As soon as Su Qinghe finished speaking, the faces of the people in the room changed.

Even the Marquis of Yongning changed his expression and could not help but rebuke:

"What are you talking about?"

It would have been fine if it was just Huang Tianba, but they actually dared to implicate the Fourth Prince.

He somewhat regretted marrying this daughter-in-law. She was not as steady as the eldest daughter of the Su family at all, and she always made trouble in the backyard because of some trivial matters of money.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Yucheng has already joined the cabinet...

Yongning Hou took a deep breath and looked at his son:

"You guys go down first."

Zhou Shulang knew that his father was angry with Su Qinghe, so he quickly took Su Qinghe away.

After returning to his own courtyard and dismissing all the servants, he looked at Su Qinghe:

"What did you mean by that just now? Why do you think it has something to do with the Fourth Prince?"

Su Qinghe regretted what she said long ago. She spoke without thinking because she was too surprised.

She knew Zhou Shulan would ask further questions, so she was already thinking of a solution on the way back.

"Yesterday I noticed that the Fourth Prince was not there when we left the table, so I thought..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhou Shulang interrupted her:

"You think?!"

"That's the Fourth Prince, the most favored prince by the Emperor right now."

"Do you know what will happen to our family if that word gets out?!"

Su Qinghe pursed her lips and said nothing. She had indeed done something wrong.

However, not only did she not calm Zhou Shulang down, but she made him even angrier:

"I thought you were just petty, jealous, and calculative, but I didn't expect you weren't even in your right mind."

"From today on, you should stay in the yard and be quiet. You don't have to go back to your parents' home on the third day of the New Year. I will tell my father-in-law and mother-in-law that you are sick."

After saying this, Zhou Shulan turned around and left without giving Su Qinghe a chance to react. He also had people guard the yard and not allow her to leave.

Su Qinghe had never thought that she would be under house arrest, and she was so angry that she smashed all the cups, teapots and other objects on the table.

Nan Tian and Yu Shui didn't want to go in, but they heard too much noise inside.

If this were to get out, the prince would be even more angry, so the two of them had no choice but to go in and persuade him.

"Miss, don't smash it. You will make the uncle even angrier."

"Miss, now you have to think about what to do."

The two maids were also helpless. Their indentures were held by Su Qinghe, and their families were also in Su Qinghe's hands. They had no choice but to help Su Qinghe do things.

After hearing what the two maids said, Su Qinghe managed to calm down.

"You two should find out more about what happened at the palace banquet last night."

"Also, find a way to tell my mother that I'm grounded, so that she can come and see me."

She knew that Madam Zhou would definitely take away some of her power by taking advantage of this house arrest. She had finally established a foothold in the Yongning Marquis Mansion and would never allow these things to be handed over.

Su Qingwan was unaware of the twists and turns in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. It was already afternoon when she woke up.

What’s rare is that Yan Mingjue is still at home.

It's the New Year and he has some free time.

Seeing her get up, he helped her put on her clothes himself and carried her to the dining table.

Yan Mingjue has now become more and more accustomed to doing these things, and he seems to enjoy serving Su Qingwan.

Su Qingwan was also happy to have him serve her.

Starting from the second day of the Chinese New Year, the concierge began to receive a lot of visiting cards and New Year gifts.

This is the custom of every family, but this year Yan Mingjue's gifts were particularly numerous and heavy, especially the one sent by the Fourth Prince's mansion was even more astonishing, two boxes of silver and a box of rare treasures.

Perhaps knowing that he cared about Su Qingwan, he had someone send her a box of jewelry, all of which were top-quality.

Even Su Qingwan was a little surprised when she saw this New Year gift.

"How should we return the favor when the Fourth Prince behaves like this?"

"Don't worry about it, just keep it."

Yan Mingjue spoke calmly.

After hearing what he said, Su Qingwan made up her mind. Without saying much, she asked someone to put those things into the warehouse, leaving only a box of jewelry.

She was just about to call the concubines over and ask each of them to choose one, but she heard Yan Mingjue say:

"These things are rare, just keep them for yourself."

Su Qingwan couldn't help but laugh at such blatant favoritism, and said jokingly:

"Others are fine, but what about Madam Liu?"
