After saying that, he didn’t even give Gu Chengrui a chance to speak before he ran back.
Gu Chengrui looked at his back and was a little surprised. It seemed that the Cui ladies had put a lot of effort into tricking him. Otherwise, he would not be so protective of them.
He didn’t bother to explain anymore and quickly followed him.
Yang Chenglin returned to the dining room and saw Yang Wanning, who was setting up the table, and he went forward to pull her out.
Yang Wanning looked at his angry expression and asked in confusion, “Chenglin, where are you going?”
“Going home. Don’t interact with the Gu family in the future.” Yang Changlin said as he continued to walk out.
Yang Wanning was stunned by his answer. She grabbed him and asked patiently, “What happened? Tell me first.”
“Cousin tried to sow discord between us. He said he was the one who ordered the dress you wore to the palace banquet.” Yang Chenglin glared at Gu Chengrui, who had just entered.
Gu Chengrui ignored him and walked away. It was better to leave this b.u.mbling kid to Yang Wanning to handle. Otherwise, saying more would only exacerbate the situation because he was an outsider.
Yang Wanning heard this, and while she didn’t know why they brought it up, she realized she needed to clarify things today. If her cousin had a disagreement with them, they would be isolated and helpless in the future.
Thinking of this, she stared at him and said earnestly, “That’s right. 1 asked my Chengrui to help order that dress for me because the dress that Mrs. Cui prepared for me is not presentable.”
“Impossible!” Yang Chenglin didn’t believe it.
“You… the Third Prince, Granny Liu, and even some of the madams who attended the palace banquet know about this. If you don’t believe me…”
“Impossible. Even when our stepmother mistreats her own children, she has never mistreated us.
“If you say that again, 1’11 never talk to you again.” Yang Chenglin shook off his sister’s hand and turned to run out.
“You, come back here!” Yang Wanning shouted and wanted to chase after him.
Gu Chengrui shook his head when he saw this. “It’d be better not to chase after him. He’s an ingrate who regards a thief as his mother. What’s the point of chasing after him?”
Yang Chenglin, who had almost run out of the courtyard, immediately turned around and retorted angrily, “Who are you calling an ingrate?”
“Who do you think? Do you dare to make a bet with me?” Gu Chengrui looked at him with contempt.
He knew very well that children at this age were rebellious.
He had accepted that Yang Chenglin wouldn’t turn back until he hit a wall.
As a result, provoking his rebellious spirit and allowing him to dig out the truth himself was the only way he could see the truth.
Although Yang Chenglin couldn’t understand what Gu Chengrui was doing, he could tell he was being looked down upon.
“Hmph, what are we betting? What if you lose?” He demanded with high spirits.
“If I lose, 1’11 give you 10,000 taels of silver. If you lose…” Gu Chengrui shook his head. “Even if you lose, you won’t be able to give me anything.
“How about this, if you lose, you’ll be my errand boy for five years?”
“Impossible. If 1 lose, I’ll give you 100,000 taels of silver.”
“It looks like you’re confident in yourself. I’ll accept that proposal then, 100,000 taels of silver.
“If you can’t take it out by then, sell yourself to me and be my servant for five years.”
“Alright, then it’s settled.”
Yang Wanning looked at Yang Chenglin speechlessly, but she was happy to see this through. It would be great if she could let him see the true colors of the Cui ladies through this bet..
