Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

In another room, a bodyguard was reporting the matter to Mu Jinchen.

“My lord, it seems that Princess Ping Le knew about Prince Min’s plan all along, so she made preparations and was not fooled.”

"She knows."

"It looks like it."

Mu Jinchen was somewhat surprised and asked, "Where is she now?"

"Princess Ping Le has returned to the garden."

"Since she knew, she did nothing."

“Princess Ping Le drugged Miss Su, causing her to have relations with Qin Lang. In addition, Princess Ping Le also had someone lead Miss Qin to Prince Min.”

"Qin Zhenzhen knew where Prince Min was beforehand, so why would he go there?"

The guard hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Just say it."

"Yes, Princess Pingluo sent someone to tell Miss Qin that the master is there."

"She's quite bold, daring to even use me," he said, without a trace of anger.

Yingfeng couldn't help but complain in his heart. Princess Ping Le was so audacious because of the prince's indulgence. Everyone was respectful to the prince, but the princess was different. She didn't even get up, let alone bow. And the prince acted as if he didn't see her and didn't say a word.

Then, Mu Jinchen said, "Afterwards, Prince Min will definitely investigate. You should frame the Ming State Duke's Mansion for this matter and let him find out that the Ming State Duke's Mansion was outwardly compliant but inwardly treacherous, agreeing to cooperate with him on the surface but secretly plotting against him, intending to make Qin Zhenzhen marry him."

“Your Highness is wise. In this way, Prince Min and the Duke of Ming’s Mansion will surely develop a rift. At that time, Prince Min will probably no longer trust the Duke of Ming’s Mansion,” Yingfeng said.

Mu Jinchen remained silent, as this was not his first thought. The reason he did this was because he was worried that Mu Jingfeng would harm Su Qianrou if he found out, hence his arrangement.

Half an hour later, Su Qianrou returned to the garden and went to the pavilion.

When Chang Le saw her, she asked anxiously, "Did something happen? Why did you take so long?"

"No, on the way back, I passed by the lake and saw some orchids blooming beautifully, so I went over to take a look and stayed there for a while. I forgot the time and that's why it's late. It's my fault for making the princess worry."

"It's good that you're alright, please sit down."

“Yes,” Su Qianrou sat down beside her.

Seeing how much Chang Le cared for her, Sun Xiaoxiao felt a burning jealousy and said, "I heard that something interesting happened at the Marquis of Anping's residence last night. I wonder if Princess Ping Le has heard about it?"

"I had no idea that Miss Sun was so concerned about the Marquis of Anping's residence."

"Now the news has spread throughout the city; who doesn't know it and who isn't aware of it?"

"If that's the case, why are you asking me, Miss Sun?"

“The princess is from the Marquis of Anping’s household, so she must know more than we do. Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding.”

"It seems Miss Sun's information network isn't very good. Otherwise, how could she not know that I've moved out of the Marquis's mansion? Therefore, I don't know the details of last night's events, and I'm afraid I'll disappoint Miss Sun. However, I have heard some news. I've heard that the Marquis of Nanyang has a childhood sweetheart, but she is of low status and therefore not accepted by the Marquis's mansion. So, the Marquis of Nanyang raised her outside the mansion, and this has been going on for twenty years. Not only that, the Marquis of Nanyang also has two children with her. Now, his son is already of age and his daughter is also of marriageable age. I wonder if this is true?"

Seeing this, everyone knew that she was not one to suffer losses, so they should think twice before trying to provoke her in the future.

Sun Xiaoxiao originally intended to make fun of her, but unexpectedly, she was mocked in return, which made her extremely angry.

Yang Shanshan was still not satisfied and said with a smile, "So, we haven't even congratulated Miss Sun yet, and she has gained another brother and sister."

"Yang Shanshan!" Sun Xiaoxiao shouted through gritted teeth.

Yang Shanshan ignored her and looked at Su Qianrou, giving her a smug look.

Su Qianrou smiled faintly and remained silent.

At this moment, Yingfeng walked over and said, "Greetings, Princess Chang Le."

"Yingfeng, what brings you here?"

"Your Highness, the Prince has summoned Princess Ping Le."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Su Qianrou.

Chang Le thought to herself, "My brother is no longer going to hide it. He's being so blatant, coming directly to ask for people."

Others suspected a relationship between Su Qianrou and Mu Jinchen.

Yang Shanshan and Liu Xinyue didn't have any particular thoughts, but they were just a little curious.

Su Qianrou asked, "I wonder what the Regent has summoned me for?"

"Your Highness, something has happened to Miss Su the Second. The Prince requests your presence."

"Please lead the way, Shadow Guard."

"Please, Princess."

Su Qianrou curtsied to Chang Le before leaving.

"Princess, I shall take my leave," Yingfeng said, and then followed.

Just as they were about to arrive, Yingfeng said, "Princess, the Prince has instructed me to inform you that you should simply pretend you know nothing."

Su Qianrou looked at him in surprise and asked, "Does Your Highness know?" As for what she knew, she did not say.

However, Yingfeng understood what she meant, but did not provide an answer.

Although Su Qianrou had doubts, she didn't ask any more questions because she had a feeling that Mu Jinchen wouldn't harm her.

Then, we arrived at the front hall.

"Greetings, Regent; greetings, Your Highness; Duke of Ming."

"Does Princess Ping Le know what has happened?"

"Your Majesty, the Shadow Guard has informed you of the matter."

"Princess Ping Le, you accompanied Miss Su to change her clothes, why aren't you in the side room?" Duke Ming asked.

"Incense was burning in the side room, and I felt a bit stuffy, so I left first."

"Have you ever been to the west wing?" Mu Jingfeng asked.

"Never".

"Impossible, I clearly saw you in the west wing."

"Your Highness, are you hallucinating? I only met Your Highness once today, in the garden."

Mu Jingfeng couldn't help but have some doubts, because even now he still felt it was a bit unreal, like he had a dream in which he slept with Su Qianrou, but when he woke up he found that it was Qin Zhenzhen who had slept with him. "You really didn't go there?"

"no".

Mu Jingfeng fell into deep thought, seemingly lost in thought.

Mu Jinchen glanced at him, then looked at Su Qianrou and said, "Princess Ping Le, please take Miss Su back first."

"Yes," Su Qianrou said, and then walked out.

Then, they went to another room.

At this moment, Su Wanshan had changed her clothes and was sitting on the bed, looking completely lost.

Upon seeing her, Lanxin hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Miss."

Su Qianrou walked up to Su Wanshan and looked down at her.

Su Wanshan looked up at her, her eyes filled with hatred. "Now, are you satisfied? You've ruined me."

"You ruined yourself."

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” Su Wanshan said hysterically.

"You brought this upon yourself. If you hadn't been so wicked, you wouldn't be in this situation."

Su Wanshan didn't say anything, she just glared at her fiercely.

Su Qianrou remained calm and unconcerned.
