She still wanted to question further, but when Zhen Yu softly cried out in her arms, she immediately shifted her attention and no longer pursued the matter. However, Zhen Yu only cried out once more before she fell deep asleep.
The horse carriage travelled all the way back to the Prince Hao Residence. Upon arriving, Ruo Yuan and Hong Li supported Zhen Yu down the carriage and helped her all the way to the private room in the side courtyard where Liu Yinyin was also staying.
“Ruo Yuan, go and prepare some red bean soup for her to eat when she wakes up.”
Acknowledging the order, Ruo Yuan immediately ran to the kitchen.
Liu Yinyin blinked her eyes when she saw Zhen Yu with her red and swollen eyes. She’ll only cry to this extent when she’s extremely sad. She walked up to Zhen Yu and helped her smoothen out her knitted brow, softly saying, “Don’t be scared; everything will pass. I will play with you in the future.”
“Xi-er, leave this place to the fat lass. Follow me back to the main courtyard.”
Su Xi-er was unwilling. “You can go back first. I’ll wait for her to wake up.”
“Are you coming back?”
Noticing the displeasure on his face, she walked over and softly replied, “Go back first; I’ll head over soon.”
Pei Qianhao whispered into her ear. “Sometimes, this Prince really hates that kindness of yours.” He then let go of her and walked out of the room.
I can’t stay here any longer. Otherwise, when Zhen Yu wakes up, she’s going to recognise me as Rong Qing again.
At the thought of Rong Qing, Pei Qianhao’s gaze deepened.
There are some matters I must clarify with Aunt Rong. Who exactly did the Pei Family offend back then? My parents' mouths were zipped; they only claimed that it was some grudges from the past and suggested that we should just forget about it. But I must get to the bottom of this!

When Ruo Yuan carried the bowl of red bean soup into the room, Zhen Yu still hadn’t woken up.
“Place the red bean soup on the table first.” Su Xi-er instructed before sitting on the edge of the bed and holding Zhen Yu’s hand. “As long as you wake up, everything will be fine.”
“Brother Hu, Brother Hu!” Zhen Yu suddenly yelled. She immediately sat up and surveyed her surroundings in confusion. Where is this place?
“Zhen Yu, it’s fine now.” Su Xi-er patted her shoulder, then turned to Ruo Yuan. “Bring the red bean soup over.”
Ruo Yuan carried the bowl over. “Princess Consort, be careful; it’s hot.”
Su Xi-er nodded and used a handkerchief to hold the bowl. She scooped a little and blew on it before passing it to Zhen Yu. “Drink it slowly. You have to nourish your body well.”
Zhen Yu stared at her in a daze for a long while before she finally opened her mouth and slowly drank the soup.
When she had drunk half of the bowl, a guard suddenly came to report. “Princess Consort, Commandery Princess Xie is kneeling before the entrance of the residence; she’s requesting to meet you.”
Hearing the word ‘Xie’, Zhen Yu’s body started.
Su Xi-er placed the bowl down. “Ruo Yuan, feed Zhen Yu. I’ll be back in a while.”
There would be intermittent periods of rain tonight. When Su Xi-er had gone to the wooden house in the mountains, the rain had already stopped, but it was beginning to rain again, but fortunately, it was just a drizzle.
After Feng Changqing noticed the drizzle, he immediately held an oil-paper umbrella and shielded her from the rain all the way until the entrance.
Pei Qianhao had decided to completely let Su Xi-er handle this matter.
Although it was a drizzle, Xie Liuli still got wet, and some of her hair was sticking to her forehead. When she spotted Su Xi-er, she immediately burst out, “Princess Consort, my brother has committed a grave mistake. I...”
