Su Qiaoer looked at Lin Wanqing and spoke, but her hands hanging at her sides were clenched into fists, revealing her true emotions.

Lin Wanqing saw Su Qiaoer's reaction, but remained expressionless.

"It's good that Aunt Su knows. I don't want any questionable people to appear in the prince's backyard. If the prince knew about it, he would not care about our old relationship."

Lin Wanqing looked at Su Qiaoer and said with a smile that she wanted to see how long Su Qiaoer could endure.

"What the princess said is true. I will not bring disgrace to the palace, nor will I do anything to let the prince down."

Su Qiaoer looked at Lin Wanqing and spoke with a firm face, but her hands hanging at her sides were clenched into fists, revealing her true emotions.

"It's good that Aunt Su thinks so. I haven't said anything. Why are you so excited, Aunt Su?"

Lin Wanqing looked at Su Qiaoer and spoke lightly. Her words seemed unintentional, but she was actually testing Su Qiaoer.

"Princess, you misunderstood. I'm not excited. I'm just... just a little nervous."

Upon hearing this, Su Qiaoer hurriedly explained that she couldn't let Lin Wanqing see any clues.

"Nervous? Why are you nervous, Aunt Su? I'm not a cannibal."

Lin Wanqing looked at Su Qiaoer and asked again. She just didn't believe that Su Qiaoer could keep pretending.

"Princess, you're joking. I'm not nervous about anything. I just... just feel a little uncomfortable and want to go back and rest."

Su Qiaoer looked at Lin Wanqing and spoke, then she turned and left.

Looking at Su Qiaoer's fleeing back, a hint of coldness flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes.

Su Qiaoer, I want to see how long you can endure.

In the following days, Lin Wanqing had people secretly keep an eye on Su Qiaoer. She wanted to see what Su Qiaoer was trying to do.

However, what Lin Wanqing did not expect was that Su Qiaoer actually stayed in the mansion obediently in the following days and did not go anywhere.

Seeing Su Qiaoer being so honest, Lin Wanqing frowned tightly.

What exactly does Su Qiaoer want to do?

"Princess, Aunt Su has been staying in the mansion obediently these days and hasn't gone anywhere. Could it be that we have misunderstood?"

Chunmei looked at Lin Wanqing and asked with some confusion.

"No, there must be something wrong with Su Qiao'er. She's so honest, it's just the calm before the storm."

Lin Wanqing shook his head upon hearing this.

"The princess means..."

Chunmei looked at Lin Wanqing with a solemn expression on her face.

"Keep watching her and don't miss any clues."

"Yes, princess."

Chunmei nodded after hearing this and then retreated.

In the following days, Lin Wanqing had people secretly keep an eye on Su Qiaoer, but Su Qiaoer seemed to have really changed her personality. She stayed in the mansion obediently and did not go anywhere.

Su Qiaoer looked at the thing in her hand with a fierce expression on her face.

"Sir, this is what I made for you personally, please try it."

That day, Lu Ming came to Su Qiaoer's yard. Su Qiaoer spoke gently and handed the thing in her hand to Lu Ming.

Hearing this, Lu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Su Qiaoer in surprise.

"Did you make it yourself?"

"Yes, Prince, this is made by me personally for you. Please try it and see how it tastes."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming glanced at Su Qiaoer, then took the thing from her hand and took a bite.

"Yes, it tastes good."

Lu Ming took a bite and threw it away. He looked at Su Qiaoer with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"You don't blame me?"

"Your Highness, you're joking. You're just a prince. You have no control over many things. How could I blame you?"

Su Qiaoer looked at Lu Ming. Her words were so sincere and heartfelt that people couldn't help but be moved.

After hearing what Su Qiaoer said, Lu Ming couldn't help feeling a little distressed. He hugged Su Qiaoer in his arms and said softly.

"Qiao'er, don't worry, I will never let you suffer any injustice again."

"Sir, I am already very satisfied to be by your side. I have never thought about status, nor dared to think about it. I just hope that you can come and see me when you are free, and I will be satisfied."

Su Qiaoer leaned her head on Lu Ming's arms and said with deep affection. Her words contained so much information that Lu Ming became extremely excited.

"Qiao'er, what nonsense are you talking about? You are the one I love most in my heart. You should be my legally married wife. If not..."

Lu Ming didn't finish his words, but Su Qiaoer already knew what he meant. She reached out and covered Lu Ming's mouth.

"Sir, please stop talking. I don't care about these things. As long as you are well, I will be satisfied."

"Qiao'er..."

Lu Ming was a little moved. He looked at Su Qiaoer in his arms and called out affectionately.

Su Qiaoer nodded, then showed a worried look on her face again.

"Prince, the princess seems to have some misunderstandings about me..."

"Okay, let's not talk about her. She is my father's wife now. Logically, she is my elder. I can't say anything. Just try to have less contact with her."

When Lu Ming heard this, a hint of impatience flashed across his face.

Su Qiaoer was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she quickly reacted and nodded.

"I understand. I will try my best to avoid the princess in the future. But...what if the princess insists on causing trouble for me?"

"If she dares, I will never let her go if she dares to cause trouble for you!"

When Lu Ming heard this, his eyes instantly became sinister.

Su Qiaoer looked at Lu Ming like this, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. This was exactly the effect she wanted.

"With your words, I feel relieved. No matter what happens, as long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."

"Qiao'er, don't worry, I will never let you suffer any injustice."

The two of them were affectionate for a while before Su Qiaoer started talking about business.

"Sir, I have a good friend who is coming to the capital these days. I want to take care of her for a few days, so I am here to ask for leave."

"Friends? What friends?"

When Lu Ming heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face. Why had he never heard Su Qiaoer mention it?

Looking at Lu Ming's expression, Su Qiaoer couldn't help but sneer in her heart, but her face showed an embarrassment.

"She's a good friend of mine from back in Jiangnan. This time she came to the capital to stay with her relatives. I'm really worried about her and want to take care of her for a few days, but I'm afraid of the prince..."

"I see. You should have said no earlier. This is a good thing. How could I blame you? Just go without worry."

After hearing what Su Qiaoer said, Lu Ming smiled again.

"But I don't have much money..."

After Su Qiaoer finished speaking, she lowered her head shyly.

"These are the ones I gave you before..."

Before Lu Ming could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Qiaoer.

"Those were given to me by the prince. How could I use them? Moreover, they were my dowry. I must keep them well."
