Chapter 2029: Miserable Fiancée vs. Prestigious Family’s Daughter (Part 64)

Most people focused their gaze on Gu Shengyin.

Quite a few people secretly glanced back and forth between Gu Shengyin and Chen Mingzhu; it seemed that Miss Chen from the Marquis Mingyi’s Mansion had come with ill intentions.

Could it be that the County Princess Si Fang and the Marquis Mingyi’s Mansion have an old grudge?

Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Shengyin remained completely still. Hearing Chen Mingzhu’s words, she didn’t even blink and calmly finished the tea in her cup.

After placing the cup back on the table beside her, she finally raised her head and set her eyes on Chen Mingzhu’s face.

Everyone looked at the composed Gu Shengyin and then at the somewhat agitated Chen Mingzhu, each calculating in their minds.

The difference was immediately apparent.

The Lady of the Marquis Mingyi felt uneasy the moment her daughter spoke, but even if she wanted to intervene, she couldn’t stop her impulsive daughter.

At this moment, she was also extremely annoyed.

Had she known that Ming Zhu was so impulsive, she would have pretended she was ill rather than bring her here.

Gu Shengyin’s lips curled into a smile devoid of warmth as she looked at Chen Mingzhu: "Apparently, I didn’t know that somehow, I gained an additional brother?"

Seeing her calm demeanor, Chen Mingzhu felt a pang of unease in her heart, thinking perhaps she had been deceived by that man called Chang Fei.

Since being frustrated by Gu Shengyin, Chen Mingzhu had been contemplating a way to harm Gu Shengyin without implicating herself.

However, Gu Shengyin always kept a low profile and never did anything that could be criticized, making it hard for Chen Mingzhu to find an opportunity.

She had people from the Marquis Mingyi’s Mansion secretly watching the County’s Mansion, and when Shi Yunfei was thrown out, they happened to witness it.

Recalling the instructions from their eldest young lady, the people from Marquis Mingyi’s Mansion brought Shi Yunfei back to their mansion.

When Chang Fei saw the people from Marquis Mingyi’s Mansion, he was terrified. He had never seen such a display of power and status from the prominent families in the capital.

When asked about the Chang Family by Chen Mingzhu, Shi Yunfei naturally dared not mention his previous disgrace of abandoning the Chang Family due to greed for wealth and now wanting to cling to them but being rejected.

Moreover, Chen Mingzhu did not conceal her clear malice towards the Chang Family, which Shi Yunfei easily discerned.

Being someone who tailored his words according to the audience, Shi Yunfei quickly figured out what to do when faced with Chen Mingzhu.

Thus, in Shi Yunfei’s account, he became the adopted son abandoned by the Chang Family once they prospered, portraying the Chang Family as typical examples of fostering an adopted son for future security during difficult times, only to disdain him as an outsider once successful.

Logically, one shouldn’t rely solely on one-sided stories in such situations.

Chen Mingzhu wasn’t typically impulsive; she intended to have someone thoroughly investigate this person claiming to be Chang Fei before deciding on her next move based on the findings.

Yet, upon seeing Gu Shengyin at the Prince An’s Mansion today, she felt an inexplicable urge to vent her frustration, impulsively blurting out something even she couldn’t confirm.

After speaking, witnessing Gu Shengyin’s reaction, Chen Mingzhu already somewhat regretted her impulsiveness.

Then hearing Gu Shengyin’s words, which utterly denied the existence of this brother.

Impossible!

Chen Mingzhu didn’t believe for a moment that Chang Fei truly had no relation to the Chang Family.
