"I have come uninvited today. Please forgive me, but I have a matter that I wish to speak with you about."

"Young master, please speak."

Before coming here, Bai Lingtian had made mental preparations, but now, Gu Huanjing's calm mood and strange attitude had made him feel very discouraged for no reason.

However, he still had to say what he had to say.

"Does Miss Gu know that the Gu family was unreasonably accused and framed two days ago?"

Gu Hua Jing immediately pricked up her ears, her eyes lighting up.

"Although I have already figured out the truth, and someone is dissatisfied with the Gu family, they deliberately fabricated evidence to frame us. Furthermore, the root of the problem is the Second Prince who suffered a loss at the hands of the Gu family, but I feel that the matter is not that simple."

"Master Bai, why do you say that?"

Thus, Bai Lingtian told everything that was on his mind.

The Second Prince was not that stupid. The matter this time had framed the Gu family, hadn't he framed the Second Prince as well?

Ever since the Gu family showed their sincerity to the emperor, the Second Prince had always kept a low profile. He had even helped the Gu family several times.

This was a critical moment, so how could he let anyone catch him framing the Gu family?

"Then, who do you think is behind all this?"

"I... No evidence has yet been found, so don't talk nonsense. "

Although he felt that there was something amiss, he did not have any other proof.

"Today, I came here to remind young lady that the Gu family must not go against the Second Prince because of that. Then, they've fallen into someone else's trap."

Gu Hua Jing seemed to have thought of something, but suddenly she frowned, "I remember that Young Master Bai is working for the Second Prince right?" This kind of reminder would inevitably make people feel that it's too biased. "

"I'm not trying to excuse anything for the Second Prince. I just don't want the Gu family to be in danger. If that's the case …" "If that's the case …"

You'll be sad...

Bai Lingtian did not finish his sentence, but Gu Hua Jing could see it in his eyes.

She could not help but feel faint ripples in her heart, so was Bai Lingtian trying to remind her that he was being unfair?

He did not expect that he would be a pretty decent person. Unfortunately, they had met at the wrong time. Furthermore, there was no chance for him to correct his mistake.

"Thank you, Master Bai. I will remind my father and brother."

Bai Lingtian let out a sigh of relief when he heard this. He had originally planned to be kicked out, but he had also thought that if he said those words, he would make Gu Hua Jing treat it as a joke.

However, he didn't expect that she would sincerely thank him. Even the expression on her face wasn't as polite as it was from the start.

This was probably the reason why he was captivated by her. He could not figure out her actions, but she was always able to give him a pleasant surprise.

"One more thing. I think that although I may have misheard and there's no news from outside, I would like to confirm it with Miss."

"Young master, please speak."

Bai Lingtian's expression suddenly became somewhat tangled as his lips pursed tightly. Only then did he ask a question that caused Gu Hua Jing to instantly tremble in fear.

"I wonder if Miss Gu is acquainted with Third Prince?"

Gu Hua Jing's nerves immediately tensed up. Even her fingertips were taut.

"Young master, why do you ask?"

Gu Hua Jing tried her best to keep her voice from trembling, but she could feel that she seemed to be feeling cold again. Her complexion shouldn't be looking too good.

Bai Lingtian stared at her, the look in his eyes deepening bit by bit.

Why did Gu Hua Jing's face turn pale at the mention of the Third Prince?

Hadn't she become indifferent to everything? Why did he have such a huge reaction when he heard his question?

Could it be that the news I heard...

Bai Lingtian stared at her with a dark expression and his tone remained unchanged.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I've forgotten where I heard it from. They say that his highness the third prince has some deep ties with Miss Gu. Some people even say that Miss Gu might be lucky enough to fly onto a branch and become a phoenix …"

As Bai Lingtian spoke, his eyes were fixedly staring at Gu Hua Jing, and he did not miss her trembling white lips.

Gu Hua Jing could no longer afford to maintain her dignity. At this moment, her mind was in a mess.

Where did Bai Lingtian hear this from? No, it should be no matter where he heard it from, this kind of news could not be randomly made up.

Who would connect him and the third prince? Who would have such a brain?

The only explanation was that the rumors that Bai Lingtian had heard were all purposely for him to know!

Swallowing her throat, Gu Hua Jing took a deep breath and tried to force out a faint smile, "I wonder where this news came from?"

"I just want to know, is that true?"

"It has nothing to do with Master Bai. If Master Bai can't tell me, then I will just pretend I didn't ask."

Right now, Gu Hua Jing's mind was filled with thoughts of escaping, and it was too late to care about Bai Lingtian's feelings.

It didn't matter if he wanted to say it or not. In any case, this rumor was enough to prove that the Third Prince hadn't forgotten about her. This was a nightmare!

"I had unintentionally overheard someone secretly discussing it. Initially, I wanted to throw it to the back of my mind as a joke. Now, it seems that it is not just a joke."

