Xiao Yunxi was relieved, but Lin Wan'er was still struggling.

She touched the two small porcelain bottles in her hands. Many days had passed, but she still hadn't decided which one to use.

Of course, she didn't have the chance to come into contact with Xiao Yunxi and Lu Jingting.

"Auntie...Auntie?"

Qing'er came in panting and found Lin Wan'er sitting in a chair in a daze.

She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Lin Wan'er.

"what happened?"

Lin Wan'er impatiently slapped Qing'er's hand away.

"Lu Quan just came to pass on a message saying that the prince will be coming over tonight."

"what?!"

Lin Wan'er stood up excitedly, "When will the prince come?"

God really was helping me. I was just worrying about how to poison him when the opportunity came.

"...This...Lu Quan didn't say this."

Lin Wan'er walked around the room a few times and ordered, "Prepare some water. I want to take a shower and change clothes."

"Ah?" Qing'er said hesitantly, "It's broad daylight now, the prince shouldn't come over, and even if he does, he won't..."

Seeing Lin Wan'er's fierce eyes, Qing'er said nothing more and turned to go out to ask the maid for hot water.

Lin Wan'er looked at herself in the mirror. Even with a veil on, the word "treacherous" was still faintly visible on her face.

The prince should not be here to favor her, why is that?

After taking a shower and changing her clothes, Lin Wan'er sat on the chair and waited, but Lu Jingting didn't show up until the moon rose above the branches.

Instead, it was the little maidservant beside Hongyu who came.

"Tsk," the little maid looked at Lin Wan'er with disdain, "Our aunt asked me to tell you that the prince has already stayed at Aunt Cui's place, so you'd better not wait any longer."

Lin Wan'er's face turned ashen, and her eyes stared at Qing'er as if filled with poison.

Qing'er knelt down quickly, "Aunt, it was indeed Lu Quan who came to deliver the message today. I dare not say anything nonsense."

Liu Er also advised, "Perhaps the prince forgot..."

Lin Wan'er closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, "All of you go out."

Liu'er stepped forward and helped Qing'er up, and the two left quickly.

Lin Wan'er sat like this all night without moving a single step.

The next day, she went to Feiyu Pavilion to pay her respects. She knelt on the ground with her head down, listening to Xiao Yunxi, Hongyu and Cuiwei chatting.

"Princess, in a few days, the old lady will also celebrate her birthday."

Xiao Yunxi nodded, "Yes, the old lady is planning to invite the Dong family and my family to come over to have some fun together."

Lin Wan'er's heart moved. People from the Dong family and the Ningguo Mansion were coming!

If the identities of Lu Ze and Lu Yuan were revealed in front of everyone...

Even if Xiao Yunxi could endure it, the Ningguo Mansion certainly couldn't.

By then, Xiao Yunxi will definitely divorce the prince, and Lu Zhan will lose his support...

A gleam of light flashed in Lin Wan'er's eyes.

Xiao Yunxi raised her eyebrows. The opportunity has been given, so don’t miss it.

She raised her voice slightly, “I’m also planning to invite a few women from big families to come over and liven things up.

Let Zhan Er show his face."

Hongyu smiled and said, "I am a humble servant, and can only enjoy the joy in the courtyard."

Xiao Yunxi took a sip of tea and continued, "It's okay. I'll arrange a corner for you guys. It won't affect anything when you watch the show or eat."

"Thank you very much, Princess."

Seeing that the housekeepers had arrived one after another, Hongyu and the others took their leave, knowing that Xiao Yunxi had to take care of the chores.

After lunch, Xiao Yunxi received replies from Xiao Jingchen and Mu Qingyun.

The letter said that he would come to the Zhennan Palace on time for the banquet.

Chunxiao came in with some fruit, "Princess, Liu'er is outside asking to see you."

"What's she doing here?"

Xiao Yunxi frowned slightly. Could it be that he had made some new discovery?

"Let her in."

Liu Er came in and bowed, "My Lady, Aunt Lin asked me to come and ask if she can send these two pieces of clothing to Master Ze and Miss Yuan?"

Xiao Yunxi glanced at him and asked, "Does she have time to make her own clothes?"

Chun Xiao came over and looked through it, carefully examining it. "My Lady, this is just an ordinary little dress, the material is ordinary, I find it rough."

