After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

Nan Yuan smiled and said, "I'm sure I can answer that."

As Nan Yuan spoke, she recited word for word the book that Gu Jingheng read to her last night.

"I memorized this book when I was a kid. You can't give me a hard time."

"Yeah." Seeing her confident look, Gu Jingheng couldn't help but curl his lips and agreed with her: "What reward do you want?"

"Where should I start with my father's affairs?"

Nan Yuan originally wanted to ask Gu Jingheng to help her investigate the matter, but when the words came to her lips, she stopped. In the end, she just asked Gu Jingheng to point her in the direction and she would investigate it herself.

Gu Jingheng was a little surprised that Nan Yuan actually learned to face challenges head-on, but he was relieved. He thought that it was better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, and it would not do any harm for Nan Yuan to learn more.

"Have you asked your father? I think your father should know what happened to him."

Nan Yuan's eyes dimmed a little when she heard that. She wanted to ask about it on the day her father was imprisoned, but was interrupted by the police. After she rescued her father, she encountered the issue of the Xie family breaking off the engagement.

She originally wanted to let her father calm down first, and then she would ask about this matter after he calmed down. Unexpectedly, Gu Jingheng asked her to come to the Princess's Mansion to investigate the case. She thought that the situation here could not wait, so she came here first.

Who knew that Gu Jingheng would ask her to go back now?

"I haven't even finished reading the testimony here, and you want me to go back?" Nan Yuan looked at the confessions on the table. She had only read two-thirds of them last night, and there was still a part that she hadn't finished reading!

"Can't watch it on the road?" Gu Jingheng replied indifferently.

There is some distance between the Princess's Mansion and the Nan family, and it seems to be possible from the road.

Nan Yuan thought about it for a moment and felt that this was indeed a solution that would save a lot of time.

"All the toiletries are prepared for you. Go wash up. I'll have someone move the documents to the car." Gu Jingheng said as he called a maid to help Nan Yuan wash up.

Nan Yuan looked at Gu Jingheng's back, then looked at herself just now getting up, and wondered to herself, have she and Gu Jingheng become so close?

She couldn't help rubbing her face, forcing herself to be more awake.

Nan Yuan, Nan Yuan, are you going to fall into the same pit twice?

He cares about you now only because he hasn't got you yet. Once he gets you, it will be no different from his previous life.

Wasn't he this good to you at the beginning of your previous life? He was even much better than this. This was all a psychological strategy. Do you understand the psychological strategy?

"Miss, please come here with me." Seeing Nan Yuan standing there in a daze, the maid walked over to her and reminded her softly.

Nan Yuan came back to her senses, nodded quickly, and followed the maid to the clean room behind the screen.

Soon, Nan Yuan finished washing up.

She didn't delay and went out to find Gu Jingheng.

Gu Jingheng had already been waiting for her in the car.

Nan Yuan stepped onto the carriage. The carriage was originally very spacious, more than enough to accommodate two people. However, today, a lot of documents were carried up and a desk was placed there, so the space in the carriage seemed a bit cramped.

"What are you standing there for?" Gu Jingheng patted the seat next to him, motioning Nan Yuan to sit over.

Nan Yuan looked around and found that the side seat where she usually sat had been occupied by a desk. Even though she was as thin as a piece of paper, she couldn't sit there.

After repeated consideration, it turned out that the only seat next to Gu Jingheng could barely accommodate one more person.

"Well... I'd better sit outside." Nan Yuan said and thought about sitting on the armrest outside the carriage.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jingheng suddenly reached out and pulled her over, and she fell into his arms.

Nan Yuan was horrified, but before she could say anything, Gu Jingheng let go of her hand and put her in front of the desk.

"Just stay here and be quiet, so that others won't say that I'm abusing you." After saying this, Gu Jingheng closed his eyes.

Seeing that Gu Jingheng had no more frivolous behavior, Nan Yuan did not say anything more. She lowered her head to look at the documents on the desk. Now she should first find out who framed her father before considering other things.

