However, she didn’t bother to say anything to him. Instead, she took out some mushrooms and cabbage from the kitchen and made a stir-fried mushroom with meat slices, pickled cabbages, and finally, a plate of shredded seaweed.

When the cooking was almost done, Gu Chengrui rushed back. He smelled a familiar smell and remembered Yang Wanning and the others were coming over today.

After he went to the kitchen to greet Yang Wanning, he turned around to return to the dining room.

“Is King Rui back yet?” Zhou Ying asked hurriedly.

“Yeah, we came back together.” Gu Chengrui replied and paused, “1’11 ask him to come over and eat with us.”

“No, it’s not convenient with Wanning here. Just bring some fishball soup over to him.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she took a bowl of soup and handed it to him.

“That’s true. 1’11 be back soon.” Gu Chengrui took the soup bowl and headed toward the main courtyard.

At this moment, Yang Chenglin ran out and chased after him. “You’re my third cousin, right? I’ll go with you.”

“Yang Chenglin?” Gu Chengrui looked at the young man beside him and asked.

“Yes, I’ll go with you; I haven’t met King Rui yet.” Yang Chenglin said expectantly.

“Hurry up, then. The soup will get cold soon.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he walked straight ahead.

Meanwhile, Yang Chenglin jogged behind him.

However, when they reached the main courtyard, Yang Chenglin shrank back and hesitated at the entrance.

Gu Chengrui didn’t force him, and he sent the soup in. When he came out, he looked at him and asked, “Didn’t you want to see the Third Prince? Why don’t you go in?”

“The people around him are very fierce.” After Yang Chenglin said that, he glanced at the guards guarding the place.

“What are you afraid of? Those people are protecting him. As long as you behave yourself, no one will make things difficult for you.” Gu Chengrui thought of something and asked, “Your father’s study room should also be guarded, no?”

“I haven’t been to my father’s study.”

“You haven’t been there?”

“That’s right. No one in the family is allowed to approach my father’s study.”

“Your mother hasn’t been there either?”

“I heard she has been there, but I don’t remember.”

“Does your father treat you well?”

“So-so? He’s busy all day long. Other than asking about homework, we rarely meet and talk.”

“Who usually takes care of you, then?”

“Previously, it was my mother. Now, it’s my stepmother and my sister.”

“Stepmother? Is she good to you?”

“I’m the family’s legitimate son, and my mother’s dowry is in her hands.

“Even if I bullied Chengsen, she never dared to complain.”

Gu Chengrui narrowed his eyes and said, “Your stepmother sure treats you well.”

“Of course, I’ve never been scolded before.

“In the summer, 1 asked for a parrot and spent a hundred taels on it. She paid for it, no matter how painful it was for her wallet.

“After that, Chengsen wanted to spend ten taels on a carrier pigeon, but he was turned down. It’s because she lacks a dowry and the confidence to spend money.”

“Who told you that she’s not confident because she doesn’t have a dowry?”

“My stepmother said so. My grandmother also said that when she married into the family, she only brought a few pieces of clothing with her; she didn’t even have any jewelry.”

“Is that so? But that’s not what your sister said. She didn’t even have a decent dress when she attended the palace banquet a few days ago, and many others laughed at her.”

“How is that possible? Chengsen said my sister was wearing a custom-made dress that cost more than a thousand taels.”

“I asked someone to order those clothes.”

“Impossible.” Yang Chenglin looked at him warily and angrily, saying, “The Gu family’s assets have been confiscated.

“You’d better not sow discord between us..”
