Fifth Sister Framed Me

"Hiss!" Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the adopted daughter of the Gu family was behaving so promiscuously! Gu Shiyan pretended to be shocked and pointed weakly at Gu Yunshang, saying, "Oh my! Fourth Sister, how could you make improper advances towards the Fifth Prince? Your audacity knows no bounds!"

A cold smile curved at the corners of her mouth.

Truly, a bitch matched with a dog lasts forever.

Ji Beichen was thoroughly disgusted, a shadow passing over his eyes. He reached out his hand to push Gu Yunshang away but, for some unknown reason, his hand quietly dropped down, allowing Gu Yunshang to act out of line.

If he could take this opportunity to establish a relationship with Gu Jingwen, sacrificing some dignity was a trivial matter!

"Shang'er, what are you doing?" Old Madam, Gu Jingwen, Madam Wei, and the three Gu brothers were shocked, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets. Gu Jingwen, in particular, had an extremely displeased expression. What had gotten into his normally well-behaved Shang'er?

He shouted loudly, "Quick, pull Fourth Miss away!"

Several maids rushed forward and pulled Gu Yunshang away.

"What's wrong with you, Shang'er?" Madam Wei stepped forward a few steps, anxiously embracing her.

Gu Yunshang's gaze was somewhat dazed. Meeting the disdainful gazes of everyone around her, she suddenly remembered what she had just done!

She became anxious and frustrated, bursting into tears and pointing at Gu Shiyan. "It was Fifth Sister who framed me, it must be her!"

In an instant, everyone turned their attention towards Gu Shiyan.

"Shi'er, why did you do this to Shang'er and even implicate the Fifth Prince? What evil intentions do you have in your heart?" Madam Wei trembled with anger, almost wanting to tear apart Gu Shiyan's face.

Her eldest brother, Gu Qingci, looked at her with a face full of pain. "Shi'er, if you did something wrong, just admit it. Hurry up and apologize to the Fifth Prince and Shang'er, they will surely forgive you."

Gu Jingwen looked at her with great disappointment. Although he didn't say anything, there was an undeniable aura of dissatisfaction.

Old Madam grabbed a teacup from the table and fiercely threw it at Gu Shiyan, unable to contain her rage. "Our family is truly unfortunate! How did we raise a daughter like you?"

Gu Shiyan dodged the attack, looking at their ugly faces. Her blood ran cold inch by inch.

So they all knew. Only she had been kept in the dark from beginning to end.

"Sister, you say I framed you? Do you have any evidence? And why would I want to harm you? What benefit do I gain from harming you?'' Facing the gazes of everyone, Gu Shiyan appeared to be wronged.

Gu Yunshang screamed at her hysterically, "You're afraid that I'll take away the favor that belongs to you, so you schemed to harm me like this."

Gu Shiyan looked puzzled, raising her innocent eyes. "Sister, don't you find that statement laughable? I am the biological daughter of Father and Mother. No matter what, you can't surpass me. They can't even tell the difference between their own and adopted children."

This statement had another purpose: it successfully silenced Gu Jingwen and the three Gu brothers. If they were to support Gu Yunshang, it would be too obvious.

Her eyes turned red as she spoke, tears welling up, her crystalline eyes on the verge of falling. She looked truly aggrieved, her voice even softening, "Clearly, you want to force the Fifth Prince to marry you using this method. Yet you turn things around and pour dirty water on me. Do you think everyone present today is a fool? Let yourself be deceived."

As she said this, she looked through teary eyes at Ji Beichen. "Fifth Prince, you have already had intimate contact with my rustic sister here. Why not be merciful and marry her?"

She was intentionally disgusting Ji Beichen.

Gu Jingwen was furious. "Shi'er, be quiet."

When Gu Yunshang met Ji Beichen's gaze, her heart trembled. Her teary eyes blurred as she vehemently defended herself, "It really wasn't me, I didn't..."

Ji Beichen's birth mother was nothing more than a lowly servant girl who had borne him out of a night of favor. In his bones, he carried a sense of inferiority and a cold nature.

A shadow flickered across his jade-like face as he looked at Gu Jingwen and spoke slowly, "Master Gu, with such an incident occurring, I ask that you provide an explanation to this prince."
