Gu Hua Jing only wanted to dig a hole and jump in. Her image had been ruined. Feng Rong had spoken as if she were a song that they would sing every night!

In this situation, it was best to leave as soon as possible.

Thus, Gu Hua Jing no longer had any objections and immediately wanted to walk out of the temple.

There weren't many people going down the mountain right now. Although Master Hui Jin was only giving pointers to one fated person, he couldn't stop the rich people in the capital from coming.

There was still a chance for him to get more silver taels if he wanted to sincerely accept them.

Thus, at this time, there were not many people at the entrance of the temple.

Gu Hua Jing followed behind Feng Rong, thinking about how she would respond if Feng Rong asked her what Master Hui Jin had told her.

At this moment, a youth suddenly rushed out from the side and ran straight into Gu Hua Jing.

Gu Hua Jing was caught off guard, and her body fell backwards. She didn't expect that the youth would actually knock him away.

"Madam!"

Qingmei and the others hurriedly held Gu Huajing up. When she regained her balance, they saw Feng Rong holding the young man as well.

Gu Hua Jing's heart thumped, as she instantly guessed the identity of this youth.

When he lifted up that dirty face that could not hide the face of a pampered lord, Gu Hua Jing sighed in her heart.

So this was the reason why Feng Rong brought him to the Jade Glow Temple?

"Little brother, are you alright?"

Gu Hua Jing walked over to warmly inquire, but the youth suddenly tugged at the corner of her clothes.

Wuu, my beautiful elder sister fairy, I'm sorry, but I've run into you. I had nowhere else to go, so I wanted to burn some incense for my dead parents and then go with them.

"…"

Gu Hua Jing resisted the urge to mock him and hurriedly helped Ah Ze up from the ground.

The prop master had to add more chicken legs. Just look at Ah Ze's clothes. Aside from the areas where the black mud was not evenly spread over his face, one could see that he was fair and delicate. Where was the shadow of that wealthy young master from back then?

Where the hell did this ragged dress come from? Feng Rong was willing to let Ah Ze wear this kind of rags?

He raised his head and glanced at Feng Rong. He, too, was looking at him.

There was no emotion in his eyes. It was as if he had appeared out of nowhere as a trivial person.

Turning around, Gu Hua Jing advised gently, "Little brother, you must not let your thoughts run wild. There's no obstacle that you can't get through."

Ah Ze lowered his head, sobbing, "I am already alone. A child that no one wants, what's the point of me living?"

Gu Hua Jing was stunned. She saw sparkling teardrops the size of beans falling out of Ah Ze's eye sockets. She knew that this line had probably touched the child's heart.

Sighing, Gu Hua Jing felt her heart ache. Such a big child, she had never enjoyed the love of her parents before. Even her existence was not allowed. Just thinking about it, it was quite tragic.

"Sister fairy, I don't have the money to bury my father, so why don't you buy me?"

As he said this, Ah Ze once again wanted to kneel on the ground, "I am willing to be your slave, I only hope that you can help me bury my father. Sister fairy, I beg of you."

Gu Hua Jing quickly held onto Ah Ze's body, looking somewhat troubled. "This …"

She turned her head to look at Feng Rong. "Your Highness, this child is truly pitiful in my eyes. I don't know if …"

"I have no idea where he is, and I don't know his identity. It's best for us to get to the bottom of this."

"But, I feel like this child is fated to be with me, and Master Hui Jin also said just now, let me do as I please, everything has its destiny, this child coming before me shows that he has some fate with me."

Although there were few people at the entrance of the temple, there were also some people. After seeing this scene and hearing Master Hui Jin's name, every one of them had the intention of watching a good show.

I don't know if the rumors about His Highness conniving at the side were true, but where did the beggars come from? Aren't you being a little too cheap?

Seeing that Feng Rong still remained unmoved, Gu Hua Jing really wished she could go along with what he said. She didn't want to bother with him anymore. In any case, the person who cared the most about Ah Ze definitely wasn't her.

But she didn't want to die! She still had to follow the disguise.

"Your Highness …"

Gu Hua Jing gritted her teeth and walked over to Feng Rong's side. Under everyone's gaze, she lightly tugged on Feng Rong's sleeve.

"Your Highness, I have three older brothers. I am the youngest in the family and have never had a younger brother or sister. This child seems to have some fate with me. I want to take him as my sworn brother, is that okay?"

"…"

"Your Highness, please …"

Gu Hua Jing's voice was soft and sweet, giving off a kind of coquettish feeling. When she purposefully tried to curry favor with a coquettish tone, it was like a small brush brushing past the top of a person's heart.

Suddenly, there were some onlookers who looked at Gu Hua Jing with strange expressions. No wonder the Third Prince said that Gu Hua Jing hadn't rested well in the past few days.

Who would be willing to let such a beautiful woman rest well?

Gu Hua Jing was ready to throw caution to the wind. What kind of image did she want? Would she eat it like a meal?

However, if Feng Rong still didn't agree to it … she had no other choice. She wasn't familiar with the business of seducing people in public.

While she was waiting for Feng Rong to say something, another person suddenly walked out from the side.

