37 She Would Not Want To Be A Scapegoat! (1/2)

Gu Xijiu looked towards the direction where the sound had originated and vaguely saw a youth hidden behind one of the pearled-curtains of the largest room on the second floor. As soon as he had finished his sentence, the pearled-curtains in front of him were rolled up and his face could clearly be seen by Gu Xijiu.

There was no denying the fact that the Rong family possessed a strong DNA in their genes because every prince was very good looking.

He seemed to be in his twenties and had a similar look to Rong Che’s, though he was not as fascinating and gentle as him. Instead, he had a rather sharp and calm look. He was wearing a black robe with a dark colored dragon embroidered onto it and though he was doing nothing, he seemed to carry an aura of someone who held a high-ranking status.

Rong Yan was stupefied for a moment before he quickly rushed out, knelt outside the room of the crown prince and saluted him. He said, ”Your Highness, I’m sorry that I was not able to give my respects to you sooner as I was not aware that you were already here. I’m really sorry for that…”

The prince did not give Rong Yan permission to stand up. Instead, he spoke in an indifferent voice, ”Oh, no worries, I was just preparing to give you some space here…”

Rong Yan was shocked and kept saying, ”I dare not.” He also kept on apologizing and had even dispraised himself during their conversation.

While they were in the middle of their conversation, the two Gu sisters had walked over to present their respects to the crown prince.

When the crown prince, Rong Jialuo, did not respond to Rong Yan even after he had apologized, Rong Yan became slightly impatient. After a moment, Rong Jialuo asked, ”Who are these two ladies?”

Rong Yan was shocked that the two sisters had kowtowed till they had become dizzy. When they heard the crown prince’s question, Gu Tianyi replied quickly, ”Your Highness, both of us are…”

As soon as she had started, Rong Yan quickly interrupted by saying, ”Your Highness, both ladies are the daughters of General Gu and they had tagged along with me in the hopes of gaining some new experience. I’m sorry if they had been too naïve and had hurt you, my Highness…” Rong Yan apologized a few more times so that he could skip the part of introducing them further in detail.

”The daughters of the Gu family?” He spoke in a neutral voice, ”Is your wife-to-be, the sixth Gu daughter, present here with us today?”
