She didn't expect that a mere visit to her parents' home could rise to such a level. If she had known this, she would have carried Qin Junyu over even if she had to carry him on her back.

Although Qin Junyu insisted on accompanying her back to her parents' home, because it was the first time a woman returned home after getting married and it was of great significance, so he wanted to accompany her, Nian Susu guessed that Qin Junyu didn't know there was such a meaning.

However, Qin Junyu couldn't persuade Nian Susu and could only obey and rest at home.

Nian Susu felt a strong sense of guilt in her heart. If Qin Junyu's image in Nian Chengyun and Yang Yuerong was ruined because of this, wouldn't she be guilty?

She hasn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet.

At this point, Nian Susu had no choice but to continue covering up this obvious lie.

She took Yang Yuerong's arm and walked in, smiling, "Mother, don't you know who His Highness is? It's understandable that he doesn't care about me, but how could he not respect you and Dad, right?"

"He really can't get away."

The two of them looked better at last.

Nian Susu stayed in the mansion for a meal and took the things from the East Wing back to the East Palace. Zhihua and Jingzhe had already packed the things and loaded them onto the carriage. Nian Susu remembered that there was one thing she hadn't taken, so she headed towards the East Wing.

After she got married, the East Wing became empty. Apart from someone coming to clean it at a fixed time every day, few people came here. Although she had only been away for three days, when Nian Susu returned here again, it felt like a lifetime ago.

She stood in the yard, carefully observing every plant and tree in the yard. She had a premonition that once she left this time, she wouldn't know when she would come back next time.

Sighing, Nian Susu walked towards the backyard.

On the day of her wedding, Li Yaoyuan sent someone to deliver a cart of flowers. She was in a hurry to leave, so she asked someone to send the flowers back to the east wing first. The weather was so hot, and she didn't know whether the flowers were still alive.

Fortunately, the flowers were placed in the inner corridor and did not suffer too much damage. Although the petals have turned yellow, they are still usable and are more than enough to take home and make dried flowers.

Nian Susu picked some and wrapped them in cloth in her arms. Her mood improved. As soon as she walked out of the east wing, she saw a few maids sweeping the floor not far away. The topic they were talking about seemed to be related to her.

The little maid had her back to her and did not notice her approaching, and she did not stop talking.

"Our eldest lady doesn't seem to have any temper at all. Will the son-in-law bully our young lady by relying on his status as the crown prince?"

"What Miss? Now you should call me Crown Princess."

"In my opinion, the Crown Princess will have a hard time in the East Palace in the future. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't value her, and it is even less likely that the servants will respect her."

Nian Susu walked quietly behind them and followed the maid's words and asked, "Then in your opinion, what should the Crown Princess do now to save the situation?"

The little maid didn't realize anything was wrong. She lowered her head to sweep the floor while thinking carefully about how to answer. After a moment, she shook her head and said, "I don't know. I only know how to sweep the floor. How can I understand these things?"

I don't know which one of them turned around and saw Nian Susu. Then he realized who had asked the question and immediately panicked. He tightly grasped the broom pole, lowered his head, and said tremblingly, "Crown Princess."

The others were startled and quickly saluted, shouting in unison: "Crown Princess."

There was no anger on Nian Susu's face, and they felt relieved.

The maids waited for a long time, but Nian Susu finally said nothing and left thoughtfully. Her back looked so determined.

East Palace.

Nian Su gave the flowers to Zhihua and told Jingzhe to unload the luggage and put it in the warehouse. She went to change her clothes before returning to the east wing.

Qin Junyu was reading a book in the small study room, with Ajun serving beside him. He read a page and Ajun turned it. His reading speed was almost precisely controlled by Ajun, and the error was generally no more than three seconds.

Qin Junyu's mentality has been much calmer in the past three days, because at least he can sit, instead of lying in bed like a useless person, but it is still inconvenient.

"Your Highness, I'm back!" I heard the voice before I saw the person.

Qin Junyu and A Shun looked up at the same time.

Nian Susu walked around the screen and entered the small study. A Shun tactfully stepped aside and she sat cross-legged opposite him.

"How is it? Did my father-in-law and mother-in-law say anything?" Qin Junyu asked nervously, with a bit of anticipation in his eyes.

Nian Susu laughed at him first: "You call them father-in-law and mother-in-law so easily. I didn't even offer tea to your parents."

Then she frowned and told him seriously: "My father and mother are very angry. They think you don't value our family and look down on me. Even I am treated coldly." She said it so solemnly that Qin Junyu was struck by lightning in an instant. He froze in place and felt as if the sky had fallen.

"No, I'm going to go talk to them now." He frowned and gritted his teeth, and was about to get up immediately. He felt an urge in his heart, but his legs were out of control and he couldn't stand up no matter how hard he tried.

Nian Susu didn't try to persuade him, nor did she try to stop him. She just quietly looked at him with her chin in her hand, as if to say, "Let me see how you're going to do it."

After struggling for a few times, Qin Junyu gave up and looked at Nian Susu miserably: "What should I do? This misunderstanding is too big."

He sighed bitterly, "I didn't expect returning home was so important, otherwise I would have crawled over there even if I had to."

"It's okay." Nian Susu was open-minded. "I don't have much experience in my first marriage, but it will be fine next time. The first time is raw, the second time is familiar."

Qin Junyu nodded in agreement, then realized that something was not right with what he said, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

His eyes rolled and fell back on Nian Susu.

She puffed her cheeks and her fox eyes flickered, and I don't know what bad idea she was thinking up.

Nian Susu: “I think we still have to find a way to make it reasonable that your legs can’t walk, otherwise it will cause greater misunderstandings sooner or later.”

Qin Junyu: "What method?"

Nian Su Su thought hard and finally she came up with a solution that had the best of both worlds.

……

Go north from the East Wing, through the Hefeng Courtyard, and you will reach Caiyue Pavilion at the end. Caiyue Pavilion is where the palace maids live, located in the northeast corner of the East Palace, not far from the East Wing.

A group of palace maids finished their shift and returned to Caiyue Pavilion in a group. The palace maid who walked in front and led the way was outstanding in appearance and tall in stature. She was considered outstanding among the servants, which also made her a bit arrogant and conceited.

The two palace maids who followed her were usually close to her because they were on duty at the same time and place.

"Oh, I'm so tired. There is too much work to do today. It's more tiring than the past half month." One of the palace maids complained. Her name was Lingxiu. She was the youngest of the three and the least courageous. She couldn't hide her feelings in her heart and she didn't know how to control her words.

Yun Qing agreed with her: "Yes, today I spent half a day just helping the Crown Princess clean the various tools she brought from home."
