Nian Qiaoyue couldn't hide her smile. She could marry either Prince Qing or the Crown Prince. As long as their status and position were respected, no one would dare to look down on her.

She immediately wiped away her tears and looked at Mrs. Zhang hopefully, "Then how can I make Nian Susu agree to help me?"

Not knowing what she was thinking of, she suddenly lowered her eyes in frustration, "You know, she and I have always had a problem, don't let her help me, it's good enough that she doesn't harm me. Besides, this kind of thing... isn't it inappropriate for me to beg her for help?"

Nian Qiaoyue was, after all, an innocent girl, and she couldn't help blushing when talking about marriage.

But Mrs. Zhang was shameless. "What's the big deal? Just go and ask her. What if she agrees out of sisterhood? Otherwise, you can just cry, make a scene, and threaten her in the east wing. When she gets annoyed and can't stand it anymore, she will naturally agree to you.

In my opinion, she is stopping you from being with Prince Qing because she is afraid that you will retaliate against her after you become the princess. As long as you promise that you will not target her after you become the princess and will also give her benefits, she will be eager to have you marry her right away!

Besides, she doesn't need to do anything, just ask her to speak well of you in front of the Queen, and hint to the Master to arrange a marriage between you and Prince Qing, just a matter of talking."

Nian Qiaoyue thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth.

Nian Susu is close to the prince and has no other thoughts about Prince Qing, so he should not refuse, right?

Seeing that Nian Qiaoyue had this idea, Mrs. Zhang advised again: "Think about it, how many troubles have you caused in the past? How many times has the eldest lady taken the blame for you? If you ask her for help this time, she will definitely agree."

“Okay!” Nian Qiaoyue agreed immediately and stopped crying. She was instantly full of fighting spirit.

As long as Nian Susu agrees to help her, everything will be fine.

After Mrs. Zhang's analysis, she had seen through it thoroughly. For now, she could either ask Nian Susu to help her marry a prince, preferably the Prince of Qing or the Crown Prince. Or she could wait until she was old enough to be sold to the old man as a concubine by Yang Yuerong.

Her reputation has been damaged beyond repair.

Nian Qiaoyue tidied herself up, changed into clean clothes, sat in front of the dressing table and forced herself to look at her mottled face. In this state, she couldn't put on makeup, and she didn't plan to.

She even painted her lips white with powder, looking weak and pitiful.

After finishing all this, she put on her veil and went to the east wing.

Many servants stared at her on the road, and she was glad that she was wearing a veil.

East wing courtyard.

Nian Susu was eating lotus cake with gusto. Zhihua poured her tea with a smile on her face, "Miss, today is really a relief! I heard that the second young lady cried and made a fuss for a long time after returning to the west wing! Let's see if she dares to mess with you next time."

"What did the young lady say?" Zhihua pondered and finally remembered, "If she offends the young lady, she will be in big trouble!"

These words coupled with Zhihua's gloating tone made Nian Susu find it inexplicably funny.

But before she could be happy for a while, the little girl outside the door came to announce: "Miss, the second young lady wants to see you."

She choked on a mouthful of hibiscus cake.

"Why is Nian Qiaoyue not crying in her room right now? Why is she looking for me? Are you here to settle a score with me?"

Zhihua consoled her, "How dare she? She has seen the young lady's strength before. If she comes to provoke trouble, she will be courting death."

Nian Susu nodded in agreement and asked someone to invite Nian Qiaoyue in.

Nian Qiaoyue was wearing a veil and standing in front of the table.

Nian Susu was sitting with a plate of lotus cake in front of her. She looked at Zhihua who was nervous and awkward, and winked, "Zhihua, you go down first."

Zhihua responded “yes” and retreated to the outside of the corridor.

Nian Qiaoyue took off her veil, and underneath it, she looked calm.

Nian Susu was a little surprised. Logically, the scars on her face should disappear after the props expire. Why was it still so scary?

She remembered that on the way to Xisu, she used the system's prop - "Bee Puppy" to conjure up bees that stung Nian Qiaoyue's face until it looked like a pig's head, but it returned to normal the next day. Nian Qiaoyue was shocked that she recovered so quickly.

But in fact, once the prop loses its effect, the effect it brings will also disappear.

Nian Susu looked closely at the scars on Nian Qiaoyue's face. The bumps were gone, and only long scratches remained. They were probably caused by herself because she couldn't stand the itch.

She hurt herself, it was not the effect of the props, so even if the props failed, the wounds on her face would not disappear.

After figuring out the reason, Nian Susu breathed a sigh of relief. Does this mean that she has a better understanding of this system?

Nian Qiaoyue had already accepted her face, but she still felt uncomfortable being stared at like this. She turned her face to the side and said softly:

"Sister, I came here to ask you something."

Nian Susu was even more shocked. Nian Qiaoyue was so ambitious that he actually said the word "beg" to her?

Could it be that he wanted her to help treat his face? But Nian Qiaoyue didn't know that she had medical skills, nor did she know that her face was caused by the system props. She should ask her cheap father to find a good doctor for her, right?

She suppressed her doubts and pointed to the stool beside the table with her eyes, "Sit down."

Nian Qiaoyue did not hesitate. She sat down, clutching her veil and stroking her skirt. She was very nervous, afraid that Nian Susu would not agree, and even more afraid that she would humiliate her.

Nian Susu picked up a piece of hibiscus cake and threw it into his mouth. "Tell me, what do you want from me? I only promise things I can't do, not things I can do."

It’s like if someone comes to her to borrow money, she can lend 2 million but not 200 because she really has the money.

Nian Qiaoyue almost didn't react to the meaning of her words. After she understood, her heart sank. She hadn't even said what it was yet, but Nian Susu had already made his attitude clear. How could she say anything else?

She stared at the hibiscus cake, worried.

Nian Susu noticed her gaze and held the hibiscus cake in his arms protectively, "If you want to eat it, buy it yourself."

Nian Qiaoyue was speechless. The more Nian Susu thought about it, the weirder his train of thought became.

Thinking of Mrs. Zhang's words and her own future, she resisted the urge to turn around and leave, and said in a gentle voice:

"Sister, I'm actually here to make peace with you."

"Make peace?" Nian Susu narrowed his eyes, revealing some confusion, "When will we make peace?"

Year and month: ...

For the first time, she understood so intuitively what "If you don't agree, there's no need to talk too much" meant.

Hold it, hold it...

She forced herself to keep smiling. "I know I was wrong in the past. I did a lot of things that offended my sister. I was ignorant. My sister can beat me or scold me if she wants, but I..."

"Really?" Nian Susu asked in surprise. He didn't even have the patience to listen to her finish her words. He rolled up his sleeves and blew into his palms. His cunning fox eyes flashed with brilliance. "Can I slap you as many times as you want?"

Year and month: ...

Talking to Nian Susu was more painful than killing her.

Seeing that she was silent and had a dark face, Nian Susu said with contempt, "Tsk, don't play if you can't afford to lose. I'll pay you back if I install it."
