"You are truly wicked! It's a pity your scheme has failed! I was wondering why you would be so kind as to help me; so this is the truth!"
After realizing what was happening, Gao Changhong angrily cursed.
Mo Hanyu was completely oblivious to Gao Changhong's reaction; she was simply overwhelmed by a profound sense of loss and resentment.
Such a good opportunity! That unfilial son should have been ruined, so how could he have broken through his own limits?
Although Mo Hanyu is not Gao Yuanbin's mother, the two have been secretly competing for many years. She actually understands Gao Yuanbin's personality very well, even better than Gao Changhong.
She just couldn't understand how someone like Gao Yuanbin could be willing to accept another woman.
Meanwhile, to their surprise, Gao Yuanbin was hiding on their roof and overheard their conversation.
"Ha, so this is what you were plotting against me for!"
A cold, sharp smile curled at the corner of Gao Yuanbin's lips, his eyes brimming with a storm.
Although this brought him and Yan'er together, he was not grateful to Mo Hanyu and the others. After all, if he hadn't been so lucky to meet Yan'er, wouldn't he have been ruined?
With that thought, he quietly disappeared from the rooftop again.

"Que Ling, are you sure all the noble ladies of the capital will go to Peach Blossom Mountain to admire the chrysanthemums on the fifteenth of this month?"
Another luxurious and beautiful courtyard in the Regent's Palace was brightly lit, with exquisite lanterns hanging in the corridors.
The candlelight illuminated the figure of a beautiful, slender woman in the room, who was questioning the maid beside her in a fierce tone.
"Princess, this is what I've heard. It seems that quite a few noble young men will be attending this time. I heard... I heard it's a banquet to facilitate the young men and women to meet and find each other."
As the maid spoke, she secretly glanced at Gao Yufei's expression.
Ever since Gao Yufei returned from Daliang, her reputation has been poor, especially after she embarrassed herself at the two banquets held at the Prince's Mansion, which made her reputation even worse.
Even though she is the legitimate daughter of the Regent, many sons of officials in the Northern Desert still avoid her in private, and no one wants to associate with her.
Today, she happened to go shopping and ran into several daughters of officials buying jewelry. She overheard them talking about the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet in autumn, which was in two weeks. She wondered why she hadn't been invited.
After making some inquiries, she discovered that almost all the famous unmarried women in the Northern Desert had wedding invitations, but she was the only one who didn't, which made her really angry.
"How outrageous! Who organized this banquet? They didn't even send me an invitation! If I find out, I'll skin them alive!"
Gao Yufei's angry face twisted as she slammed her hand heavily on the table.
The maid standing nearby was so frightened that she held her breath and dared not make a sound.
At this moment, Gao Yuanbin, who was squatting on the roof, sneered, "Destroying you today can be considered doing justice for Heaven, so you won't go around harming people!"
Then, he pulled a thin tube from his sleeve and blew a puff of sleeping powder into the room.
Gao Yufei, who was still about to curse inside the room, quickly rolled her eyes and fainted.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Gao Yuanbin carried Gao Yufei, scaling walls and passing through dark alleys, eventually leading her into a brothel frequented by men.
"Anyway, you've never been a self-respecting person. You'll have to pay for the sins your mother committed!"
Gao Yuanbin looked at the unconscious Gao Yufei and said coldly.
He knew that Gao Yufei had changed a lot since she returned from Daliang. To vent her anger, she had been keeping many male lovers in private.
In some cases, she even forcibly abducted men who were already married.
She resented her ruined reputation and the fact that no one would propose to her anymore, but she didn't think about what kind of person she really was.
Now that he's thrown her into this brothel, he's just showing the world her true colors!

The next day.
Gao Yufei woke up exhausted from her bed, feeling as if her body had been dismembered and her bones were being torn apart.
"Someone come here!"
She called out lazily, but no one answered for a moment. She could only prop herself up on her elbows and sit up, but what she did when she stood up stunned her.
"Ah! Who are you! Who allowed you to be here!"
Gao Yufei screamed.
Inside the room, seven or eight men of different appearances lay sprawled out, all naked, a truly appalling sight.
She looked down at herself again, her body covered in red marks, with hardly any spot left unmarked.
"Girl, you called us here, you told us to serve you well!"
"Yes, young lady, we were exhausted last night. Are you satisfied? Your people said that if you are, we'll receive a reward today!"
"Young lady, don't forget, including yesterday's fee, you owe us a total of six hundred and eighty-one taels of silver today!"
......
The men laughed and asked her for money, but Gao Yufei, seeing this unfamiliar environment, broke down and screamed. She then threw on some clothes and ran outside.
Soon, news spread throughout the capital that Gao Yufei had spent the night at Nanfeng Pavilion, had sex with seven men in one night, and had done it for free without paying.
In the end, Gao Yufei was still taken back from Nanfeng Pavilion by Gao Changhong with a dark expression.
"Waaah... Father, I've been framed! I've been framed! I was just staying home obediently yesterday, and when I woke up, I don't know why I'm like this!"
Inside the Prince's Mansion.
Gao Yufei cried uncontrollably, repeatedly proclaiming that she was wronged.
Because, after Gao Changhong brought her back, he whipped her severely.
"Harm? Then tell me who harmed you? You secretly kept male lovers after you came back, and I didn't say anything to you. But you actually went to Nanfeng Pavilion openly. Do you think your reputation isn't bad enough already?"
Gao Changhong scolded him, exasperated.
"Waaah, Father, I'm truly innocent! I do keep male concubines, but I'm not capable of sleeping with seven men in one night! Someone is trying to frame me!"
Gao Yufei cried so hard she was on the verge of a breakdown.
She knew someone was definitely trying to harm her, but she didn't know who it was.
"Feifei! What's wrong with you?"
Just then, Mo Hanyu suddenly ran over from the corridor in a panic.
Seeing the marks on Gao Yufei's body from Gao Changhong's whip, she felt heartbroken and immediately ran over to hug her.
"Gao Changhong! What are you trying to do to Feifei? She's your only daughter!"
Mo Hanyu angrily questioned him.
"How did the princess get out? Who let her out?"
Gao Changhong did not answer her question, but instead coldly questioned the servants around him.
At this moment, Gao Yuanbin hid in a corner, watching all of this with a cold smile.
That's right, he deliberately arranged for someone to give Mo Hanyu the opportunity to sneak out.
How could I not let her know about such a great thing?