Gu Hua Jing's attitude made Bai Lingtian at a loss. How was this possible? But if that was impossible, why was her reaction so abnormal?

Third Prince... That beautiful, enchanter-like prince was concealed under the light of the Second and Fourth Princes, and was not like the other princes who had their limelight blocked out.

Even though the Third Prince had a reputation of indulging his emotions and loving the warm and gentle countryside, it was something that could be mentioned often in the capital.

Bai Lingtian did not think that such a person was really useless. On the contrary, such a person would make people feel wary.

But why did it have to do with Gu Hua Jing?

Bai Lingtian felt a burst of discomfort in his heart. When he thought of how Gu Hua Jing might become the third prince's concubine, he felt that it was a fantasy, but he did not dare to think about it.

"Miss Gu, His Highness' reputation isn't that great. Third Prince has many concubines in his estate, and everyone knows that the Third Prince likes the new and hates the old. Y-you, why do you have to …"

Gu Hua Jing raised her head, and the cold look in her eyes startled Bai Lingtian.

"Am I such a foolish person in my young master's eyes? Do I need you to say something like that? "

"…" Bai Lingtian was stunned. What did Gu Hua Jing mean?

"T-that rumor."

"The young master also said that it was just a rumor. I don't have any plans to fly up the branch and become a phoenix. I thank the young master for the reminder today. Young master, please go back."

Gu Hua Jing didn't have the mood to entertain any more guests, so she let Greenwood see the guests off. She left the front hall with a bit of a blank mind.

Bai Lingtian did not feel that he was being ignored because of Gu Hua Jing's actions. On the contrary, because of Gu Hua Jing's words, his heart was filled with joy.

She did not feel happy because that was the Third Prince. If a girl from an ordinary family was able to get a hold of a prince, then no matter what the status of the prince was, she would still feel happy and encouraged.

Although Bai Lingtian had said those words just now, he was actually worried in his heart.

Gu Hua Jing left with him. For a girl to have such good fortune after leaving, it would be a heavenly joyous occasion for anyone.

What Bai Lingtian was afraid of, was what Gu Hua Jing would think.

But she didn't.

In the face of such temptation, Gu Hua Jing showed a faint trace of impatience and anxiety. This kind of emotion made Bai Ling Tian feel inexplicably comfortable.

Maybe he really was wrong...

On the other side, Gu Hua Jing was not as relaxed as Bai Ling Tian.

How could the news of the third prince's intention to marry her be made known to Bai Ling?

Was this intentional on the part of the third prince, or was this unintentionally overheard by Bai Lingtian?

Gu Hua Jing was more inclined to the first type. There was no reason, just intuition.

She had thought that Feng Rong had forgotten about her, but he hadn't.

The problem that haunted him all the time was still there.

But what on earth did she mean by that? Let Bai Ling know what kind of world was hidden within?

Gu Hua Jing held her head and moaned. She couldn't think of anything! A young girl like her would never be able to guess the thoughts of such an important figure!

Otherwise, she should hurry up and pack her bags.

"Your Highness, Bai Lingtian went to the Flowing Garden today."

"Did we already let him know?"

"Your Highness, Bai Lingtian already knows."

Feng Rong's Weibo lips slightly pursed as she smiled. Although it was faint, it was still enchanting.

Good to know.

When Lei saw that her head was lowered and saw the smile scar on Feng Rong's mouth in the corner of her eyes, he felt a chill in his heart.

There was a reason for his Highness to do anything. This time, even though he wasn't clear on the reason why his Highness leaked the news to Bai Ling, the reason was probably for the hidden reason.

Feng Rong's slender fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest, time and time again, showing that he was in a good mood.

I wonder what kind of expression Bai Lingtian would have when he hears this news?

Who would have thought that Shen Lixuan and Han Xizhi wouldn't be able to move Gu Hua Jing? That day at the Fang Residence, Gu Hua Jing had written a poem that revealed her reluctance and longing for Bai Lingtian.

Right now, he would quickly snatch the other person over. What would Bai Lingtian think?

"Hehehehe …"

Feng Rong's deep laughter was very clear in the room, and her happy mood was obvious.

Lei's body tensed up even more. Every time His Highness was like this, it meant that someone else was going to have bad luck. He wondered who this pitiful person was …

Gu Hua Jing muddled for two days. During which, she occasionally had Qing Mei clean up the mess, as though she was planning to run away overnight.

But once she was done packing up, Gu Hua Jing was left in a daze as she looked at the candle flame. Once the daydreaming ended, she let the little girl put the things back in a depressed manner.

Not even a day later, she threw caution to the wind and asked them to pack up again. Then, like a frosted eggplant, she gave up.

After repeating this several times, Gu Hua Jing finally couldn't bear to continue watching herself anymore. Each of the little girls had no complaints or regrets as they relied on her to torment them. How could she bear with this?
