So, the Fourth Prince put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Rouze, "Since Qi Gege is sick, I will go and see her and will be back soon!"

Rouze still wanted to pull, she stepped forward and grabbed the Fourth Prince's sleeve, hoping to get some sympathy from him, but was pushed away by the Fourth Prince.

Looking at the ruthless back of the Fourth Prince, Rouze suddenly collapsed to the ground and cried silently.

"Today is my first day back home, and he doesn't even give me this face!"

Cui'an felt so distressed when she saw her master, she quickly helped Rouze up and comforted him, "Princess, don't worry, didn't the prince just promise to be back soon?"

Rouze sighed, sneered, and slowly stood up and sat on the chair.

"You can only fool yourself with these words. In this deep mansion, we put on a show day after day. If you can't even fool people, then you can only fool ghosts!"

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse outside the window, and the candlelight was bright inside the window. Rouze had finished her meal and was about to rest when she heard the voice of the servant beside the Fourth Prince outside, saying that the Fourth Prince was resting at Qi Gege's place tonight and would not be coming back.

Cui'an looked at Rouze, whose face had turned pale, and quickly asked someone to send the servant away.

She wanted to persuade Rouze again, but she saw that Rouze had already composed herself and was ready to go to bed.

Rouze lay on the bed by herself, sneering, "Now that I'm back in this mansion, I will never again let them bully me like I did before! Doesn't this Qi Gege want to get sick? Then let her have enough!"

In the dim candlelight, Rouze's haggard face flashed with a terrifying fire.

Cui'an felt a little unfamiliar looking at Rouze like this.

She murmured to herself: "Princess, you seem to have changed..."

Qi Yuebin, who had received the blessing of rain and dew, felt that the wind was sweet as he walked on the way to pay his respects to Yixiu.

Li Jingyan rolled his eyes disdainfully behind her, "Look at her, she's acting like no one has ever tried to sleep with someone."

Jixiang pulled Li Jingyan's sleeve, signaling her master to be careful with her words, after all, her punishment was not over yet!

Li Jingyan snorted coldly and walked behind Qi Yuebin with an unconvinced look on his face.

Rouze, who was watching this scene from behind, smiled with satisfaction and called out:

"Sister Li, wait for me, let's go out together!"

Rouze came over with a smile on her face.

Li Jingyan suddenly turned around and found that it was Rouze calling her.

She had also heard the news that Rouze had returned home. After looking her up and down, Li Jingyan said bluntly, "Princess Rouze, how have you aged so much? Look at you like this. If you were outside, I wouldn't dare recognize you! Why are there so many wrinkles on your face?"

There is no woman in this world who wants to be told that she is old. Rouze couldn't help but frown when she heard this.

She smiled awkwardly and stroked her face gently, "Life in the temple is hard, and my sister's face is haggard. She can't compare to your sister's charming beauty!"

Li Jingyan was delighted at first, but then said indignantly, "What does it matter if you are so charming? The prince still can't see you and me!"

Rou Ze: ………

Rouze was speechless for a moment and could only change the subject.

After striking up a conversation, the two of them talked as they walked.

Jixiang knew that Rouze was not a good person, and did not want his master to have any contact with this Rouze princess. All the way, he kept urging the princess to pay her respects to the concubine as soon as possible, so as not to be late.

Unfortunately, Li Jingyan was a fool and could not understand the implicit hints in Jixiang's words. After some flattery from Rouze, he became good friends with Rouze.

Rouze had been staying in Ganlu Temple for some time and didn't know much about the news in the palace, but after talking with Li Jingyan, she had a rough idea of what was going on.

After arriving at Yixiu's courtyard, Li Jingyan discovered that concubine Gan Ziyun and Qi Yuebin had already arrived.

Qi Yuebin had long harbored resentment towards Rouze. Seeing Rouze arrive late, he couldn't help but sneer, "Sister Rouze, this is your first day back home, how come you're late? Thank goodness the wife is kind. If you'd met someone more strict, they'd probably think you were disrespectful and would have punished you!"

Rouze looked up at Yixiu. She had a dignified and gentle expression on her face, but she didn't say a word for herself.

In desperation, Rouze could only bow deeply and say, "I am late today, please forgive me, Madam!"

Yixiu didn't even raise her eyelids. "That's not a problem. Since Princess Rouze is back, she must abide by the rules of this mansion. Don't make me angry again. I'll let you go to Ganlu Temple to practice in seclusion!"

Jian Yixiu only scolded her a few words but did not impose any substantial punishment.

Qi Yuebin continued to insist, "Fujin is really kindhearted, thinking of the sisterly love we once had, but some people might not think that way!"

Qi Yuebin was clearly being a bit too arrogant, so Yixiu also scolded her: "Qi Gege, yesterday I heard the servants in the mansion say that you were ill, but when I saw you today, I saw that you were full of energy and your face was rosy. You don't look sick at all!"

Yixiu really didn't like Rouze and wanted to deal with her, but she couldn't tolerate a concubine bossing her around in front of her, as this was a challenge to the authority of the mistress of the house.

Gan Ziyun naturally sided with Yixiu, "So Qi Gege is sick? Why didn't you send someone to notify me so I could call a doctor for her?"

Qi Yuebin's illness was originally a fabricated story to deceive the Fourth Prince. If he had really called a doctor and the doctor told the truth, where would he put his face?

She also knew that this was Yixiu's warning, so she quickly stood up and admitted her fault: "It's not a serious illness, I just felt a little unwell yesterday. I'm fine today. Thank you, Madam, for your concern!"

Yixiu glanced around and said to the people in the mansion, "Since Princess Rouze has returned, I have a few words to say. From now on, everyone should serve the prince in harmony and help him expand his family. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will not disturb them lightly!"

Gan Ziyun took the lead and knelt down, "I will remember Madam Fu's teachings!"

The people behind naturally wanted to follow, but none of them were as willing as Gan Ziyun.

Especially Rouze's eyes were almost spitting fire, but when she thought of her own situation, she had to endure it.

After returning to the courtyard, Rouze couldn't wait to ask someone to write a letter to her mother's family, Ulanara Heng'an.

She hoped that Ulanara Heng'an could find a way to help her teach Qi Yuebin a lesson, and at the same time establish her authority in this palace.

But unexpectedly, she received the news that her biological mother was sent to Ganlu Temple for asceticism.

Also, the courtyard he lived in within Ganlu Temple was actually the same one where he had been punished.

In the letter, Ulanara Heng'an not only clearly explained the cause and effect of the matter, but also repeatedly warned people not to act rashly.

Those who strike first will gain the upper hand; those who strike later will be controlled by others.

They have already lost the initiative, and now Fei Yanggu is dissatisfied with the three of them. If they continue to commit suicide, they will probably not end up well.