"Since Your Highness isn't willing, little brother, why don't you come back with me?"

"…"

Gu Hua Jing wanted to faint once again, why would Bai Ling Tian come out to join the liveliness?!

"Bai Qing, are you thinking of stealing from me?"

With these words, those who were originally watching had to find all sorts of reasons to continue watching.

The third prince's words seemed to mean something! Was this person talking about the little beggar who was covered in filth, or …

Gu Hua Jing felt that it was time for her to withdraw after achieving success.

Before she could move, Feng Rong's voice stopped her in her tracks. "General Bai wants to fight with me for her. Madam, do you think we should give her to him?"

"Hehehe, when a man speaks, how can there be any place for me to place my beak in his mouth?"

"Why is there no place for you to speak? There will always be a place for you in front of me."

Gu Hua Jing looked at Bai Lingtian's dark expression and then at the surroundings. All kinds of expression appeared on her face, as if she was about to label him as the bane of her beauty.

He sighed in his heart, "Thank you, Your Highness. I want to recognize this sworn brother of mine. If Your Highness doesn't agree, then I can only give up on this idea."

After Gu Hua Jing finished her consideration, her chin was suddenly lifted, "Your wish, when have I ever let you fail?"

The sound of inhaling could be heard one after another, but Gu Hua Jing's heart was somewhat cold.

The perfunctory smile on her face could not help but stare quietly at Feng Rong's dark pupils.

Remember this man, remember this expression.

Every word he said revealed his connivance towards himself, but every word he said was also a blow to the heart.

As a woman, what was there to be proud of in serving others with sex? However, this was the impression that Feng Rong wanted to leave for others.

With her head slightly turned away, Gu Hua Jing bowed and said, "Many thanks to this grandpa for his help."

Wasn't it easy for him to be completely obedient?

Really, compared to being helpless while being unable to do anything, what was this?

Feng Rong's hands were empty, and she subconsciously frowned. Why did she have such an indescribable feeling in her heart?

Since Feng Rong agreed, Gu Hua Jing had someone help Ah Ze up. When she passed by Bai Lingtian, for some reason, Gu Hua Jing suddenly stopped.

If she was unable to use her own strength to leave Feng Rong's side, could she ask for help?

If Feng Rong wanted to make a move on the Gu family, would anyone else have the ability to help her save the family?

Gu Hua Jing raised her head and glanced at Bai Lingtian. This man's integrity was terrifying. If he was as bad as she thought he was, perhaps she could use him without a care in the world.

But, he just wasn't …

Closing her eyes, Gu Hua Jing didn't show any signs of reaction. It was as if she was just imagining things as she walked towards the temple's entrance.

The surroundings quieted down.

Who would have thought that the unruly Third Prince's opposing wife would actually be so indulgent? Even a little beggar was allowed to take her in as an adopted brother. This was truly an eye-opener.

And General Bai … what the hell is he …?

"Tian."

Mother, didn't you want to go and pay your respects to Bodhisattva just now?

As if nothing had happened, Bai Lingtian turned around with a calm expression.

Liang Ruyan was overjoyed. When Tian'er had walked out earlier, she had been scared out of her wits.

"Alright, alright, then we'll go now."

Amongst the crowd, Han Xizhi quietly watched as Bai Lingtian walked away.

No one understood Bai Lingtian better than himself. After being together with him for so many years, he could be said to be someone in this world who could understand his thoughts.

Just a moment ago, Bai Lingtian seemed to have made some sort of decision. Han Xi did not know what he was thinking, but this time, Bai Lingtian was serious …

"Lei Jie, go with him."

Feng Rong pointed at Ah Ze.

"No need. Your Highness, please help me take care of my foster brother. I will just ride with Qingmei."

Gu Hua Jing interrupted Feng Rong's arrangement with a smile on her face.

"Your Highness can also carefully inquire about my sworn brother's background."

With that said, Gu Hua Jing bowed slightly and brought Qing Mei to a carriage at the back.

"Halt."

Gu Hua Jing stopped walking and turned around with a dignified air, "Does Your Highness have any other orders?"

Feng Rong's brows were still furrowed. She passed Ah Ze to Lei Bian, then pointed at the carriage she was riding and looked at Gu Hua Jing, "You get on this one."

It didn't matter to her which one.

Gu Hua Jing obediently got on the car without even a word of doubt.

Lei saw that he had to carry Ah Ze to another car. He prayed in his heart, "What's wrong with my little aunt?" Why does Your Highness feel that you're in a bad mood again?

Isn't it good at Jade and Flower Temple?

"Lei see big brother, sister-in-law, are you angry?"

"Hmm? Madam Wei? "

Lei saw that he was stunned, and his wife got angry? How could he tell? Madam, Madame … Wasn't he always smiling gently? Where was he angry?

Inside the carriage, Gu Hua Jing sat there quietly, looking dignified and calm.

Feng Rong sat on the other side, her gaze landing on Gu Hua Jing.

Her expression was unreadable, and there was a pleasant little smile at the corners of her mouth, but it didn't feel right.

It was as if there was an insurmountable line separating them. It was estranged, distinct.
