Chapter 53 The Truth
Fang Yukun did not dare to disobey his father's wishes, so he walked to the bride who was covered with veil, handed a cup of tea to her and said, "My lady, thank you for your help."

The bride's expression could not be seen clearly because of the veil, but when Fang Yukun was about to hold the bride's hand, he struggled to pull his hand away, lowered his head, groped his way through the gap in the red veil, and came to Wang An, silently handing him the teacup.

Wang An did not answer it, but smiled and asked, "What's the bride's name?"

The bride did not answer, but Fangshan did: "My daughter-in-law's surname is Gao and her name is Ruyue. She is the daughter of the former Minister of Works."

Wang An was delighted, realizing that he had found the right person.

Turning his gaze to Gao Ruyue again, Wang An opened the lid of the tea and took a sip, then whispered, "Miss Gao, I was entrusted by your old servant to come and save you."

Wang An saw Gao Ruyue's body tremble obviously, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Your Highness is thoughtful, but I can't leave."

Wang An frowned and whispered, "Could it be that you were not forced, but married Fang Yukun voluntarily?"

Gao Ruyue's body trembled even more violently, and she could faintly hear sobs while speaking, "The Fang family has connections in Jingzhou City, so it won't be difficult for me to leave. Besides, even if the prince can take me away, where else can a woman of any age go?"

"In the end, it will still fall into Fang Yukun's hands. Fang Yukun even threatened me that if I don't marry him, Uncle Fu and the others will be killed. I really can't bear to implicate innocent people."

"So that's how it is. What a kind-hearted girl." Wang An showed an admiring look on his face and comforted her: "No one in Jinzhou City can stop me from taking the people I want to take away. As for the comfort of your servants, you can rest assured. You can move to Jizhou City to live."

"Jizhou is my fiefdom. No one can do anything to you in Jizhou."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Ruyue pulled off the red veil on her head, looked at Wang An with excitement and asked, "Are you serious, Your Majesty?"

Wang An chuckled and said, "How can it be fake? Why would I lie to a girl like you?"

Gao Ruyue immediately knelt down excitedly, grabbed Wang An's trouser legs and said, "Please save me, Your Majesty!"

However, this scene left all the guests stunned.

From their perspective, they only saw Wang An and the bride getting very close and whispering very ambiguously. Then Gang Ruyue tore off her veil and knelt in front of Wang An, begging Wang An to save her.

What's happening here?
Everyone was confused, only Fangshan and his son guessed something.

Fang Yukun became even more furious. He strode to Gao Ruyue and reached out to grab her.

He even yelled, "Little bitch, why don't you give up even at this point?"

"Think about those old servants in your family. They have been with your father all their lives. Do you want to watch them die in Jingzhou?"

Gao Ruyue trembled with fear when she heard this.

Wang An's face turned cold and he directly slapped away Fang Yukun's outstretched hand.

Fang Yukun was stunned and cast a cold gaze at Wang An.

"Your Highness Prince Xin, what do you want to do?"

Goodnight sneered and said, "Isn't it obvious what I want to do?"

Good night, he turned to look at the guests and said, "Everyone, I have heard that Miss Gao Ruyue is famous in Jingzhou. She is virtuous and gentle. There is no young man who would not want to marry her."

"But such an outstanding lady actually agreed to marry Fang Yukun. I have heard of Fang Yukun's name even though I am in Jizhou. How can he be a good match for Miss Gao?"

"And you have all heard just now that Miss Gao asked me to save her and wanted to graduate. You have also heard that Master Fang threatened Miss Gao, right?" "What is the inside story here? Don't you understand?"

After the welcome was given, a burst of intense discussion suddenly broke out in the venue.

Gao Ruyue is beautiful and kind-hearted, and her beauty surpasses all other beauties.

Her ancestors had been officials for generations, and by the time of her father's generation, there were only a few descendants, with her as the only daughter.

But it is also a respectable gentry family and a family of scholars. As Gao Ruyue is the only daughter, she is naturally a respectable lady.

He is handsome, talented, and born into a good family, so naturally there are countless people who want to marry him.

On the other hand, although Fang Yukun's father Fang Shangui is a high-ranking official, Fang Yukun himself is uneducated and unskilled. He bullies men and women all day long, indulges in women, and has no moral character.

How could a lady from a noble family like Gao Ruyue voluntarily marry Fang Yukun?

In fact, privately, everyone speculated that Fang Yukun had resorted to some trickery to force Gao Ruyue to agree to marry him.

However, the person involved did not come out to confirm it, so the powerful people in Jinzhou City could only discuss it in private.

At this time, looking at the performance of Gao Ruyue and Fang Yukun, it was clear what was going on.

Although everyone was intimidated by Fang Shan's power and didn't dare to say anything directly to his face, they all looked at Fang Yukun with contempt.

Especially those rich young men who once had a crush on Gao Ruyue, this time they looked at Fang Yukun with hostility.

Fang Yukun panicked when he heard this, pointing at Wang An and saying, "Don't spit blood at me. Ruyue and I are in love with each other, it's not like you said it was forced at all."

Wang An curled his lips slightly and sneered, "Since we are in love, how can Miss Gao ask me to save her when she gets rich?"

Wan An said as he reached out to help Gao Ruyue up, saying, "Please tell me the truth, Miss Gao!"

Seeing Gao Ruyue hesitate again, Wan An encouraged her, "With me here, just speak the truth boldly."

Just when Gao Ruyue was about to tell the truth in public, Fang Shan finally couldn't sit still anymore and shouted, "Although His Royal Highness Prince Xin is of noble status, there is no reason for him to suddenly disrupt my son's wedding banquet!"

Then he turned to look at Gao Ruyue and said in a cold tone: "Ruyue, today is a great day for you and Kun'er. In front of all the distinguished guests from Jingzhou City, you have to think carefully before you speak!"

Goodnight sneered and said, "What do you mean by making trouble? I am just seeing injustice!"

At the same time, he looked at Gao Ruyue and said, "Do you know why I suddenly came to save you?"

Gao Ruyue was also confused about this, but the situation was urgent and she didn't have time to ask.

Now that Wang An brought it up, his curiosity was immediately aroused.

Seeing Gao Ruyue shaking her head, Wan An sighed and said, "I was originally going to look for your father, but when I arrived at your house, I was shocked to hear the news of your father's death. When your old servant learned of my identity, he knelt before me and kowtowed nine times, begging me to save you!"

"I was unwilling to intervene in this matter, but I was moved by your old servant's devotion to the Lord and came to help."
