May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

Wen Siyu's gaze was now fixed on Lu Chengyuan, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

After dinner, everyone returned to their own courtyards. Wen Siyu kept asking about Lu Chengyuan along the way, and Wen Qinglan assumed she was just curious, so she didn't hide anything from her.

But she didn't know much. She only knew that he was the commander of the Embroidered Robe and was highly regarded by the emperor. She didn't know much else.

"The Embroidered-Robe Commander?" Wen Siyu's interest remained undiminished. "What rank is he?"

"It seems to be a third-rank?"

“A third-rank…” Wen Siyu said thoughtfully.

Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Wen Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief.

Having finally returned to the courtyard, Wen Qinglan seemed afraid of being pestered, so she quickly went back to her room and didn't forget to close the door behind her.

-

Wen Siyu was visiting the capital for the first time and was full of curiosity about it. The next day, she pestered Wen Qinglan to take her around the capital.

Wen Qinglan couldn't refuse her, so she had no choice but to agree.

Not long after the two sisters left, an invitation was delivered and handed to Wen Yuanshu.

The postcard was sprinkled with gold, and the paper exuded a rich fragrance; it was clearly no ordinary item.

Wen Yuanshu opened it and glanced at it: "Princess Anping, are you inviting me out for tea?"

Wen Yuanshu frowned slightly, then closed the letter. After a while, she opened it again, but the words on it remained unchanged.

She wasn't seeing things.

"Well……"

Chunhua frowned as well: "This princess almost hates us to death, so why would she send you an invitation for tea? Is there something fishy going on?"

"If it were a trap, they wouldn't have sent an invitation, would they?" Wen Yuanshu said.

It was so formal and reasonable, yet the fact that the person who invited her was Princess Anping made it seem a little strange.

Now, Chunhua was also confused: "So, are you going?"

“Of course I’m not going,” Wen Yuanshu said decisively.

No matter how Princess Anping invited her, it was clearly not a good thing.

"Just say I'm not feeling well and can't go. Be respectful in your reply." Wen Yuanshu casually handed the invitation to the maid at the second gate.

The maid nodded, turned around and left.

A short while later, the maid returned and said, "Miss, the Princess herself has arrived."

"The carriage is parked outside..."

Wen Yuanshu felt helpless.

They've already come to our door, so we have no choice but to go.

After changing her clothes, Wen Yuanshu looked at herself in the mirror and unconsciously raised her hand to touch her cheek.

"Miss, we have secret guards."

After Chunhua finished speaking, Wen Yuanshu finally felt a little more at ease.

That's right, we have bodyguards, so things won't turn out like last time.

Wen Yuanshu sighed and reluctantly stepped out the door.

Just as the maid had said, Princess Anping's carriage was indeed parked outside. As soon as Wen Yuanshu appeared, a nanny boarded the carriage.

In the time it took to say a few words, the old woman came down and invited Wen Yuanshu up.

When invited in person, Wen Yuanshu naturally couldn't refuse, and even though she was reluctant, she had no choice but to get into the carriage.

She thought she would be met with ridicule and sarcasm, but Princess Anping treated her very warmly: "Yuan Shu, I was really being presumptuous. I dragged you out even though you were not feeling well."

Wen Yuanshu shook her head: "Does Your Highness have any instructions?"

“Oh,” Princess Anping waved her hand, “Let’s talk about it when we get there!”

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanshu could only nod.

The carriage traveled smoothly all the way and finally stopped in front of a teahouse.

This teahouse is different from other teahouses. You don't drink tea inside the building, but in the rooms scattered in the courtyard.

The houses are nestled among the trees and grass, and they are very elegant. The decorations inside are also thoughtful, and they are more comfortable than my home.

Princess Anping took her seat first, then raised her hand and said, "Sit down, let's talk over tea."

Wen Yuanshu sat down as instructed.

After finishing a cup of tea, Princess Anping slowly began to speak: "My daughter Jieyou has been spoiled since she was a child. She has offended Miss Wen in many ways before. As her mother, I am here to apologize to Miss Wen on her behalf."
