation? Your Gu family is just an ordinary noble family. How could I, the legitimate daughter of a prime minister, be willing to stay in your Gu mansion for the rest of my life?"
When Li Rong heard Gu Sang's words, his heart skipped a beat. What did Gu Sang mean? Did Gu Sang already know that he and Gu Lin'er had conspired against her? Impossible. He had been so discreet in his actions, and only he and Gu Lin'er knew about them. Gu Sang only had Xiao Mei as her confidante. There was absolutely no way Gu Sang could have found out.
"Oh, so that's the reason!" Li Rong smiled at Gu Sang and said, "Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry. After all, you are my fiancée. Although you are not a formal member of the Gu family now, you are considered half a member. How about this, tonight, you come with me to the palace banquet. You can also let everyone get to know you. After all, you are now my wife, Li Rong's wife."
After Li Rong finished speaking, she walked towards the door.
Gu Sang was stunned when she heard Li Rong's words. She didn't understand why Li Rong had suddenly become so enthusiastic and kind to her, and even tried to match her with Gu Yunhao. Gu Sang had never encountered anything like this before. What was Li Rong up to? What did he want to do?
Gu Sang thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, so she had to give up. Since Li Rong was so enthusiastic, why should she refuse? Anyway, her goal was to leave this place. Now that she had found a way to leave the Gu family, she had to make good use of it and absolutely couldn't let Li Rong see it. Otherwise, her plan to escape from this place would be ruined.
Thinking of this, Gu Sang walked towards the door and called out to Xiao Mei, who was standing guard at the door, "Xiao Mei, let's go. Young Master Gu asked me to accompany him to the palace banquet."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mei immediately stood up from her chair. She looked at Gu Sang and said with a smile, "Second Miss, you're finally willing to come to the palace banquet with me. I thought you would stay in the Gu residence forever! I'm so happy for you."
Hearing Xiaomei's words, Gu Sang rolled her eyes at her. Looking at Xiaomei, she said speechlessly, "With you staring at me like that, how could I possibly want to attend the palace banquet? Do you think your second young lady is too stupid?"
Upon hearing Gu Sang's words, Xiao Mei smiled and said, "Second Miss, what are you saying? You are not only beautiful, but also exceptionally intelligent. How could you be a fool?"
"Alright, alright, stop praising me. You should hurry up and get ready. Li Rong and I will be going out together later." Gu Sang sighed helplessly upon hearing Xiao Mei's praise and urged her to hurry up.
"Alright, I'll go prepare it for you right away. Second Miss, please wait for me." Xiao Mei waved to Gu Sang and turned to leave.
Gu Sang sat down at the table and looked out the window. It was already dark outside. Gu Sang frowned, and for some reason, she suddenly had a very ominous premonition.
She felt that something was bound to happen tonight, so she had to come up with a plan. Otherwise, once the palace banquet started, she probably wouldn't be able to leave the Gu residence at all.
Li Rong and Gu Sang left the Gu residence together and headed towards the main gate.
Li Rong sat inside the carriage, his face frighteningly gloomy. His hands were clenched into fists, and he muttered to himself, "Gu Sang, you absolutely cannot make the slightest mistake, otherwise I will really be ruthless to you. If anything happens to you, even if Gu Lin'er and your parents forgive us, my own conscience will not allow it."
Li Rong felt a pang of regret for his actions. After all, Gu Lin'er's parents had treated him well, and he shouldn't have driven them to such a desperate situation...
