Chapter 457, So That's How It Is (2nd Update)

But moved as she was, Xie Zhinuan remained highly rational.

"May I ask where your home is? Who's in your family? Where is your daughter now?"

"My family name is Mu. We live in Yangjiang Prefecture; our ancestors started with the timber business!"

Xie Zhinuan raised an eyebrow, "Yangjiang Prefecture? Could it be that the person interested in your daughter is a son from the Marquis Xuanping Residence?"

"Indeed, the eldest son. He used to be the Princely Heir, but last year for some reason, he was stripped of his title and became the eldest son of the marquis's family!"

Xie Zhinuan looked at the timber merchant.

If this timber merchant's identity was true, then it's very likely that Gu Yichen came for revenge.

She hadn't expected Gu Yichen to be stripped of his Princely Heir title, Li Hengyi had really made a bold move.
