He Shuzhen was soaked from head to toe, with a few vegetable leaves hanging on her head.

The ice-cold water flowed down her thin clothes and stuck to her skin, making her shiver continuously.

This embarrassed look made the people around laugh. It took her a long time to react and she screamed in anger: "Yang Hua, you are so bold to throw dirty water on me."

Yang Hua didn't know He Shulan's identity. He snorted coldly and threw away the basin in his hand: "If you dare to come to my house again, I will not throw water on you, but feces from the cesspool."

"You... just wait for me." He Shuzhen held it in for a long time, not daring to reveal her true identity. She was afraid that the people in the Prince's Mansion would know that she was the one behind the scenes.

He angrily led Xiaoyu back to Liu Mansion.

……

Chen Lerong’s birthday soon arrived.

Chen Lerong is the mistress of the house. She is very vain and has no intention of living quietly.

He sent invitations to many noble ladies in the capital, inviting them to celebrate together at his house.

He Shulan also received it. She looked at the red post for a long time without saying anything.

Every time such a banquet was held in the mansion, it was her disaster day. Chen Lerong would try every means to make her look bad in front of all the noble ladies in the capital.

She was exhausted from coping.

Chun Xia saw He Shulan's hesitation and spoke slowly: "You are now the princess of a county. If you don't want to go back to celebrate Chen Lerong's birthday, no one will force you. After all, Chen Lerong is not your biological mother, and no one will say anything to you."

"I must take this opportunity to go back and see Bai Lian. Although Nanny Chen writes to me every now and then, I still feel uneasy if I don't see her with my own eyes."

As she spoke, He Shulan put down the invitation in her hand and prepared a birthday gift for Chen Lerong.

Chun Xia asked, "Princess, are you planning to go back to Liu Mansion alone?"

"Well, what's the problem?"

"Madam has invited all the noble ladies in the capital. If you go back home alone that day, you will become a laughing stock among everyone," Chunxia reminded.

The prince's heart was not with He Shulan, and she didn't want to force it: "Just laugh! I don't care anyway."

Chun Xia felt distressed after hearing this: "We should discuss it with the Prince. After all, the Prince is already the son-in-law of the He family."

"Still not..." Before He Shulan could finish her words, the prince's voice came from behind her.

“Chun Xia is right. Although your stepmother’s status is not noble, I am already the son-in-law of the He family, and I should go back with you.”

Chunxia was very happy to hear the prince's words, but when she saw He Shulan remained silent, she began to get anxious.

Pulling He Shulan's sleeve, he said, "That's right. The prince agreed to go back to the He Mansion with you. You should express your opinion immediately."

He Shulan responded and nodded: "Okay, let's go back to the He Mansion together tomorrow."

Watching the prince leave, He Shulan didn't understand why the prince suddenly changed his attitude, and took the initiative to go back to the He Mansion with her: "Chun Xia, I haven't offended the prince recently!"

"No! Why do you ask?"

He Shulan hesitated for a long time: "Don't you think the prince's attitude towards me is strange?"

Chunxia didn't understand what He Shulan said. The prince had a gentle temperament and was very kind to the servants in the mansion. She didn't think there was anything strange about his attitude: "Princess, what's wrong with you? Why are you so reluctant to let the prince go back to the He Mansion with you?"

"Uh..." He Shulan did not respond. She realized that they had different ideas. "No, why would I reject the idea of ​​the prince going back to the He Mansion with me?"

"Princess of the County Prince, Li Wanrong is gone. You are the only woman by the County Prince's side. You must capture the County Prince's heart."

He Shulan showed a helpless smile. Chunxia cared more about her and the prince than anyone else: "I know. Don't talk nonsense anymore."

the next day.

He Shulan did not get up early. She had a bad relationship with Chen Lerong, so she did not go to He's house early in the morning, but went there almost at noon.

He had just set out for He's Mansion with the Prince. When they arrived, the gate of He's Mansion was full of carriages.

The two of them walked into the He Mansion, and everyone in the yard looked at He Shulan and the Prince.

They gathered together and discussed quietly: "The treatment of the Princess in front of the Prince is not that bad."

"I see that they have a good relationship."

"Maybe he's pretending, deliberately pretending for the sake of us."

"With Li Wanrong gone, the Princess of the County has finally made it."

He Shulan ignored the discussion of the crowd and went to the pavilion in the back garden with the prince. There were fewer people there, making it convenient for her to look for Bai Lian.

"I saw a few people I know come to the He residence. I haven't seen them for a long time. I went over to say hello to them."

The prince nodded at He Shulan who was speaking.

He Shulan came to Bai Lian's yard and asked: "Has Chen Lerong been giving you trouble recently?"

Bai Lian, who was bulging with a big belly, saw He Shulan coming over and hurriedly stepped forward: "No, your father was watching closely, so she didn't have the chance to do it."

He Shulan touched Bai Lian's bulging belly and said, "In five months, the baby will be born. You must not let your guard down and don't let Chen Lerong take advantage of you."

"Thanks for reminding."

At this time, the servant beside Chen Lerong stood at the gate of the courtyard and said, "Aunt Bai, the banquet has begun. Madam invites you to the front yard to have a seat."

Bai Lian was about to agree but was stopped by He Shulan, who knew Chen Lerong very well.

At this time, there were so many guests in the He Mansion, and her father was busy entertaining them, so he had no time to care about Bai Lian.

Chen Lerong would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to strike: "Just in case, you'd better not go to the front yard to eat."

Bai Lian naturally knew what He Shulan was worried about, and did not refute: "I'll listen to you."

He Shulan sighed as she looked at Bai Lian's beautiful face. Bai Lian's family had not fallen on hard times, so with this face, she would be able to have a good marriage.

She bought Bai Lian to be her father's concubine, which was indeed unfair to Bai Lian. She was afraid that Bai Lian would feel resentful in her heart: "I have wronged you."

"I'm not wronged. If I hadn't met you, I would have been sold to a brothel. Being able to enter the He Mansion is a blessing from my previous life. Although your father is a little old, he treats me very well. I like this stable life very much."

He Shulan didn't know whether Bai Lian's words were sincere or just to deal with her, but it didn't matter anymore: "I'm going to the front yard. If you have anything, let Nanny Chen come to me."

"Okay." Bai Lian sent He Shulan to the door and returned to the yard.

In order to avoid being discovered by people in the He family, He Shulan took a small path to the front yard.

……

He Shuzhen, who was chatting with the noble lady, saw the prince sitting in the pavilion drinking tea alone.

This surprised her. He Shulan was so powerful. Not only could she get the prince to follow her back to the He Mansion on the day of the return visit, but now she could even get the prince to follow her back to the He Mansion.

No one knew what tricks He Shulan had used, but she took the initiative to step forward and wanted to inquire about the two people: "It is really an honor for the prince to come to the He Mansion."
