After sending a message through her trusted confidant, Su Yinhan became increasingly fearful. Suddenly, she walked straight outside.

The trusted nanny saw this and stopped Su Yinhan, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

This old woman was an elderly woman who had been with Su Yinhan's mother for over ten years.

It was just delivered to Su Yinhan by the Lady of the Marquis's Mansion a couple of days ago. Because Su Yinhan acts impulsively, those around her are all afraid of her and dare not offer honest advice. Therefore, they sent a senior nanny to Su Yinhan's side.

I hope Su Yinhan will listen to my advice!

This old woman happened to be out of the manor today running errands. She wasn't at home and therefore unaware of the prince's questioning of Su Yinhan.

Seeing the old woman was like seeing her own mother, which put Su Yinhan at ease.

So Su Yinhan hurriedly explained, "Granny, I suddenly remembered something important, I have to go find the Prince."

The old woman held tightly to her sleeve and advised, "Your Highness, please don't be hasty. It's not appropriate for you to go so rashly. What has happened?"

Su Yinhan stamped her foot, tears welling up in her eyes, "Granny, this is what happened...!"

The old woman pondered for a moment and said softly, "Your Highness, you might as well send someone to find out where the Prince is now and what he is doing before making any plans."

Upon hearing this, Su Yinhan gradually calmed down, summoned a maid, and instructed her to quietly inquire about the situation.

Before long, the maid returned and reported that the prince was receiving guests in his study, and they looked like important officials of the court.

Su Yinhan was anxious but helpless, and could only pace back and forth in the room.

The old woman comforted her, saying, "Your Highness, we can prepare some of His Highness's favorite items or snacks. After the guests leave, you can take these items to apologize and ease the tension."

Su Yinhan thought it made sense, so she forced herself to calm down and began to make preparations.

In the Regent's Palace, Regent Zhou Yuan is listening to a report from his black-clad bodyguards.

This black-clad guard was the same mysterious man in black who had stopped Su Yinyin at the Brocade Pavilion. He also told Su Yinyin not to cause trouble.

This man in black was sent by Zhou Yuan to protect Su Yinyin. As long as Su Yinyin leaves the Su residence, the man in black is responsible for her safety.

The reason the man in black warned Su Yinyin like that was because he looked down on her. He felt she was of no help to the prince and would only be a burden to him.

Even though Su Yinyin gave birth to the prince's heir, so what? There are plenty of women willing to marry their master.

Furthermore, seeing Su Yinyin squandering money recklessly, showing no sense of household management whatsoever, just like a nouveau riche! She wasted the prince's money and was of no use to him whatsoever, so the man in black looked down on Su Yinyin even more.

So when Su Yinyin got into a fight with someone, he stepped in to remind her, fearing that Su Yinyin would only bring trouble to the Regent.

Of course, the black-clad man's thoughts were actually those of many of his bodyguards.

Little did they know, Su Yinyin had already looked down on their master, the Regent. If they knew Su Yinyin's thoughts, would they only say that this woman was ungrateful?

After listening to the report from the black-clad bodyguard, Regent Zhou Ayuan remained silent for a moment. "Go," he said, "find Yong'an something to do. Don't let him have it too easy!"

Prince Yong'an was unaware that the Regent had arranged a job for him!

Su Yinhan had carefully prepared the prince's favorite plum blossom cake and also brought a pot of fine wine that she had treasured for many years.

She waited patiently, and finally heard a servant report that the prince's guests had left.

Su Yinhan took a deep breath and carried the things to the study. When she reached the door, she knocked gently. The deep voice of the Prince of Yong'an came: "Come in."

Su Yinhan entered the study, lowered her head, and dared not look the prince in the eye. She said softly, "Your Highness, I have offended you in the past, and I have come to apologize to you."

Prince Yong'an looked up at her, his gaze cold. "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Su Yinhan bit her lower lip, "My mistake was loving Your Highness too much!"

Prince Yong'an snorted coldly, "Do you think that by saying that I won't be angry anymore? Do you know that this matter has already become the talk of the town? How are you going to handle this?"

Su Yinhan said aggrievedly, "Your Highness, how can this be blamed on me? It wasn't me who instigated my sister to do such a thing! Besides, all of my sister's punishments were decided by Father."

Furthermore, the dowry was decided by both the father and mother. And also…!

Prince Yong'an looked at the book in his hand and said, "What's the point of all your explanations?"

Su Yinhan walked to Prince Yong'an's side and grasped his hand: "Your Highness, you are my everything! I don't want Your Highness to misunderstand me, I'm really afraid of losing Your Highness."

Prince Yong'an looked up at Su Yinhan, not understanding the meaning of her words.

Seeing that Prince Yong'an was looking at her, Su Yinhan lowered her head shyly: "Your Highness, you are so handsome and outstanding, I have already guessed my sister's true intentions!"

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Yong'an became interested: "Oh, what do you mean?"

"Your Highness, you are such a good person, how could my sister abandon you!"

"What does 'concubine' mean...?"

"Your Highness, my sister's return this time is definitely to win you back!"

Think about it, you and I were betrothed since childhood. I know how much you love me.

My sister has also mentioned Your Highness to me, and every time she does, her eyes light up. My sister's love for you is probably ingrained in her very bones; how could she easily let go!

My sister said these things to attract the prince's attention! It would also ease her lovesickness and make the prince remember her!

After listening to Su Yinhan's discussion, Prince Yong'an looked at her with suspicion.

In Prince Yong'an's heart, was it really as Su Yinhan said? Did Su Yinyin love him to the bone?

At that moment, the black-clad guard silently appeared in the corner of the study.

Prince Yong'an looked at him, and the guard nodded slightly. "My beloved consort, take your things back. I have official duties to attend to. I will come to see you when I'm done."

After receiving a response from the Prince of Yong'an, Su Yinhan happily returned to her courtyard with the things.

After Su Yinhan left, the Prince of Yong'an's expression softened somewhat. "Speak!"

The guard knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, Su Yinyin's address has been confirmed. I intended to enter the residence to investigate, but before I could even climb over the wall, I was knocked out with a single palm strike. That person's martial arts were superior to mine!"

Prince Yong'an: "It seems Su Yinyin is no ordinary person, as she has a powerful protector. From now on, observe from a distance and report immediately who comes and goes, and if you discover anything."

After receiving the order, the guards disappeared from the study.

Meanwhile, Su Yinyin and her two companions selected some jewelry on the third floor. They left their address and asked the shopkeeper to send someone to deliver the items to their residence.
