Chapter 2027: The Suffering Fiancée vs. The Noble Lady (Part 62)

Shi Yunfei’s heart trembled.

The sinister tone and murderous intent in the conversation made him believe it wasn’t just a threat.

However, he suddenly felt a lightness on his body, then pain, as he was thrown onto the street outside.

Passersby looked at him curiously. Shi Yunfei opened his mouth to curse but quickly remembered the warning words he had received earlier.

After his face alternated between red and white, he could only cover his face with his sleeve and plan to leave.

Finally reaching a deserted alley, Shi Yunfei angrily lowered his sleeve, the humiliation he had just suffered bringing a look of resentment to his face.

"Chang Jiujiu, you’re ruthless!"

He thought it over, completely at a loss for what to do next, and seeing that it was getting late, he sighed and prepared to find a cheap inn.

Yet, as he turned around, he saw a group standing right in front of him...

Gu Shengyin was eating fruit when she received a message from the system.

"Those two have gotten together?" She was somewhat surprised that Chen Mingzhu and Shi Yunfei managed to establish a connection.

But it didn’t matter much.

She nodded and said, "It’s better this way, easier for me to deal with them together."

A few days passed.

It was the grand birthday of the Princess Dowager of Prince An.

As the Prospective Princess Consort of Prince Ping, Gu Shengyin naturally received an invitation.

She knew the reason why Chen Mingzhu had come to ask her for peonies.

The Princess Dowager of Prince An’s love for peonies was known to quite a few, but not an overwhelming number.

If Lady of the Marquis Mingyi could find out, naturally, other families could know it too.

The Kunshan Night Glow peony sold by the Flower King Pavilion some days ago, the final buyer turned out to be the Prince An’s Mansion.

If Gu Shengyin wanted, she could completely offer a peony of excellent quality as a birthday gift that would certainly please the Princess Dowager of Prince An.

But ultimately, she just decided to choose a painting of Longevity Star by a renowned contemporary artist.

This gift wasn’t particularly outstanding, yet not offensive either.

Given Gu Shengyin’s current status, she had absolutely no need to go out of her way to fawn over Prince An’s Mansion.

On the birthday of the Princess Dowager of Prince An, upon arriving at Prince An’s Mansion, Gu Shengyin unexpectedly saw many meticulously dressed young ladies.

Her gaze moved to the Crown Prince of Prince An, who was welcoming guests alongside his father, and recalling previous rumors, an understanding dawned upon her.

So that’s how it was, no wonder Chen Mingzhu was so eager to win the favor of the Princess Dowager of Prince An.

But...

Gu Shengyin sneered inwardly: This Marquis Mingyi’s Mansion was truly overestimating themselves.

The status of Prince An’s Mansion, with Princess Consort An’s formidable methods and her strict criteria for daughters-in-law—

The idea of a fallen noble family like Marquis Mingyi’s Mansion entering Prince An’s Mansion was nothing short of a dream!

Gu Shengyin’s arrival aroused much curiosity.

As the County Princess Si Fang and the future Princess Consort of Prince Ping, her recent reputation in the Capital City was hardly small.

Everyone was very curious about her, and while they didn’t mention it openly, they were quietly observing her.

Gu Shengyin’s attire today wasn’t particularly eye-catching since she was already engaged and didn’t need to create a sensation in such a setting.

Yet there’s a kind of beauty called inborn radiance that’s hard to hide.

Even if she didn’t do anything, even if her attire wasn’t striking, just standing there seemed to draw everyone’s gaze to her like a magnet.

The noble ladies who stood near Gu Shengyin naturally also noticed this, each one moving away slightly in quiet annoyance.

No girl enjoys having their spotlight stolen.
