The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Yu.

"Jiang Yu, I know you are a good girl. It is a blessing for Xiao Rong to meet you."

When Jiang Yu heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

She knew that the princess' words came from the heart.

"Thank you princess."

Jiang Yu stood up and bowed to the princess.

The princess sighed softly and continued, "My father will not give up so easily, and as a member of the royal family, I also have my responsibilities and mission."

There was a hint of helplessness in her words, but more of determination.

"Although I have every intention to help you, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey. As a princess, I have no control over many things, but I have done my best. The rest depends on your own luck."

Jiang Yu and Xiao Rong looked solemn upon hearing this.

They were well aware of the complexity of the palace and the majesty of imperial power, and they also understood the deep meaning behind the princess's words.

"Princess, we..."

Xiao Rong hesitated to speak. He was grateful for the princess's help, but he also knew that the road ahead would be difficult.

The princess interrupted him, a glint of encouragement in her eyes.

"Xiao Rong, you are the most responsible man I have ever met. I believe that no matter what the future holds, you will be able to protect Jiang Yu and prevent her from any harm."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Yu, her eyes full of tenderness and blessings.

"Don't worry, Princess. We will definitely cherish this hard-earned relationship and face the future storms together."

Xiao Rong promised solemnly.

Hearing this, the princess nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved."

She stood up and prepared to leave.

"I have to return to the palace to report, so I won't stay any longer. Please be careful and take care of yourselves."

After saying this, the princess turned and walked towards the door with a firm and calm step.

Jiang Yu and Xiao Rong hurriedly stood up to see her off until the princess disappeared outside the door.

On the other side, in the Prince's Mansion, Lin Wanqing was leisurely enjoying the flowers in the back garden.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the petals and falls on her gentle face, adding a touch of softness to her.

She gently stroked the blooming flowers, but her heart couldn't help but think of Jiang Yu and Xiao Rong.

Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted her meditation.

Su Qiaoer came hurriedly with a look of anxiety on her face.

"Madam, please don't worry about Miss Jiang's affairs."

Su Qiaoer said while panting, obviously she had run all the way here.

Lin Wanqing was slightly startled when he heard this, then turned to look at Su Qiaoer, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"What's wrong? Why do you say that suddenly?"

She asked softly, trying to read something from Su Qiaoer's expression.

Su Qiaoer hesitated for a moment, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

But in the end, she gritted her teeth and continued, "Madam, I heard that the emperor attaches great importance to Lord Xiao's marriage. If you interfere again, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Lin Wanqing frowned slightly when he heard this.

She naturally knew that the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, but her concern for Jiang Yu made it difficult for her to stay out of it.

Just as she was hesitating, a crisp laugh came from not far away.

Lin Wanqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw Pei'er walking towards her with a flower basket in her hand and a smile on her face.

"Hey, isn't this Aunt Qiao'er? Why do you look so sad?"

Pearl came closer and spoke in a deliberately exaggerated tone, her eyes full of teasing.

Seeing this, Su Qiaoer's face darkened. She was about to open her mouth to refute, but was gently pulled back by Lin Wanqing.

"Pei'er, don't be rude."

Lin Wanqing scolded softly, but there was no blame in her tone.

Pei'er stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully, then turned to Lin Wanqing and said, "Don't listen to Miss Qiao'er's nonsense. Miss Jiang and Lord Xiao have their own fate and destiny. Let's just enjoy the flowers!"

Lin Wanqing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled with relief.

Yes, Jiang Yu and Xiao Rong’s affairs are determined by their own fate and destiny, so why should I interfere too much?

She gently patted the back of Su Qiao'er's hand and said softly, "Qiao'er, I know you're doing this for my own good, but Jiang Yu is my good friend. How can I just sit there and watch her get into trouble?"

When Su Qiaoer heard this, a complicated expression appeared on her face. She opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing continued, "However, Pei'er is right. Jiang Yu and Xiao Rong's affairs are their own fate. Let's just enjoy the flowers!"

As she spoke, she turned and walked into the depths of the flowers, with Pei'er following closely behind her. Su Qiao'er hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.

Lin Wanqing was walking when he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Su Qiaoer, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Qiao'er, why are you following me?"

There was a gentle smile in her tone, as if she didn't mind Su Qiaoer following her.

Su Qiao'er was startled, then lowered her head, twisting the corners of her clothes nervously with her hands, and replied softly, "Madam, I... I actually have something I want to tell you."

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly and motioned for her to continue.

"My cousin will be coming to live in the Prince's Mansion in a few days."

Su Qiaoer finally plucked up the courage and finished her words in one breath, then secretly looked up at Lin Wanqing, fearing that she would be unhappy.

"Oh? Your cousin?"

Lin Wanqing nodded gently, and said in a gentle tone, "Then why did she suddenly come to live in the Prince's Mansion?"

Su Qiaoer explained somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, something happened at home and my cousin had nowhere to go, so...so I thought of bringing her to the Prince's Mansion to stay for a while."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

She understood Su Qiaoer's dilemma and worries, and admired her courage to stand up for her family.

"Qiao'er, I'm very happy that you have this intention."

Lin Wanqing patted Su Qiaoer's shoulder gently.

"When your cousin comes, let her live in your yard. I will have someone prepare some daily necessities for her."

Su Qiao'er's eyes reddened upon hearing this, and she quickly knelt down to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Madam! I thank you on behalf of my cousin!"

Lin Wanqing quickly helped her up and said with a smile, "Come on, don't be like this. We are all family. Why should we be so polite?"

After Su Qiaoer left, Lin Wanqing and Pei'er continued to stroll among the flower paths.

The air is filled with a faint floral scent and a hint of subtle emotions.

Pei'er gently tugged at Lin Wanqing's sleeve, confusion flashing in her bright eyes.

"Madam, why did you so easily agree to Su Qiao'er's request? I have a feeling that this time she is not simply trying to help her cousin, but may have other motives."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing smiled faintly, but there was a deep light in his eyes.

"Pei'er, I have always known that you are thoughtful, but I just want to lure the snake out of its hole." When Lin Wanqing heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

She knew that there were many people in the Prince's Mansion, so it was normal for relatives to visit occasionally.
