After Qitian Yu finished speaking, Gu Qingluan asked with a cool smile, “Do you want me to forget about the past?”

Qitian Yu quickly nodded, “Yes, you and the head of the Gu family are biological father and daughter. There shouldn’t be any long-standing grudges. As long as you’re willing to come back, the head of the Gu family will definitely welcome you.”

He thought that Gu Qingluan had been persuaded by his words.

Suddenly, Gu Qingluan asked, “Can you represent Gu Zhicheng’s thoughts? What authority do you have to be a mediator?”

Qitian Yu replied, “We grew up together as childhood friends, so naturally, I want to help you. As for the head of the Gu family… he has regretted kicking you out of the Gu family a long time ago.”

“How can the Fifth Prince utter those words without blushing?” Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow.

Qitian Yu furrowed his brows, “Qingluan, what do you mean by that?”

…..

“You’re disguising yourself as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Previously, you would eagerly avoid me whenever we crossed paths. Now, out of the blue, you assert that you’re here to assist me. Naturally, 1 will be skeptical of your true intentions.”

Qitian Yu grew furious, “Qingluan, I know you’re still holding a grudge against me, but how could you misunderstand me like this? You should know what kind of person I am. Others might not know, but you do, don’t you?”

Back then, Gu Qingluan was crazy about him!

He believed that he was perfect in her eyes!

“Hmph!” Gu Qingluan sneered, her pitch-black eyes gleaming with coldness. “Have the events from five years ago completely slipped your mind?”

“The events from five years ago… Didn’t we agree not to mention them anymore?” Qitian Yu felt a sudden unease as he met Gu Qingluan’s gaze.

“Why shouldn’t we mention them? Only those with guilty consciences would avoid facing them!” Gu Qingluan slammed her teacup onto the table with a loud noise.

The sudden sound startled everyone in the hall.

Qitian Yu covered his eyes. To suppress his guilty conscience, he raised his voice and accused, “Why are you speaking in such a sarcastic manner? I’m not mentioning it out of respect for you. Back then, you did something that brought shame to our family’s reputation. As your fiance, i lost all my dignity! If anyone should feel guilty, it’s you. Why are you so angry?”

Hot tea splashed onto his face.

“Ah!” Qitian Yu let out a painful scream as he jumped up from his chair.

“You madwoman! How dare you attempt to harm this prince!”

“Fifth Prince, are you alright?” Gu Zhixin was also taken aback and quickly stood up, handing him a handkerchief to wipe his face.

Feng Yuanxi, who was hiding outside the main entrance, saw the Fifth Prince insulting his mother and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He flicked his fingers, releasing a surge of arcane power.

Gu Qingluan sensed the fluctuation of arcane power and glanced toward the doorway.

She caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing and guessed who was hiding outside but chose not to expose him.

Qitian Yu was wiping his face when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his neck, causing him to involuntarily cry out in pain.

“Ah, it’s bleeding!” Gu Zhixin exclaimed, but then he scolded Gu Qingluan, “You can be rude to our family, but how could you harm the Fifth Prince? Do you not understand the Fifth Prince’s status? Quickly apologize to the Fifth Prince!”

Gu Qingluan, playing with the empty cup in her hand, lightly flicked her wrist upon hearing his words.

The teacup flew in a parabolic arc and smashed onto Gu Zhixin’s forehead.

Gu Zhixin staggered backward and fell to the ground. The teacup shattered with a loud crash.

“Apologies, my hand slipped.” Gu Qingluan lowered her gaze, looking at the bloodied Gu Zhixin, and said indifferently.

Qitian Yu witnessed the miserable state of Gu Zhixin and felt a chill run down his spine.

He overheard people saying that Gu Qingluan had changed, becoming violent at the slightest provocation, but he always thought it was an exaggeration. Now, he deeply realized–

This woman was simply insane!

Amidst the shock, anger filled his heart.

As a person of noble status, he had never endured such humiliation.

Who did she think she was, Gu Qingluan!

She dared to splash hot tea on him!

“Gu Qingluan! You’re audacious! Do you know that by disrespecting your superiors, this prince can easily throw you into prison!”

Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but laugh, “Thanks for the reminder. Since punishment is inevitable, why not commit the offense multiple times?”

As she finished speaking, a sharp and oppressive aura emanated from her..
