Chapter 2024: Miserable Fiancée vs. Daughter of a Wealthy Family (Part 59)

Just as the business at the Flower King Pavilion was flourishing day by day, and the Chang Residence was bustling with preparations for the wedding, a special guest arrived at the County’s Mansion.

Gu Shengyin was a bit surprised upon hearing the visitor announce their name.

After a moment’s thought, she instructed her people to bring the person up.

As Chang Fei walked along, taking in the intricate carvings and bridges over flowing waters, he felt both envy and a bit of nervousness.

Lately, his fortunes hadn’t been too favorable, and after hearing that the father and daughter of the Chang Family seemed to have come to the Capital City with great fortunes, he hurriedly made his way over.

The young servant leading him stopped at the entrance without entering, merely bowed slightly to invite him in, and then retreated.

Chang Fei had never experienced such rules and atmosphere before.

He took a deep breath, tightened his grip with the hand in his sleeve, and stepped into the door.

At the first glance of the figure seated at the main seat, Chang Fei’s eyes widened, and his gaze burst with intense joy.

"Sister Jiujiu, it really is you!" he exclaimed with joy.

The next moment, a reprimand sounded from behind Gu Shengyin: "How dare you! The name of the Lady of the County is not something you can casually call!"

Chang Fei was startled and only then did he notice that there were two well-dressed maids standing behind Gu Shengyin.

Indeed, she had become prosperous, even having maids attending her. He thought to himself.

His heart grew even more eager.

Chang Fei, with fiery eyes, looked at Gu Shengyin, changing his tone with a full smile: "Lady of the County, I am still your elder brother, right? How come you all moved to the Capital City without saying a word to me?"

His words carried a hint of resentment.

Gu Shengyin did not ask him to sit; instead, she calmly picked up a cup of tea and slowly sipped it, ignoring him altogether.

Chang Fei initially had a smiling expression, but as time passed with Gu Shengyin maintaining such an attitude, his expression gradually became colder.

When Gu Shengyin finished half a cup of tea, Chang Fei finally couldn’t help but speak: "Lady of the County, I know you are now prosperous, and I’ve heard you’re going to marry the Prince! Surely, the Prince wouldn’t want to marry a Princess Consort who isn’t even willing to support her own elder brother, right?"

This sounded like a threat?

Amused, Gu Shengyin handed the tea cup to the maid beside her, finally fixing her gaze on Chang Fei.

"Elder brother? Young Master Shi, why am I having a hard time understanding you?" She scoffed.

Upon hearing the words Young Master Shi, Chang Fei’s expression changed.

Gu Shengyin didn’t wait for his reaction and continued: "I’ve heard that Young Master Shi is the legitimate eldest son of the Shi Family from Lanzhou. Upon being discovered by the family, you immediately offered prayers at the ancestral hall and were included in the family genealogy."

She suddenly stood up: "When Young Master Shi officially changed his name to Shi Yunfei, did you never think that you were the adopted son of the Chang Family in Cloud County? Did you never consider returning to the Chang Family to report it? Did you never mention to the Shi Family that you were taken in as an adopted son by the Chang Family?"

She sneered and said: "The Lady of the County’s father has only one daughter, me, Chang Jiujiu, and I have no elder brother. Young Master Shi, you should return from wherever you came!"

Chang Fei, no, Shi Yunfei, upon hearing her merciless words, began to panic.

He had calculated everything, but never imagined that after traveling all this way to reach the Capital City, the Chang Family would respond with this attitude!