The carriage swayed as it moved forward.

Gu Jingheng glanced at Nan Yuan lightly, and seeing her with her head down reading a book, he couldn't help but chuckle.

It would be great if Nan Yuan could always stay by his side like this.

Sudden--

"Uu——"

The driver tightened the reins and the carriage stopped immediately.

There was a violent shaking in the carriage, and the desk tilted forward. Nan Yuan was anxious to protect the desk and the confession on it, and accidentally fell forward with herself.

Gu Jingheng quickly grabbed Nan Yuan's shoulders and held her steady.

Nan Yuan looked at him in shock, her heart beating like a drum.

"What happened?" Gu Jingheng asked with a frown.

The driver outside said tremblingly: "Your Highness, someone is stopping the car outside."

Before Gu Jingheng could react, he heard Xie Luochen's voice.

"Cousin, I know you are here, please listen to my explanation!"

Xie Luochen patted the door of the carriage, his voice full of pleading.

"I didn't mean to break off the engagement. Cousin, there is a misunderstanding between us. Can you listen to my explanation?"

"This is the carriage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How many lives do you have to dare to delay His Royal Highness's journey?"

Xie Luochen was pulled away by the coachman, but he was still unwilling to leave and kept begging in front of the carriage.

"Cousin, can you please come out and see me?"

"I don't know why my mother suddenly came to cancel the engagement, but believe me, I will definitely convince my mother that the cancellation of the engagement is not counted, and our engagement is still in place!"

Nan Yuan was a little surprised when she heard the voice outside the carriage. She asked Yue Ran to find a way to inform Xie Luochen that Princess Xie had come to cancel the engagement.

Because she felt that Xie Luochen might not know about this matter, but she also did not expect that Xie Luochen would actually stop a car in the street and do such an outrageous thing.

Nan Yuan looked out the window with a complicated look in her eyes.

"What? Are you soft-hearted?" Gu Jingheng's voice sounded coldly. He raised his eyebrows and his tone was a little sour.

Nan Yuan came back to her senses and looked into the man's cold black eyes. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She shook her head and said, "No. I'm just a little surprised."

Gu Jingheng's expression was still grim. He didn't say anything else, but just snorted coldly to see what Nan Yuan would do next.

Nan Yuan opened the curtains and looked at Xie Luochen outside the window.

When Xie Luochen saw Nan Yuanken emerge from the carriage, his eyes suddenly lit up. He broke free from the driver who was pulling him and ran towards Nan Yuan: "Cousin, I..."

"Thank you, my lord." Nan Yuan called softly, "I know your feelings, but you should also know my difficulties."

Nan Yuan now knows that Xie Luochen does not want to cancel this marriage, but marriage is not just a matter between the two of them, it is also a matter between the Xie family and the Nan family.

No matter how much she wanted to marry into Prince Xie's Mansion, she couldn't bring shame to her father and parents. Before Xie Luochen dealt with the affairs of Prince Xie's Mansion, she would not go up to him and beg him to marry her.

Xie Luochen was also a smart man. After hearing what Nan Yuan said, he knew where the problem lay.

He looked up at Nan Yuan, held her hand, and said, "Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely convince my mother. No matter what she says, I will definitely marry you. If I can't, I would rather become a monk."

Nan Yuan was shocked by the affection in Xie Luochen's eyes. She didn't know when Xie Luochen had cared so much about her, but she still withdrew her hand.

Xie Luochen's eyes darkened and he said, "Cousin, wait for me."

After saying that, Xie Luochen turned around, mounted his horse, and rushed towards Prince Xie’s Mansion.

Nan Yuan watched Xie Luochen's figure gradually disappear, then she let down the curtain.

"Oh! You seem like a pair of star-crossed lovebirds who have been separated." Gu Jingheng's sarcastic voice sounded, with a hint of indifferent ridicule and contempt.
