This concubine's wife, whom she had always looked down upon, was cuckolded in public by her own elder sister. Not only was she not angry, she even went to the Fourth Prince's house in person to ask for his hand in marriage.

In the past, she only thought that Yixiu was cowardly, but now, she wondered if Yixiu had already seen through the Fourth Prince's indifference!

Such a man is really not worth being sad for!

The Fourth Prince didn't know that Gan Ziyun's feelings towards him had changed so quickly. Seeing Yixiu pleading for mercy, he didn't want to save Yixiu's face in public.

He looked down at Gan Ziyun with a stern face and said coldly, "Since it's Fu Jin who's pleading for you, I won't say anything more about you. It's just that your personality really doesn't make you suitable to be a housekeeper!"

Gan Ziyun wiped the tears from her face and said, "I know I was wrong! I was anxious just now and accidentally bumped into Sister Rouze. I apologize to Sister Rouze!"

As he said this, he lowered his head and kowtowed to Rouze and the Fourth Prince.

Gan Ziyun has always been arrogant. She is the legitimate daughter of the Gan family and also the concubine of the mansion. Although Rouze is of a high birth, she is a princess after all.

When the Fourth Prince saw that Gan Ziyun had lowered her head, he suddenly felt that he had gone too far, but his masculine pride prevented him from lowering his head.

However, he softened his tone and said, "Let's just talk about the matter at hand. You are all sisters in the mansion, and you should support each other in the future!"

Rouze saw that the Fourth Prince had begun to soften his heart, so she quickly stood up and personally helped Gan Ziyun up.

"Sister, don't be angry. I was just being outspoken and accidentally offended you with my words! Let's let the past go. From now on, we sisters should get along well!"

Gan Ziyun also smiled and nodded, but his eyes were extremely cold.

The originally harmonious atmosphere was broken by Li Jingyan's quick words.

"Aren't you investigating what happened at tonight's banquet? Why are you being so affectionate with each other again? Are you going to investigate tonight's banquet or not? I hope all those bites I made were in vain!"

At this moment, Cuiguo just wanted to quickly pull her own princess away from this place of trouble.

Gege, where is your brain!

The Fourth Prince coughed awkwardly twice, "Su Peisheng, continue to try this case!"

Su Peisheng responded, then looked at Xing'er and asked, "Miss Xing'er, I don't know if you are really crazy or just pretending to be crazy, but you have hurt Fu Jin, your crime is unforgivable and you cannot escape death. If you tell me who is behind this, God will be merciful and perhaps I will spare your life!"

Xing'er smiled foolishly and said, "Gege said that she would give me to the Fourth Master in the future. I will be the master of this palace, and I will give birth to a little prince for him!"

Xing Er clapped her hands and laughed.

Rouze's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Li Jingyan couldn't help laughing and said, "This maid's words are quite interesting. A lowly servant wants to be a princess and even want to give birth to a child for the prince? Where does she get the nerve to do that!"

Yixiu looked at Xing'er and knew that nothing could be found out from the interrogation.

She quietly waved to Jianqiu and whispered in her ear, "I don't know if Xing'er is really crazy or what. Find a way to get the news of Xing'er's arrest to Nanny Rouze!"

Since this doesn't work, we have to find another way. Xing'er's biological mother is Rouze's wet nurse, Nanny Qian.

She just didn't believe that Madam Qian could watch her own daughter die!

In order not to alert the enemy, Yixiu pretended to be unwell and said to the Fourth Prince, "Master, it's getting late now. The family is all female, and most of them are weak. Xing'er has gone crazy. It seems that we won't be able to find out anything tonight. Why don't we all go back and rest quickly!"

The Fourth Prince also thought so. Some things really cannot be rushed!

"In that case, then let's listen to Fu Jin and go back to rest!"

After hearing this, everyone could only nod and leave.

However, Lu Yingfeng stayed here. After all, she was too weak to move.

This pregnancy was already unstable, and I was afraid that I would accidentally miscarry it.

Rouze's stunning dance tonight almost took away the Fourth Prince's soul, so the Fourth Prince naturally went to Rouze's courtyard.

Qi Yuebin left with a dejected look on her face, and even pretended not to hear Li Jingyan's constant mockery of her behind her.

Seeing that everyone had left, Yixiu and Huichun also wanted to return to their own courtyard.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Concubine Gan Ziyun called her, "Concubine, I am a little scared tonight. I wonder if I can go to you and ask for a cup of tea to calm my nerves!"

Huichun knew that Yixiu was pregnant and should not work too hard. Moreover, this concubine was usually impetuous. What if she offended the master?

She was about to refuse but was stopped by Yixiu.

"I can't sleep tonight, so why not let Concubine Jin talk to me?"

Gan Ziyun naturally wanted it very much, so the two of them went to Yixiu's courtyard together.

Yixiu will help Gan Ziyun today. On the one hand, she sympathizes with her situation, and on the other hand, she also knows that one cannot fight alone.

There will be more and more people in the palace in the future. When the Fourth Prince becomes the emperor, the concubines in the palace will be even more numerous.

As a wife and a queen, I naturally need a few trustworthy people around me.

Perhaps Gan Ziyun can be won over.

.........

After returning to the courtyard, Yixiu leaned on the couch to rest, and Gan Ziyun sat on a chair not far from her.

The two chatted for a while, and when the atmosphere was almost created, Gan Ziyun knelt on the ground very respectfully and performed the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows to Yi Xiuxing.

Yixiu feigned surprise and asked, "Sister, what are you doing? Why are you being so polite to me out of the blue?"

Gan Ziyun knelt down with a sincere look on her face and said, "I used to be disrespectful to Fu Jin, and even looked down on you in my heart, but now I know that Fu Jin is the most sober and understanding person in this mansion!"

Yixiu looked at the expression on her face, which didn't seem fake, but she had been struggling in the deep palace for many years, and the truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth, could not be explained by just one expression or one sentence!

Yixiu chuckled and shook her head: "Sister, I don't understand what you mean? Just now, when I pleaded for mercy in front of the Fourth Master, it was just the friendship between sisters in the mansion, and it's not worth much. Being a housekeeper is a tough job. Sister, you are young, so it's inevitable that you will offend people. It's nothing!"

These words were spoken with some sincerity. Gan Ziyun looked at Yixiu, who was about the same age as her, and felt that although they were the same age, Yixiu was so clear-headed and lucid, while she herself relied on her previous experience in her mother's family and became arrogant in this mansion.

Fu Jin did not hold a grudge against her, but instead helped her when she was in trouble. This kind of friendship is incomparable in any way.

If it were me, to be fair, Gan Ziyun would not step on others, so how could he possibly help others?

Gan Ziyun felt more and more that Yixiu was someone she could make close friends with, and she even wanted to follow Yixiu in the future.

"From now on, I will follow the Madam's lead!"
