"Mom, is this true?" Su Chanyi was overjoyed. She had thought that if she lived with the prince in Zhuxiang Garden, surrounded by melons and plums, the future prince's wife would definitely regard her as a thorn in her side. Besides, she did not like getting along with him. This cold and oppressive feeling made her embarrassed. She would think of that crazy night in an instant, and she felt extremely uncomfortable both physically and mentally.

Mother Zhou nodded, not understanding why she was so happy.

"You...if the prince doesn't like you, you will be separated from the young master in the future...and the young master..." Mother Zhou looked at her with a worried look on her face and lowered her voice, "Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Su Chanyi lowered her head obediently, looked at An'er who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and said, "Mother Zhou, I...I can't bear to leave."

"Since you can't bear to part with it, you should try your best. However, the prince hates concubines the most. What should I do?" Mother Zhou thought of Concubine Liu and felt angry. This woman only knew how to win the favor of the marquis. I don't know what kind of drug she put on the marquis. She didn't love the wife, but favored this vixen from a lowly family. The marquis' wife was a hundred times prettier than her.

In the capital, people say that the Marquis of Yong'an favors his concubine over his wife, and that the Marquis' wife, Wang, is willing to compromise. Only she knows that the lady is unwilling to fight with her, and turns a blind eye to the two of them, letting them and their children go far away, and living her own life behind closed doors. If it weren't for the sake of the prince and the fear of losing the family business, the lady might have divorced the Marquis long ago.

Seeing Chan Yi lowering her head and not responding, she quickly added, "But he didn't push you away at the beginning, which means he doesn't hate you. Maybe he will keep you in his mansion."

Thinking of that scene, Mother Zhou has always been a little confused. It was obvious that Danzhu was more plump and charming, but it was really strange that the prince who was drugged that night pushed her away and chose the skinny Chanyi who had not yet grown up.

"Thank you, Mom. I understand. I'll go pack my things now." Su Canyi squatted down and saluted towards her while holding An'er.

She knew that although this Zhou Madam was the prince's wet nurse, she was really sincere to her. Since she became pregnant, she had been taking good care of her, otherwise she would have died before giving birth to An'er with her shaky and weak body.

It was really strange. After giving birth to An'er, perhaps because she ate a lot of nourishing herbs during the confinement period, and because she had a basic understanding of medicine and knew how to maintain health, Su Chanyi's body actually got much better. Although she looked frail, her illnesses had improved a lot, and even the heart disease she had been carrying from the womb had mostly healed.

The only thing she couldn't bear to leave behind when she left Zhuxiang Garden was the lotus pond, which was a beautiful sight in spring, summer, autumn and winter. She could only watch from afar.

"Let's go." Mother Zhou found a few strong maids and moved all the things over.

Su Chanyi didn't have much stuff, but An'er had more stuff, such as a cradle and various baby supplies. The Marquis bought him the best stuff. Chanyi, the wet nurse, ate very well, and the Marquis was afraid that she didn't have enough breast milk and her precious grandson would go hungry.

Su Chanyi is not stupid. At that time, the life and death of the prince was uncertain. The marquis's wife tried every means to let her give birth to this child, so that if the prince died, she could still let this child take the position of the grandson of the prince. After all, she did not want the child born to her rival, Aunt Liu, to inherit the family business of the marquis's mansion.

But now that the prince has returned safely, An'er's mission has been completed. Now he has gone from being the apple of the eye of the Marquis's wife to a hot potato.

"An'er, mother will definitely take you away from the Marquis' Mansion. Mother doesn't want you to call other women your mother. Mother doesn't want you to live in fear all your life and live a life you don't like." Su Canyi touched An'er's little hand and had already made up her mind.

Isn't it just asking her to be obedient and invisible? Okay, she accepts it. She doesn't want to see those masters. She has to kneel down and kowtow at every turn, and act like a pampered and superior person. Who cares! As long as An'er is by her side, everything will be fine.

Pei Jin walked slowly along the path, wondering why he felt strange when he saw the woman's white neck. He must have remembered that night, the greatest humiliation in his life, when he saw her.

He thought that after more than a year, the humiliation had long been erased, but who would have thought that there was a little child who constantly reminded him of his past mistakes.

He had been observing etiquette and austere since childhood, trying hard to make his opponents unable to see his weaknesses. However, he did not expect that he would lose his nature after being drugged by a glass of wine. If he had not been alert at the time, he dared not imagine what would have happened.

"Prince! Prince!" Mo Yan ran up behind him and shouted, "There's news from the palace, asking you to come in immediately."

"What? Enter the palace immediately?" Pei Jin turned around.

"Yes, Prince, the eunuch from the Eastern Palace is waiting at the gate. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you." Mo Yan said, panting.

Pei Jin changed into a moon-white brocade robe, put a jade crown on his head, and once again returned to his appearance as a handsome young man in the capital.

"Sir, Miss Luo..." Mo Yan pointed to Tanchun Courtyard and asked hesitantly, "Mother Li came to ask if dinner will be served in the courtyard or with Madam and you?"

Pei Jin looked at Mo Yan with a gloomy face and said, "Mother Li is an elder in the mansion. Why are you asking about such a thing? You should treat the guests in the mansion the same way you usually treat them today."

Mo Yan quickly responded with a wry smile, turned around to look at Tong Shu who was following behind him, and asked him to pass on the message quickly.

Pei Jin left the Marquis' Mansion and entered the Eastern Palace with Eunuch Li who was sent by the Eastern Palace.

"Excuse me, Eunuch Li." Pei Jin said in a low voice, "How has your highness been in this past year?"

"Prince Pei, you are sorry for the trouble. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing well now." Eunuch Li put on a smile and shook the whisk in his hand.

Pei Jin nodded. Although he had occasional contact with the Eastern Palace over the past year, there were always many things that could not be explained clearly. Whether it was suspicion or distrust, he had always lived up to his mission and fulfilled his promise to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It's only been a year, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have someone more capable around him. He pursed his lips and smiled.

The afternoon sun was very scorching, and even when I walked under the shade of the trees, I still felt a burning sensation on my back.

I walked into the familiar East Palace, and before I even entered the door, I heard a light green figure walking slowly from the side.
