Chapter 588 Do You Think You’re Amazing Now That You’ve Managed To Get the First Prince To Back You Up?

The Earl of Ding’an paced back and forth in the courtyard uneasily.

Gu Zixiao came out of the main hall first with Zhuang Ruoyun following behind him.

The Earl of Ding’an quickly went up to him. “Your Highness, are you going back? Aren’t you going to sit for a while longer? This subject has ordered the kitchen to prepare food. You can…”

“There’s no need.” Before he could finish, Gu Zixiao interrupted him calmly.

He said seriously, “There are still trivial matters in the palace, so I won’t delay any longer. Moreover, I’m only here to visit Miss Zhuang today. I’m afraid that because of what happened last time, the relationship in your manor will become stiff.”

The Earl of Ding’an was stunned. He rubbed his hands and laughed dryly. “How can that be? Ruoyun has been straightforward since she was young. As her father, I can show her tolerance.”

Zhuang Ruoyun lowered her head and didn’t say anything. Gu Zixiao only smiled.

He walked towards the entrance of the manor, with the Earl of Ding’an and Zhuang Ruoyun following behind him.

Just as Gu Zixiao was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and looked at Zhuang Ruoyun. “If you face any other problems, go to the government office. There’ll be people there who can stand up for you.”

Zhuang Ruoyun quickly nodded.

Only then did the first prince take his leave.

The moment he left, Earl of Ding’an’s smiling face completely pulled down.

“What did you complain to His Highness about? You unfilial daughter, you still want to go to the government office to sue us?!”

Zhuang Ruoyun raised her neck, not afraid of him at all.

“You guys beat me up. When the first prince saw this, he asked if I was punished. I merely told the truth. Why is Father angry? Didn’t you say that you would show tolerance to me?”

“You!—” The Earl of Ding’an was furious.

He immediately called for a servant. “Go get a rod. I’ll beat this unfilial daughter to death today and pretend that I’ve never given birth to this daughter!”

Zhuang Ruoyun immediately called out, “His Highness hasn’t gone far yet. I’ll call him back now. If Father is so capable, go and tell His Highness!”

After saying that, Zhuang Ruoyun shouted loudly, “Your Highness—!”

The Earl of Ding’an panicked. “Don’t shout, don’t shout!”

In the end, he told the servant not to go and stomped his feet anxiously. “Zhuang Ruoyun! What exactly do you want?!”

Did she think highly of herself just because Was she amazing just because she had managed to get the first prince as her backing?

Zhuang Ruoyun stopped talking and looked back at him. “I just don’t want to be beaten up anymore. If Father can do it, I won’t go to the government office to cause trouble! Otherwise, I’m not afraid of looking bad, but I’m afraid that you’ll be punished like Second Sister!”

The Earl of Ding’an was so angry that his heart ached. “Unfilial daughter! You unfilial daughter!”

Zhuang Ruoyun was puzzled. “I don’t understand. Second Sister used such a despicable method to frame Her Highness. When she was exposed, Father didn’t blame her for not being clear-headed. Instead, you blamed me for not helping her hide it.

“Would Her Highness not pursue the matter if I help her hide it? I’m afraid that at that time, Second Sister and I will both be punished! If we can’t be honest and upright but harbor evil plans, no one can help us!”

After saying that, Zhuang Ruoyun turned around and left.

This left the Earl of Ding’an so angry that his liver hurt.

How did this daughter grow up to become like this after being thrown to the countryside for a few years?!

It must be that the nanny who took care of her didn’t teach her well!

Zhuang Ruoyun quickly walked towards her courtyard.

She felt relaxed and even more grateful to Gu Zixiao.

She had just asked the first prince to put in a word for her. It was fine even if it was fake. It was enough for him to let her use her authority on pretense.

After all, to deal with the Earl of Ding’an’s family, one had to have strong power to make them afraid.

Zhuang Ruoyun took a hard-boiled egg from the kitchen.

She sat by the pond and bathed in the water, gently rubbing the egg on her swollen cheek while using the water as a mirror.

She thought of Gu Zixiao’s expression and words just now.

She couldn’t help but sigh. “His Highness is such a nice person.”

At the very least, he wasn’t like what the nanny had said at all. He was completely different from those unreasonable Young Masters in the capital.
