Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"Why?" Liu Yingxue asked, unwilling to give up. Was it just because she wasn't Ling Yue's king, was she just a Regent?

Gu Junxiu didn't want to continue talking about this matter and turned his lips into an antenna as he looked at her indifferently. He was about to leave. She was like an octopus. Suddenly, she hugged her waist tightly and said softly, "Treat this as if you were returning it to me."

Before he could struggle free from her grasp, he heard Zi Juan's surprised shout. Turning his head around, he indeed saw Ruan Xiaonuan.

"Get lost." Gu Junxiu pushed her away in disgust. This time, he used a lot of strength and Liu Yingxue directly fell to the ground.

Although her body was in great pain, she didn't let out a single groan. Instead, she looked at them like they were victors with a smile on her face. Ruan Xiaonuan looked at her every time, then walked over and extended her hand out, saying, "Stand up."

"No need." Liu Yingxue said haughtily as he brushed away her hand. When she turned to leave, she suddenly walked to Ruan Xiaonuan's side and said softly, "You've seen what kind of person he is, don't you have any idea?"

He left without waiting for her to reply. Ruan Xiaonuan looked at her back in confusion, as if she was still unclear about what had happened. When she looked back and saw worry in Gu Junxiu's eyes, she actually smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Although she appeared very calm on the surface, her heart was filled with a sour feeling, as if she had drunk a jar of vinegar. Gu Junxiu worriedly looked at her and thought about it for a long time, but in the end, he still didn't explain anything. In the end, all he could do was put his arm around her shoulders and say, "It's already late in the night. Let's go back."

Ruan Xiaonuan followed him and nodded like a puppet, looking a little dazed. Although she was still lying on the familiar bed, surrounded by familiar people, she was not sleepy at all. Moreover, Gu Junxiu was holding onto her, so she did not dare move, afraid that if she moved, she would be discovered by him, which would make things even more awkward.

Just like that, her eyes closed for the rest of the night. But what she did not know was that Gu Junxiu had actually watched over her for an entire night. When she slept, her breathing was different, so it was easy to find out. He waited for her to speak, but the night passed and she didn't.

Of course Ruan Xiaonuan wanted to ask, but she was afraid of the answer so she endured it the entire time. On the second day, when they woke up, Zi Juan and Mo Yan looked at her black eyes in pain and immediately took out a hot towel to apply.

Gu Junxiu had gone to court early on, there were only the three of them here, he could not help but complain, "Prince, why are you like this, you already know that Miss Liu is not a good person."

Mo Yan rolled his eyes at her, and said gently, "Miss, there must be some kind of misunderstanding."

"Let's let this go first. We still need to go to the Prime Minister's Estate today." Ruan Xiaonuan thought about it for an entire night, and currently, she basically did not want to talk about it.

Zi Juan was a straightforward person, she did not understand that Ruan Xiaonuan wanted to put it down, and wanted to speak again. Mo Yan immediately said, "Go and bring the young lady's breakfast over, we won't be eating in the hall today."

"But this?" Zi Juan was still holding onto the hot towel, and did not know what to do. Mo Yan immediately took her towel and said, "I'll do it here."

"Thank you, Mo Yan." Ruan Xiaonuan said tiredly. Mo Yan shyly smiled and continued to help her.

After some effort, her frightening dark circles finally disappeared quite a bit. However, it was still very obvious. Mo Yan looked at him with a bit of distress, and said with distress, "Today is a very important day, but what if it cannot be removed?"

"Forget it. It's almost time. Let's do it like this, Ji. Let's go." Ruan Xiaonuan looked at it, and didn't feel that anything was amiss.

"Xiao Wen, you're finally here." This time, the one waiting outside was actually the Madam Guan herself. When Ruan Xiaonuan got off the carriage, she was truly shocked.

Furthermore, Guan Chen was actually here as well. She had probably been scolded by the Madam Guan and today, she actually wore a faint smile on her face. The Madam Guan pulled her hand and suddenly asked worriedly, "Did you not rest well last night? Why does your face look so bad? "

"Thank you Madam for your concern. I'm just worried that something might happen today, and that I might lose face for you." No one doubted Ruan Xiaonuan's words, other than Mo Yan and the others.

When Madam Guan heard this, she was even more happy. She smiled and said, "It's fine, don't worry. But there's one thing you should take note of. " She suddenly became serious.

Ruan Xiaonuan asked anxiously, "What is it?" She was truly worried, because she didn't know the slightest bit of ancient etiquette. Madam Guan patted her hand, and smiled as she said, "You should change your name, why are you calling me Madam?"

"Foster mother." She called out as if he was following his instructions. Madam Guan immediately smiled, it did not look like she was pretending.

Ruan Xiaonuan couldn't tell if she was real or fake right now, but in the end, she would always be a family in name.

"Master, Little Warm is here." Madam Guan pulled her as she spoke. This was the first time Ruan Xiaonuan had seen the Prime Minister Guan so close. She was sure that when he was young, he was definitely a handsome man.

While she was sizing him up, Prime Minister Guan was also sizing her up. Although he had heard the other party's name before, this was the first time they had actually met. Although she didn't have that kind of stunning woman, she was definitely not the vulgar person that the rumors described.

"Little Warm, from now on, this is your home. This is your foster mother." She pointed to the Prime Minister Guan. Ruan Xiaonuan lowered her head slightly, and called out softly, "Foster father."

Prime Minister Guan smiled and nodded, looking very satisfied. Madam Guan pointed to another young man and said, "This is your sworn brother, Shangguan Ling." Just like before, Ruan Xiaonuan respectfully called out.

"Alright, we already know each other. Let's go." Madam Guan seemed to be very anxious. Hearing that this was the hour that the Madam Guan had specially arranged for someone to come here to count, she couldn't afford to waste even a second of time.

Ruan Xiaonuan vaguely heard the first part of the sentence. She seemed to understand it somewhat, because almost all of the words she said were remote words that she had never heard before. After listening to this part, Madam Guan opened her mouth, "From now on, you are my adopted daughter, a member of the Shangguan family."

After she finished speaking, Ruan Xiaonuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the Madam Guan, then brought two cups of tea here. They received it with a smile. Madam Guan walked over and said, "Get up, child."
