Lin Pianpian returned to the Prince's Mansion and sat in her room crying for the whole afternoon.

Xiaochan, the maidservant beside her, tried to persuade her for a long time. Seeing that Lin Pianpian still couldn't let it go, she became a little angry and said:

"Princess Yun'an is too much of a bully. How dare she humiliate you like this? Girl, why don't you go tell the prince and ask him to make a decision for you? The prince has been doting on you in recent years, and he will definitely help you."

Lin Pianpian wiped her tears, shook her head and said:

"No, His Royal Highness is nice to me only because of my face. I am just a substitute."

"She is a princess and the future crown princess. How can I compete with her? Even if I tell the crown prince, it will only bring shame upon myself. I also have dignity, so I will not do such a thing."

"Then you can't keep crying. What if you hurt yourself?" Xiaochan advised.

"You're right. I can't keep crying." Lin Pianpian nodded and asked, "Xiaochan, are you willing to leave the Prince's Mansion with me? The Crown Princess is about to come in. I don't think there will be a place for me here. I have to leave. What about you?"

Xiaochan was shocked when she heard this:

"…Ah? Girl, are you serious? Are you leaving just because of this?"

"Yes, I'm leaving." After Lin Pianpian said this, she stood up and began to pack her things.

She took out a large piece of cloth, spread it on the table, and then packed her luggage one by one. As she packed, she said:

"This pearl hairpin was given to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I can't bear to part with it, so I have to take it with me."

"This bracelet was made specially for me by His Highness on my birthday. I want to wear it with me as a souvenir."

"This hairpin..."

Anyway, everything in this room was related to the prince, and she was reluctant to throw anything away. In the end, she packed up a large bag of things and almost emptied the bedroom.

"Xiaochan, do you want to go with me?" Lin Pianpian asked after packing up.

"I'm sorry, girl, I can't go with you."

"Why? I will treat you very well. You have been with me all these years since I came to the mansion. If you don't come with me, I won't be used to it."

"My indenture contract is still in the mansion. Unless you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for my indenture contract, if I leave with you without permission, I will be considered a runaway slave. According to the rules of the State of Ye, runaway slaves will be beheaded if they are caught." Xiao Chan said.

Lin Pianpian was stunned for a moment, as if she had never expected this to happen:

"But I...can't leave you anymore."

If Shi Lidie heard this, she would definitely complain:

What can't be left behind? What can't be used to? It's just that I'm used to being served by others and don't want to work hard myself anymore.

"I'm sorry, young lady. My parents are still in Kyoto. I can't leave." Xiaochan said again, "How about you don't leave either, okay?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Lin Pianpian's face, but she quickly became resolute and shook her head:

"I'm leaving, Xiaochan, I will miss you."

After saying this, she picked up the large package on the table, opened the door and walked outside.

Fortunately, she was not born into a rich family. Before entering the Prince's Mansion, she did some housework at home, so she had some strength. Otherwise, she would not be able to carry this burden.

By this calculation, she has not lost out in the past few years in the Prince's Mansion.

It can be said that she came in alone and left with a full load, just like she had purchased goods. She said that she didn't want to ask the prince for help and humiliate her self-esteem, but she was reluctant to part with the jewels and money.

It’s a pity that the prince, who is blind, cannot see Lin Pianpian’s intention.

Ye Zhaonan was busy in the palace all day and returned to the mansion. He planned to rest in Lin Pianpian's yard and have dinner with her as usual, but he didn't expect to see Lin Pianpian leaving with a bag at the gate of the yard.

"Where are you going?" Ye Zhaonan asked.

"Your Highness..." Lin Pianpian was startled and stammered, "Why are you back?"

"Don't you know that I come back at this time every day?" The prince frowned and asked, "You haven't told me yet, where are you going with all these things?"

Lin Pianpian stood there without saying a word. Xiaochan in the yard saw this scene and rushed out to explain:

"Your Highness, you have to make the decision for our girl! She had good intentions today and brought gifts to visit Princess Yun'an of the Dayin Dynasty, but she never thought that Princess Yun'an would humiliate our girl."

"The girl felt deeply humiliated, but she didn't want to tell His Highness, fearing that it would ruin the relationship between His Highness and the future Crown Princess. She could only silently endure the humiliation, but she couldn't stay in the mansion any longer and said she wanted to leave."

"Your Highness, the young lady is afraid that Princess Yun'an will have a grudge against you after she gets married. The young lady always considers you. Your Highness, please be careful and make the decision for our young lady!"

Xiaochan explained a lot, and all she said was what Lin Pianpian said to her when she was crying in the house in the afternoon.

Now that she said it, Ye Zhaonan felt distressed:

"I have said that there is always a place for you in this palace. Who can drive you away? Even the future Crown Princess cannot bypass me and send you away at will."

"Xiaochan, help your daughter go back and put everything away. Don't mention leaving again."

"I will go to Princess Dayin's residence and come back later to have dinner with you."

After saying this, Ye Zhaonan flicked his sleeves and left, going to the Princess's Mansion to find trouble with Shi Lidie.

Behind him, Lin Pianpian looked at his leaving back and burst into tears. Seeing this, Xiaochan said:

"Girl, stop crying. You've been crying all afternoon and your eyes are swollen. Since His Highness has said this, he will definitely not break his promise. Just wait and see. Princess Yun'an will be rejected by His Highness before she even gets married. Aren't you the one who has the final say in this mansion from now on?"

Lin Pianpian shook her head:

"I don't want to compete with Princess Yun'an for anything."

Xiaochan lamented that her master was too soft-hearted and kind, and at the same time, Ye Zhaonan had already arrived at the princess's mansion.

Shi Lidie received the notification and smiled:

"Sure enough, it's here."

Ever since she pushed Lin Pianpian away, she knew that Ye Zhaonan would definitely come. After all, that was the plot of the original novel. Even if she hadn't married into the prince's mansion, this would not change.

The next second, Ye Zhaonan rushed in angrily and lectured Shi Lidie:

"Although the princess is the adopted daughter of His Majesty and the Queen of the Great Yin Dynasty, she is also a princess with a proper title, a daughter of a golden branch and jade leaf. I originally thought that the princess was generous and straightforward, but I didn't expect that she was also petty and embarrassed a helpless woman."

"On the way here, I confessed to the princess about Lin Pianpian's existence. If the princess couldn't tolerate her, she should have told me at that time instead of doing something behind my back."

"Princess, this is the first time. If it happens again, I will not let you off easily."

After saying this, Ye Zhaonan turned around and left, hurrying back to have dinner with Lin Pianpian.

Unexpectedly, Shi Lidie behind him gave an order:

"Stop him!"

Soon, the twenty imperial guards who stayed in Ye State to serve as Shi Lidie's personal guards rushed out and surrounded Ye Zhaonan, making him unable to move.
