Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Ying Nanyao should have been angry, but after hearing Shangguan Tang's words, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

After leaving the back mountain, a group of imperial guards took the wild boar away.

The two pink sedan chairs were used to pick up the wild boar.

"Take it to the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence. You all stay here and wait until the Marquis of Weiyuan returns before leaving," the Crown Prince instructed.

The group of experts remained expressionless, though their eyes twitched slightly.

His Highness the Crown Prince's actions today have once again broken previous records.

Ying Yufu watched the two sedan chairs depart, and sighed softly, "Alas, it's truly unfair to Ruyan and Yuyan. Such a beautiful pair of sisters, and now they have to become someone else's concubines!"

Upon hearing the phrase "a pair of beautiful sisters," the crown prince nodded vigorously, "Yes, what a pity for such a pair of beautiful sisters!"

Shangguan Tang returned to the main topic, saying, "Shishu, do you remember where you lost your hairpin?"

After thinking for a moment, Shi Shu said, "Master, it should be near this main hall."

"Then let's look carefully."

Shangguan Tang told the monks in the temple about this, and the monks quickly arranged for people to come and help with the search.

Unfortunately, they searched for a long time, even looking into distant places, but still couldn't find it.

"That hairpin wasn't anything particularly valuable; it was just an ordinary silver hairpin. The pilgrims who come to Huangjue Temple are all either rich or noble, so even if they saw it, they probably wouldn't bother to bend down and pick it up."

The poem says, "But that is the only memento my mother left me."

If the Second Prince hadn't suddenly appeared and taken them away, she would have found the hairpin immediately.

Shi Shu's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them.

"Master, if we really can't find it, then forget it..." Shi Shu didn't want Shangguan Tang to continue to make things difficult.

Just then, a gentle and refined voice rang out from the side: "Young ladies, are you looking for this hairpin?"

The voice came suddenly, and everyone looked over to see a handsome middle-aged man standing not far away, holding a silver hairpin with plum blossoms in his pale hand.

He wore a long black robe with wide sleeves, the brocade sheen of which looked very luxurious and beautiful in the sunlight, indicating that he was someone of importance.

"Yes, it's my hairpin!"

Poetry and books welled up with tears; the joy of finding them again overwhelmed her with emotion.

She quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Thank you, sir. Could you please return this hairpin to me? I will be eternally grateful."

Shi Shu bowed in thanks and reached out to take the silver hairpin.

Just as the hairpin was about to fall into Shi Shu's hand, the man slightly withdrew his hand.

His narrow, fox-like eyes stared at Shi Shu's face, and the naked, wicked look in them was extremely unsettling.

"I do not yet know your name, young lady. If you could tell me, I would like to return the hairpin."

Poetry and books: "..."

She had never been so speechless.

"Sir, you flatter me. I am but a maidservant of my master. It would be disrespectful for you to know my name."

The man was quite difficult to deal with. He shook his head and said, "Alas, you are mistaken, young lady. With your looks and demeanor, it is a pity that you are a maid."

"How about I ask your master for you, young lady? You can come back to my manor and become my twenty-ninth wife."

Shi Shu's face turned green.

What kind of situation is this?

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Tang stepped forward to support Shi Shu.

Just then, the system's voice rang in Ying Yufu's mind.

[Host, be careful! This man is promiscuous; he has a venereal disease.]

Ying Yufu rubbed her forehead.

The next moment, she suddenly stepped forward and snatched the hairpin from the man's hand.

She held a handkerchief in her hand, which perfectly covered the hairpin.

"Miss!" Shi Shu immediately beamed with joy.

But soon, her smile froze on her face.

Because Ying Yufu whispered in her ear, "Aunt Shishu, don't wear this hairpin yet, and don't touch it directly with your hands."

"This man has that kind of illness, so let's take the hairpin back and clean it thoroughly before he wears it again."

After Shi Shu realized what was happening, everything went black.

The hairpin her mother left her is dirty!

Upon hearing Ying Yufu's words, Shangguan Tang's expression also froze.

Ying Yufu looked at Shishu sympathetically and comforted her, "Aunt Shishu, don't worry, it will definitely be clean."

Poetry and books: "..."

Even if she washes it again, it's still been touched by that man.

Poetry and books make me want to cry, but I have no tears.

If I had known, I would have preferred not to find it at all.

Even if you can't find it, there's still hope.

Unlike now, it's not like that, which is filled with despair.

The man opposite him changed his expression immediately when he saw his hairpin being taken away.

His narrow, fox-like eyes narrowed, shooting out a sharp glint, and he said:

"Young lady, are you also from some wealthy family? Your impetuousness suggests you may be interested in me?"

"That's right, Ying Yufu, do you perhaps have feelings for my cousin?" a voice immediately followed.

Xu Lingyi walked in with a large group of maids, her face full of condescending smiles.

"Ying Yufu, His Majesty has already dissolved your engagement with the Second Prince, your father has been demoted to the rank of Earl, and your maternal grandfather's family is about to be dealt with by His Majesty. Are you so eager to find a way out for yourself?"

If you really like my uncle, I can act as a matchmaker for you two.

As Xu Lingyi spoke, she covered her mouth and giggled.

clap clap!

A figure flashed in front of Xu Lingyi and slapped her twice across the face.

Xu Lingyi didn't even see who hit her before her cheeks started burning with pain.

"Sister Wushuang, how could you hit her?"

Ying Yufu's expression changed drastically.

Wushuang was taken aback.

"What if you get your hands dirty?" Ying Yufu stepped forward, took Wushuang's hand, and felt very sorry for her.

Wushuang stared blankly at the little girl in front of her.

She wasn't doing it on purpose for the girl across from her who was speaking rudely; she genuinely felt that way.

Ying Yufu examined Wushuang's hands, which were covered in calluses from martial arts training, proving that she truly lived up to her reputation as the peerless female general from the dream.

With five thousand soldiers, they nearly wiped out a force of thirty thousand feathered soldiers.

"The Xue family is still in exile, and you've already taken on the role of the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Anqing's household. It seems Miss Xu has a very short memory!"

The Crown Prince said.

Xu Lingyi's expression immediately changed.

What does the Crown Prince mean by that? Does he mean she is heartless and ungrateful?

No, she couldn't let herself be burdened with such a reputation, otherwise, what would her grandmother think of her?

"Your Highness, my daughter did not see that Your Highness was here. I apologize for any offense caused."

"The last person I forgave will soon be going back to be punished. Does Miss Xu want that too?"

Xu Lingyi bit her lower lip tightly, looking aggrieved.

"Your Highness, has my granddaughter offended you with her words? If she has made a mistake, my health can still withstand it, and I am willing to take the punishment on her behalf."

The old lady of the Marquis of Anqing's mansion arrived with a group of maids and servants.
