Gu Ruanruan was originally prepared to accept the family law, but this time, after Prime Minister Gu lectured her, he actually asked her to go back to her room to rest.

So when she opened the door and heard Gu Baiyu asking her to go to the warehouse to count the dowry, she felt for a moment as if she was dreaming.

She had been fighting for so long, but Gu Baiyu actually gave in so easily?

The surprise came so suddenly that Gu Ruanruan took several seconds to digest it.

Gu Baiyu did not rush her and stood at the door of Gu Ruan Ruan's room, still looking dignified and calm.

"Sister...are you serious?"

Gu Baiyu lowered his eyes: "I didn't mean to lie on this matter. Just think of it as taking care of the overall situation. Remember what dad said, don't get involved with the second prince's party anymore."

When Gu Baiyu said this, she seemed to be afraid of Gu Ruanruan, which made Gu Ruanruan relax his vigilance, thinking that his family was really afraid of her.

There was even some pride in my heart.

The key to the Gu family's warehouse has always been in the hands of Mrs. Gu. Because the old couple loves their daughter, most of the valuable collections in the family were taken away according to the dowry.

Gu Baiyu had already counted his own before and wanted to give some away, but Mrs. Gu refused and asked her to pick some again.

It's just that the family's concession didn't seem to make Gu Ruanruan feel grateful.

In the warehouse, Lingyu held a lamp aside, and the weak light fell on the treasures in the warehouse.

Many of these things are difficult for ordinary people to see in their lifetime.

But Gu Ruanruan obviously felt that it was not enough.

Her eyes were critical, and she felt that these things were not even worth the price of Gu Baiyu's dowry.

There was also some disgust in his tone: "Sister, is this all there is?"

Gu Baiyu said in a good temper: "What else do you want?"

Gu Ruanruan said: "Why do I feel that such a thing is so unappealing compared to my sister's dowry..."

Hearing that she wanted to compare herself with herself, Gu Baiyu became angry: "My mother also prepared a generous dowry for you, but you don't cherish it."

"So what? It's my mother who doesn't treat me as her own! If you were the one who caused the trouble, no matter how angry I am, I won't treat you like this. In the end, I may say nice things, but I still don't care in my heart. I regard myself as one of my own..."

When Gu Baiyu heard this, he was shocked.

"You said that my mother didn't treat you as my own? Don't you feel guilty for saying this?"

Gu Ruan Ruan You was trying to show off his strength: "That's what it is!"

"Then who is your biological child? You can go find him."

Gu Baiyu said calmly: "Don't forget, the mother prepares the dowry for your daughter's family. Since you are not your mother's biological mother, then go to your biological mother to ask for the dowry."

"By the way, you can choose the things here, because these all belong to your father. He is your biological father, right?"

Gu Ruanruan's face turned blue and white.

Yes, how could she forget that Prime Minister Gu was an upright official, and Mrs. Gu actually owned the majority of the family's property.

There is no way, who made Mrs. Gu the daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan?

For such a large prime minister's house, although Prime Minister Gu's salary is not low, most of the house's income actually comes from the property in Mrs. Gu's dowry.

She had been quick to talk for a while, but now she had really shot herself in the foot!

But is Gu Ruanruan the kind of character who can be subdued?

"Sister, I don't think you are sincere in organizing the dowry for me. Are you calling me here to humiliate me? Prove that your birth is better than mine?"

Gu Baiyu shook his head, he simply didn’t want to say another word to her!

What does it mean to say more than half a sentence without speculation?

This is!

"Lingyu, give her the account book, let's go back and rest."

"Don't leave! Make it clear!"

Gu Ruanruan reached out to pull Gu Baiyu's clothes, but the next second, a black shadow suddenly appeared and violently opened Gu Ruanruan's hand!

"what!"

Before Gu Ruanruan could react, another black shadow had already arrived in front of Gu Ruanruan and lightly clasped her knee——

With a "pop", Gu Ruanruan was forced to kneel on the ground and was held down by two men in black who suddenly appeared.

"who are you?!"

Gu Ruanruan was shocked and angry: "This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, what are you going to do?"

The two men in black didn't even look at Gu Ruanruan. One of them suddenly clasped his fist at Gu Baiyu: "I was ordered by the Marquis to protect Miss Gu. I wonder how Miss Gu will deal with this person?"

In fact, even Gu Baiyu himself did not expect that the secret guards sent by Gu Yanlin would take action at this time.

After Gu Baiyu heard about their identities, she struggled even more fiercely: "I am the second young lady of the Gu family, are you crazy? - The Marquis asked you to protect my sister, what are you going to do to me?!"

However, the two secret guards seemed to have ignored her words.

However, Gu Baiyu felt a little moved: "What did your Lord Marquis actually say?"

The secret guard still looked respectful. The tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "The Marquis said that his subordinates should ensure the safety of Miss Gu. Anyone who is harmful to Miss Gu, regardless of status, distance or distance, will be captured and obey Miss Gu's arrangements."

"What if the status of the person who is unfavorable to me today is respected?"

"My subordinates are only responsible for protecting Miss Gu's safety. Even though I have a noble status, the Marquis has said that he will protect Miss Gu."

This means that no matter who touches Gu Baiyu, even if the King of Heaven comes, the secret guards will protect Gu Baiyu at all costs.

Gu Baiyu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Even though he had guessed this outcome, when he heard the secret guard tell Gu Yanlin's arrangement, Gu Baiyu still felt a warm current flowing from his heart to his limbs.

It turns out that this is how it feels to be cared for and protected at all costs.

Gu Baiyu's lips curved into a very obvious smile.

Such a smile rarely even appeared on her face, at least when she was in front of outsiders, she shouldn't be like this.

But she couldn't control it, or in other words, she hoped that when the secret guard reported to Gu Yanlin, this smile would make Gu Yanlin smile.

All the unpleasantness at Gu Ruanruan's place just now seemed to have disappeared with the words of the secret guard.

"Oh, I see."

Gu Ruanruan, who had been listening to their conversation, stopped struggling.

The secret guard's words just now made her a little dazed, and she even forgot to struggle.

Living in this era where class and power are paramount, Gu Ruanruan understands better than Gu Baiyu how shocking what Gu Yanlin's secret guard said just now.

It turned out that Gu Yanlin loved Gu Baiyu, and this love even transcended classes. In other words, in Gu Yanlin's heart, no royal status, no power and wealth could compare to Gu Baiyu's safety.

After the initial shock, endless extreme and regret flashed in Gu Ruanruan's eyes.

Is this the reason why Gu Baiyu must marry Gu Yanlin?

Is the man she likes really better than her?
