In the Ye family's house, in an extremely elegantly decorated room, sunlight streamed through the window lattice, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the floor.

Zhou Yunjin sat quietly in front of the dressing table, her beautiful face now filled with sorrow, as if shrouded in a dark cloud.

She gently bit her lip and murmured to herself in the mirror, "Do you think the Prince of Jin has completely forgotten about me?"

His voice was filled with endless sorrow and loss.

Xiao Cui, who was concentrating on combing her hair, suddenly stopped in her tracks when she heard this.

Immediately, she quickly comforted him, "Oh dear, Madam, you are really overthinking it! You are so beautiful and stunning, even if His Highness Prince Jin forgets everyone else in the world, he would never forget a celestial being like you!"

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Zhou Yunjin's eyes, but it quickly dimmed again. She asked uncertainly, "Really? But... but why hasn't he come to the Ye family to look for me?"

As she spoke, her eyes began to redden slightly.

Seeing her mistress's pitiful and delicate appearance, Xiao Cui couldn't help but chuckle. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand and explained, "My dear mistress, His Highness Prince Jin has only just returned to the manor today. There are many affairs to attend to, and he must have a lot of things to deal with. Once he has settled all those trivial matters, he will be eager to come and meet you."

At this point, Xiao Cui winked mischievously and continued teasingly, "Does Madam really expect His Highness Prince Jin to be the kind of person who only cares about personal feelings and disregards the country and its people?"

"You must know that His Highness Prince Jin is a hero with lofty ambitions and a heart for the common people!"

Zhou Yunjin nodded gently after hearing Xiao Cui's words, "You're right, I was too impatient."

……

Two days later, in the early morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window.

Lin Ruoxi's face was pale, and her delicate body trembled slightly. She held onto the edge of the bed and moved her legs with difficulty, slowly getting out of bed.

Every movement seemed so strenuous, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

Lying on her side in bed, Leng Qingge saw this scene and couldn't help but smile, revealing a playful grin: "Oh, look at you, so frail! If I hadn't taken pity on you and helped you out, you'd probably still be lying in bed groaning, and even getting out of bed would be a problem!"

As she spoke, she propped her head up with her hand, watching Lin Ruoxi's disheveled appearance with great interest.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxi frowned, but did not stop walking; only a stubborn glint flashed in her eyes.

She gritted her teeth, sweat trickling down her cheeks and dripping onto the cold ground with a soft but resolute sound.

Finally, she steadied herself, her slightly weary eyes meeting Leng Qingge's directly, a defiant flame burning within them. "Did I ask you to share the burden? Don't cause trouble here."

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingge showed no anger whatsoever. Instead, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, subtly lifting her eyebrows, and said with a half-smile, "Oh ho! Look at how stubborn you are. Why don't you continue?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she leaned forward and suddenly gave Qin Yichen a big kiss on his handsome face, then said coquettishly, "Oh dear, look at Fifth Junior Brother, he seems to still want more!"

Qin Yichen was speechless. "Don't drag me into your petty squabbles between women."

Seeing this, Lin Ruoxi, who was standing to the side, turned pale with anger. She gritted her teeth, glared at Leng Qingge hatefully, and shouted angrily, "Enough! Do you really think I'm like you, just loafing around all day and enjoying the fruits of others' labor? There are still a lot of things waiting for me to handle in the Prince's mansion!"

After saying this, she secretly regretted that she had suffered a great loss this time because of her low cultivation level.

No matter, when my cultivation improves in the future, I will definitely show this arrogant woman what I'm capable of.

Then we'll laugh at her arrogance today!

"OK OK."

Seeing the situation escalate, Qin Yichen could no longer sit still and hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over: "You are all my women, and I hope you can get along harmoniously."

As Qin Yichen finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes were slightly red, but she still stubbornly turned her head away, unwilling to let the tears fall.

Leng Qingge smiled faintly, but her eyes held a gentle tenderness that was hard to detect. She slowly approached Lin Ruoxi, raised her hand as if to touch her, but stopped in mid-air. Her tone carried a hint of gentleness: "Ruoxi, I was wrong. I apologize to you."

After they finished speaking, their eyes met, and a subtle sense of reconciliation seemed to fill the air.

Qin Yichen got out of bed and slowly walked between the two women. He gently placed one hand on Lin Ruoxi's trembling shoulder and gently held Leng Qingge's hand, which was suspended in mid-air, quietly closing the distance between them.

His gaze swept over their faces, carrying an unwavering determination: "You are both indispensable to me. Don't let a small misunderstanding damage our friendship. Come on, give me some face, let's shake hands and make up, shall we?"

Qin Yichen's words were like a ray of warm sunshine in spring, piercing through the invisible ice between the two women.

Tears welled in Lin Ruoxi's eyes, but a hint of relief also shone through; Leng Qingge's expression softened, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.

Under Qin Yichen's guidance, their fingers touched lightly, and as if struck by lightning, a warm current flowed through their hearts.

Lin Ruoxi's shoulders trembled slightly, a mixture of excitement and relief, while Leng Qingge nodded gently, his eyes sparkling with trust.

At this moment, the room was quiet, with only the occasional birdsong coming from outside the window, witnessing this hard-won reconciliation.
