Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

After lunch, Su Qianrou went to take a nap, but she was woken up by Chunzhu just as she fell asleep.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up, Your Highness."

Su Qianrou opened her eyes groggily and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, the royal guard requests an audience."

"What's the matter?"

"They say they caught a thief who trespassed into the Prince's mansion, and that thief is insisting on seeing you."

"Thief? What thief?"

"This servant does not know."

Su Qianrou had no choice but to get up.

Then, we arrived at the main hall.

"This humble servant greets Your Highness."

No need for formalities.

"Thank you, Princess Consort."

Su Qianrou walked to the couch and sat down, then asked, "I wonder who the thief that Guard Wang mentioned is?"

"Your Highness, he said his name is Li Peiyi and he is your younger brother."

Su Qianrou was surprised to find it was Li Peiyi and excitedly asked, "Where is he now?"

"In the garden".

"Quickly, bring him here."

"Yes, I shall take my leave."

Not long after, Li Peiyi walked in, "Sister Qianrou."

"Are you alright?"

"no".

"That's good then," he said helplessly, then added, "You think you can just barge into the Prince's mansion like that?"

"I told them I was looking for you, but they wouldn't let me," so he had no choice but to force his way in.

"It's my fault for not telling the gatekeeper in advance. By the way, when did you get back?"

Yesterday, no one but him knew how many horses he had died trying to make it to her wedding.

"Did you find anything?"

"no".

"Not even a single clue?"

"That memorial seemed to have vanished into thin air, without a trace, and its whereabouts could not be found at all."

"Could you have misheard me?"

"will not".

"Is it possible that General Liu never submitted the memorial at all, and was just deceiving Liu Mingye?"

This possibility cannot be ruled out, so Li Peiyi remained silent.

Seeing that he was in low spirits, Su Qianrou said, "Perhaps we can check General Liu's former attendants. Maybe he will know something. By the way, you once lived in the general's mansion, so you should know him."

"I know him. His name is Yuan Shan. He's currently in the Liu family's military camp."

"You mean he's currently in the Liu family's military camp?"

"Ok".

Su Qianrou pondered for a moment and said, "Here's what I'll do. I'll write a letter, and you can send it to the military camp immediately and give it to my uncle."

"it is good".

In the afternoon, Su Qianrou lay in a rocking chair reading a storybook.

Mu Jinchen walked in, "This storybook is just so good."

Upon hearing this, Su Qianrou looked at him and said, "Your Highness is back," without showing any intention of getting up.

Mu Jinchen didn't pay any attention, walked to the couch and sat down, then asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"not yet".

"Then we must have a meal."

"Wait, let me finish reading this chapter."

Mu Jinchen didn't say anything more and just drank his tea.

Seeing that Su Qianrou was leaving Mu Jinchen standing there, Chunzhu couldn't help but feel anxious, but there was nothing she could do but worry.

After a while, Su Qianrou put down the book in her hand and sat down next to Mu Jinchen.

"I've finished reading it."

"Ok".

"I just really enjoy watching it."

"It's mainly to kill time, otherwise how would I get through this long day?"

"You're already busy enough with the affairs of the manor."

"With Steward Yu in the manor, what do I need to do?"

"Didn't I ask him to give you the power to manage the household? He hasn't come looking for you."

“I’ve looked for them, but I’ve kept the ledgers and the warehouse keys.”

"Then why did you say you weren't busy?"

“Your Highness, I’ve only been married into this family for two days. Besides, Steward Yu is managing things very well and there’s no need for me to interfere.”

"I think you want to be a hands-off manager."

"Your Highness, it's better to see things through but not say anything, so we can meet again in the future."

Mu Jinchen couldn't help but smile.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's time to eat," Chunzhu said as she came over.

So, Su Qianrou and Mu Jinchen got up to have their meal.

Mu Jinchen noticed that she had picked out all the scallions, so he said, "I don't like scallions."

"Ok".

"Yingfeng, tell the kitchen not to put scallions in the dishes next time."

"Yes".

Then, Mu Jinchen said, "If you don't want to eat something, send someone to tell the kitchen so you don't have to pick and choose. Or if you want to eat something, just tell the kitchen and they'll make it for you."

"I know, don't worry, I won't mistreat myself," she said, picking up a slice of meat for him. "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Mu Jinchen stared blankly at the slices of meat in the bowl, not touching his chopsticks for a long time.

"Why aren't you eating?" Seeing him staring at the slices of meat in his bowl, Su Qianrou realized that she had mistaken him for Su Haoyu. So she said, "Sorry, I'm used to being at home... Chunzhu, get the prince a different bowl of rice."

"Yes".

"No need."

Su Qianrou thought he was angry and was about to say something when she saw him pick up his chopsticks and eat the piece of meat. She was quite surprised, knowing that those were the chopsticks she had used.

Yingfeng was even more shocked, staring at Mu Jinchen in disbelief.

In contrast, Mu Jinchen had already regained his composure. "Why are you looking at me? Eat quickly. Didn't you say it wouldn't taste good if it got cold?"

"Ah...oh," Su Qianrou didn't think much of it and continued eating.

Meanwhile, Li Peiyi arrived at the Liu family's military camp, but was stopped at the outside.

"This is a military camp, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Please leave immediately."

"I've come to see General Yang."

"Who are you, and what business do you have with General Yang?"

"I have come to deliver a letter to General Yang on the orders of the Regent's Consort."

"Princess Regent, what proof do you have?"

"no".

"Nothing you said."

"That's right, get out of here, or don't blame us for being impolite," he said, drawing his sword and pointing it at him.

Li Peiyi was also stubborn and couldn't help but want to take action, but fortunately Yang Lin came over at this moment.

"What happened?"

"Reporting to General Yang, someone is attempting to trespass into the military camp."

"Who dares to be so bold?" He had barely finished speaking when he saw it was Li Peiyi. "Young Master Li, it's you."

"General Yang knew him."

"Ok".

"Sister Qianrou asked me to come."

"Cousin Rou'er, what did she ask you to do here?"

"Send a letter to General Yang."

"What letter?"

Li Peiyi took out the letter and handed it to him, saying, "Please make sure you deliver this to General Yang."

"Okay," Yang Lin said, taking the paper.

Upon receiving the letter, Li Peiyi immediately mounted his horse and rode away.

Yang Lin glanced at the letter in his hand, then went to Yang Wenchang's tent.

"father".

Yang Wenchang was reviewing official documents when he heard this. He looked up at him and asked, "Why are you here?"

"My cousin Rou'er sent a letter to you," Yang Lin said, handing the letter to him.

Yang Wenchang was somewhat puzzled. "Rou'er had it delivered."

"Ok".

Yang Wenchang took it, opened it, and after reading it, he quickly got up and walked out without saying a word.

"Dad, where are you going?"

"Back to the city".

Yang Lin couldn't help but be curious, wondering what the letter contained that made his father rush back overnight. However, he didn't think much of it and then went out.