Everyone in the mansion looked down on this concubine who could not keep her widowhood and offered herself as a concubine. Her food, clothing and daily expenses were poor, so naturally she could not compare to Xiao Yunxi's two maids.

Xiao Yunxi slid her fingers along the cup.

These past few days, Lin Wan'er had been staying quietly in the yard, enduring Hongyu's repeated provocations and not even meeting Lu Ze and Lu Yuan once.

Now we have to send them clothes?

“Go back and tell Aunt Lin that she is the prince’s concubine and is not suitable to have too much contact with the young master and the young lady.

Especially Master Ze.

Seven-year-old boys and girls sit on separate seats.

It’s better to avoid suspicion.

Considering it’s his first offense, let’s let it go.

This will not be the case next time. "

Xiao Yunxi told Chunxiao, "Take the things and give them to Brother Ze and Sister Yuan when they come over."

Liu Er bowed and left.

At the gate of the courtyard, he ran into Lu Zhan and Lu Ze.

Lu Ze frowned when he saw her. His mother had only been quiet for a few days, and now she was making trouble again?

Seeing Lu Ze staring at Liu Er's back without moving, Lu Zhan asked softly, "Why don't you leave?"

Lu Ze came back to his senses and smiled nervously, "Nothing."

He lowered his head and followed Lu Zhan into the house.

While talking to Xiao Yunxi guiltily, he was wondering what Liu'er was here for.

"Ze'er, these are the clothes that Aunt Lin made for you and Sister Yuan."

Chun Xiao handed the tray to Lu Ze.

Seeing Xiao Yunxi's calm expression, Lu Ze hesitated for a moment and did not take the tray.

He whispered, "Mother... this doesn't make sense. Aunt Lin is father's concubine."

Xiao Yunxi smiled faintly, "It's a token of my appreciation, please accept it. Just don't do it again."

Seeing that Xiao Yunxi was not angry, Lu Ze felt relieved.

He took the tray, made the excuse of going to look for Lu Yuan, and left.

He returned to his room, closed the door, and checked his clothes carefully, but found nothing.

Lu Ze knew Lin Wan'er and would not do this for no reason.

What does she want to do?

Is it to remind him and his sister not to forget their biological mother?

Or do you want to annoy your stepmother?

He became increasingly uneasy, and even lost the energy to study with Mr. Hu.

He always looks uneasy.

Dingyuan Palace.

Mo Ruochen was playing chess with his staff in the study when he saw a man in black coming in with a report.

"Your Majesty, the old lady of the Zhennan Palace is going to hold a birthday banquet in two days. She has invited the old lady of the Dong family and the Princess of Yongning County. The second son of the Ningguo Mansion will also attend the banquet with his wife."

"Tsk tsk," the staff shook his head, "This Zhennan Palace is too shabby. The old lady didn't even have a big celebration for her birthday. She just invited a few relatives to the banquet."

"Who would look down upon a family of traitors?"

Mo Ruochen threw down the chess piece and leaned back on the couch.

"Lu Jingting is okay?"

"Your Highness, I am currently operating as normal, but I cannot ride a horse yet."

Mo Ruochen smiled coldly, "Changle was too lenient."

The aide twitched his lips. Doesn't his prince think that Princess Changle's behavior is against women's virtues?

"Keep an eye on the Zhennan Palace. This birthday banquet will definitely not be peaceful."

"Yes!"

The man in black received the order and left.

"Your Majesty, are you afraid that someone will attack Princess Changle at the banquet?"

Mo Ruochen glanced at him coldly, "How dare you, with your brain, be my aide?"

The staff was suddenly upset.

"Changle may have lost his patience and doesn't want to deal with the Lu family any more. As long as the identities of the siblings are made public, the one in Kunning Palace will not have the face to force Xiao Yunxi to stay in the Zhennan Palace.

The eldest princess can now have a legitimate reason to whip someone."

"However," the staff frowned, "there is no precedent of a county lord or princess getting divorced in our Dali period."

"Tsk," Mo Ruochen sneered, "The Dali Kingdom has only been established for a few decades, and the historian's book is not even as thick as the palm of my hand.

Besides, Changle might not just want a divorce!"

The staff saw that the prince was in a bad mood and immediately shut up.
