, I can only disown you!”

This was the first time that Qiao Jinniang was a little disappointed with her father.
“Father, am I such a stupid and greedy person in your eyes?”

When Duke Anyuan saw the sadness in Qiao Jinniang’s eyes, he suddenly felt guilty.

When Qiao Jinniang was born, he was only seventeen.
At that time, his playmates were all young men, and he needed an heir to show his maturity when he inherited the position of Duke.

At that time, he had not yet had the sense of responsibility of being a father, nor did he know that his childhood sweetheart he grew up with would hurt his daughter like that.

When he saw Qiao Jinniang again, he was so full of guilt that he didn’t dare to face her.

Seeing the disappointment in her eyes, the Duke felt even more guilty.
“I’m sorry, Jinniang, I should have trusted you.
I’ll definitely find out who spread this rumor.”

Qiao Jinniang saluted.
“Thank you, Father.”

Seeing Qiao Jinniang leave, Qiao Ruoyi wanted to follow, but then she hesitated and said to the Duke, “Dad, Second Sister has suffered a lot of grievances.
Sister Ruoyun often says that she is to blame for the suffering of Second Sister, but I think you’re the one to blame for that!”

Duke Anyuan wanted to refute, but couldn’t find a word to refute.

After Qiao Ruoyi said that, she followed Qiao Jinniang to comfort her.

They met Qiao Ruoshui on the way to the Jin Garden.

Qiao Jinniang thought she would hear Qiao Ruoshui’s sarcasm, but she didn’t.

Qiao Ruoshui just looked at her with sympathy.

Qiao Jinniang frowned, feeling surprised.
It was strange that Qiao Ruoshui didn’t take the chance to taunt her when she had such a big scandal.

“Second Miss, Fourth Miss, Fifth Miss, an imperial decree has arrived.
Madam told you to quickly change clothes to receive the decree.”

Hearing it, Qiao Jinniang frowned.
Was it the imperial decree about making her Lu Chen’s concubine?

If so, would her family be executed if she refused to accept the imperial decree?

In Prince Mediocre Mansion.

Qiao Ruofeng looked at the handsome man in front of her with blushing cheeks and said, “Your Highness, I’ve already spread the news that Qiao Jinniang seduced you according to your instructions, and everyone is talking about this news now.”

Prince Mediocre smiled with satisfaction.
No matter how stupid Qiao Ruofeng was, she could still help him.

This rumor was spread by the family of Qiao Jinniang’s second uncle, so the public would definitely believe that Qiao Jinniang had seduced him.
By now Qiao Jinniang’s reputation had been ruined, so Duke Anyuan would definitely agree to marry Qiao Jinniang off to him as his concubine.

Otherwise, which man in Chang’an would marry a woman whose reputation had been ruined?

Although Qiao Ruoyi would be a concubine of the crown prince, she was no match for Xie Yun and would be of no use to Duke Anyuan.

But Qiao Jinniang was born by the Duchess and was very favored by her.

As long as Qiao Jinniang gave birth to his eldest son, Duke Anyuan would definitely be his helper in the court.

“Ruofeng, you did a great job.”

Qiao Ruofeng looked up at the prince who was nine years older than her.
This was the man she had fallen in love with ever since she was thirteen years old.

“Thank you for your praise, Your Highness.
I’m already an adult.
Now my parents want to find me a husband.
I wonder when you will…”

Prince Mediocre said to Qiao Ruofeng, “I’ve always treated you as my younger sister.
I’ll find a good husband for you.
Don’t worry.”

“Sister?” When Qiao Ruofeng heard this word, she felt as if being doused with a basin of cold water.

“Your Highness, do you forget that you said you would marry me as your wife in Luoyang? Are our affection over the years fake?”

Prince Mediocre said, “Ruofeng, I did want to marry you as my concubine, but now your family has been separated from Duke Anyuan Mansion.
You are no longer a noble, so how can I marry you? What makes you think you’re worthy of being my concubine?”

Qiao Ruofeng felt a pain in her heart and almost blacked out in anger.
