Seeing Yu Guiwan so calm, Su Qingyu felt a little anxious in her heart, "Are you really not worried? At least find someone to follow him secretly and check it out."

"If anything happens, you should be prepared."

Su Qingyu grew up watching her parents love each other. She knew that women should follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, but deep down, she couldn't accept her husband keeping a mistress without telling her. But if it really came to that, she thought she would never tolerate a mistress.

Yu Guiwan patted her hands and comforted Su Qingyu, "If it really comes to that, the worst that can happen is a divorce."

After all, she and Xie Sui were a fake couple. If he really had someone he loved, she would naturally not always occupy the position of Princess Chen.

"Cough, cough, cough." Su Qingyu choked on a mouthful of water and coughed non-stop, "You, what did you say?"

"Women don't have to marry, have children, and live a dependent life. I don't want to be trapped in this mansion because of intrigue and jealousy. If it comes to that, the worst that can happen is we can just break up."

Having experienced a lifetime, Yu Guiwan finally understood everything.

Living for yourself is the most important thing.

Su Qingyu widened her eyes and looked at Yu Guiwan in astonishment.

If other people heard such words, they would say she was a heretic. Since ancient times, every woman has been following the three obediences and four virtues: obey her parents at home and obey her husband after marriage.

Su Qingyu grew up listening to these things, and this was the first time someone said these things in front of her.

Seeing Su Qingyu was completely stunned, Yu Guiwan couldn't help but chuckle and said:

"To love others, one must first love oneself. One must be the master of one's own life."

……

A villa in Beijing.

Broken jade and discarded jade were scattered on the ground and the table.

Xie Sui had his arms draped over his neck, revealing a section of his fair forearms. He was polishing and carving a Hetian jade hairpin in his hands. He was comparing it to the drawing he had drawn, polishing it bit by bit.

So far, this is the hairpin that Xie Sui has made that is closest to being successful.

Because it was my first time making a hairpin, I wasted a lot of jade.

"Cough cough cough..."

Xie Sui coughed lightly a few times and stopped what he was doing, fearing that he would accidentally destroy the hairpin.

"Your Highness, take a rest. You have been here making hairpins and preparing for the princess' birthday these days. You haven't had a good rest for several days." Bei Chu followed Xie Sui every day and saw everything he did.

But the prince had done so many things, but was ordered not to tell these things to the princess.

"How's the matter going with the donation money to the temple and the reconstruction of Ci'an Temple that I asked you to do?" Xie Sui continued to polish the hairpin in his hand. He was very careful with every movement and would not allow any flaws to appear.

"I have done as His Highness ordered. I am doing this in the name of the princess."

"Well, we also need to find Master Chu's whereabouts as soon as possible." Xie Sui added.

"I have asked Yingyue Pavilion to find out the whereabouts of Master Chu. We have made some progress and I think we should be able to catch up." Bei Chu reported the news.

*

In the past few days, although Yu Guiwan didn't want to find out what Xie Sui had been doing in the villa, she always felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. Since Xie Sui was not in the mansion, she had some free time.

As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.

"Princess, the teapot is overflowing."

Furong looked at the tea overflowing from the cup and quickly reminded him.

"what--"

Yu Guiwan reacted immediately and put down the teapot in his hand. Furong immediately took a handkerchief and came over to clean up the water stains on the tea table.

Fuqiu frowned and said, "Miss, have you been unhappy these days?"

She subconsciously said, "No."

"No more then? You've been distracted these past few days, looking like you're worried about something. This servant and Furong are worried."

"Really?" she asked back.

Yu Guiwan didn't feel that there was anything different about himself these days.

"Princess, His Highness asks you to come over." Bei Chu's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Go and report it, and I'll be there right away."

Yu Guiwan responded.

After a long delay, Yu Guiwan finally went to the tea room. When she arrived, a bowl of wontons was placed on the table. She couldn't help but wonder, "Has Xie Sui not had dinner yet? Why did he call her over now?"

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Xie Sui's voice.

"I heard from the servants that you didn't eat much for dinner. Is it because the food recently hasn't been to your liking?"

"I brought you some wontons from the restaurant you love when I came back from outside."

Yu Guiwan looked slightly surprised. She didn't expect that he brought wontons for her.

"The food is very appetizing, but maybe I haven't been able to eat much these days." Yu Guiwan had no idea that Xie Sui knew all about such trivial matters on weekdays. She really hadn't been able to eat much these days, and always felt that the food had no taste.

When I saw the wontons at this time, I felt a little hungry.

"You eat while I tell you."

"it is good."

Yu Guiwan couldn't resist the temptation of wontons and felt a little embarrassed, so she casually asked, "Your Highness, have you had dinner yet?"

"I have used it," he said.

Yu Guiwan finally took a small bite of the wonton and immediately narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. Xie Sui caught a glimpse of her expression, a smile evident at the corners of his lips, a subtle hint of fondness etched across his eyes and eyebrows.

While she was eating, she heard Xie Sui talking again.

"Your birthday is coming soon. Who would you like to invite over for dinner? I'm sure you don't like too many people, so I'm thinking of just inviting a few close ones. What do you think?"

Yu Guiwan was still chewing wontons and couldn't speak, so he quickly nodded to show his agreement.

Unexpectedly, Xie Sui had the same idea as her. She really didn't want to invite irrelevant people over, nor did she want to invite people from the court.

She finished chewing the wonton in her mouth and nodded in agreement, "I think so too." As she spoke, Yu Guiwan suddenly noticed that there were scratches of various sizes on Xie Sui's hands.

Xie Sui noticed her gaze and subconsciously hid his hands so that she wouldn't see them.

Yu Guiwan originally wanted to ask what happened to Xie Sui's hand, but when she saw him avoiding her, she didn't ask.

"Then wait for me to draw up a list tomorrow and send them invitations in advance." Yu Guiwan pretended not to see it and continued.

"Okay." Xie Sui nodded.

Just after she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, "Your Highness, is there anyone you would like to invite?"

"It's your birthday, you decide."

"it is good."

She agreed immediately.

After discussing this topic, the two of them stopped talking and there was silence for a long time.

Yu Guiwan quietly finished his wontons and didn't stay long. After saying goodbye to Xie Sui, he returned to his room.
