King Qi's face was frosty, and the look he gave Su Qingwan was like two sharp swords, but he could do nothing at this moment.

Su Lihan obviously misunderstood the look in King Qi's eyes. She looked at King Qi shyly, and when she thought of the bravery she had just expected, her face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

"Fourth sister, let's go back."

Su Lihan said embarrassedly, but she already had the Queen's promise, so she just needed to go back and wait patiently.

"Okay, let's go back."

Su Qingwan agreed immediately. She was very happy because of the huge harvest she had gained tonight.

It’s just that Su Lihan’s hair is now messy, and she obviously needs to comb it again before going out again.

Su Lihan was taken away by Su Qingwan to comb her hair, while Su Yunrou looked at King Qi sadly. She hadn't asked any questions yet, but tears had already flowed out.

"Yun Rou, please listen to my explanation. I didn't know what happened at the time. I thought it was with you..."

"Your Highness, you don't need to explain more. I believe you, and it is a blessing for the fifth sister to serve you."

Although Su Yunrou was crying, her words made the King of Qi feel extremely distressed. However, Yunrou was not wrong. It was indeed a blessing for Su Lihan, that little bitch, to serve him once. Just as he was about to speak, a young eunuch came over and said:

"Your Highness, Prince Rui is here to congratulate you on your birthday."

When they heard this, their expressions changed.

The King of Qi did not invite other princes to the birthday banquet. Why did the King of Rui come here on his own initiative?

Su Yunrou felt panic-stricken. She was officially the concubine of King Rui, but she appeared on King Qi's farm. How could she explain this?

"Your Highness, please go and meet His Royal Highness Prince Rui. I'll go see my fifth sister and leave with them later." Su Yunrou said hurriedly.

At this time, I could only leave first, so as not to be caught by King Rui.

It was just that she had planned very well, but the words of the young eunuch made her feel cold on her back: "Second Miss Su, the Queen Mother asks you to come over as well."

Su Yunrou clenched her palms, knowing that she couldn't avoid it, so she could only agree.

The King of Qi asked the young eunuch to leave first, and then called his guards to ask, "Have you seen Dong Minde?"

At this time, Prince Qi was determined to take advantage of Dong Minde. He had originally agreed to cooperate with Prime Minister Dong's Mansion to let Dong Minde take down Su Qingwan and then let Su Qingwan become his concubine. In this way, even if Prince Yi's Mansion did not support any prince, it would be involved on his side. However, he did not expect that Dong Minde would not be able to accomplish his plan, and no one knew where he had gone.

"Your Highness, I didn't see Young Master Dong."

"Go find him. You must find him."

After King Qi gave his orders, he and Su Yunrou went to the banquet hall one after another.

Su Lihan and Su Qingwan were also ready to leave the manor at this time, so they went to say goodbye to the Queen and the King of Qi. They were led by the maid to the banquet hall.

At this time, many female relatives had returned and everyone was almost ready to leave.

When Su Qingwan arrived, the first thing she saw was Prince Rui, who was sitting below the Queen Mother and pretending to be friendly with Prince Qi.

Su Yunrou sat in her seat with her eyes downcast, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Second sister, Prince Rui is here. Have you talked to him? Alas! If it weren't for the death of my great uncle, you would have been carried into Prince Rui's mansion as a concubine. In fact, I think it's okay for you to observe less filial piety for a few days. After all, my great uncle wanted to see you rise to prominence when he was alive. You have to follow his wishes."

When Su Lihan saw King Rui, she couldn't help but make fun of Su Yunrou.

Su Yunrou was not in a position to argue with her. She just looked at Su Lihan with an extremely cold look in her eyes. "This is my business. Fifth sister, please don't worry about it!"

Su Qingwan looked at Prince Rui. This man was extremely thin, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind. He actually came here. The Queen must have some tricks up her sleeve.

"Fifth sister, it's time for us to go."

Seeing that other noble ladies had already left, Su Qingwan did not plan to stay any longer, and she did not want to talk to Prince Rui.

Su Lihan looked at King Qi reluctantly again, and followed Su Qingwan outside. Su Yunrou naturally had to leave at this time, but when she stood up, she heard King Rui say:

"Yun Rou, after your mourning period, I will go to the Marquis' Mansion to pick you up."

King Qi clenched his fists instantly and said, "Yun Rou is already mine, and you still want to take her. Who do you think you are?"

Su Yunrou's face turned pale, but she could only bow. Although she didn't say anything, her bitter look made the King of Qi grit his teeth even more.

Soon, Su Qingwan and others returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

"Fifth sister, have a good rest when you go back." Su Qingwan reminded.

Su Lihan nodded proudly, "Don't worry, Fourth Sister, I will have a good rest. When I become the Princess of Qi, I will definitely help you."

"Thank you, fifth sister!"

Su Qingwan said this gently and watched Su Lihan stagger away.

“Fourth sister, do you really think that Lidya Su can help you after entering Prince Qi’s mansion?”

Su Yunrou's voice came from behind Su Qingwan.

"What are you talking about, Second Sister? We are all sisters, isn't it normal for us to help each other? And I don't ask Fifth Sister to do anything for me! Well, it's late, so I won't chat with Second Sister here anymore."

After Su Qingwan finished speaking, she left.

Su Yunrou looked at her back, her heart beating with anger. Su Qingwan had avoided such a good opportunity today. It might not be so easy to plot against her again next time.

After Su Lihan returned, she did not rest at all, but went directly to Xiaokang and told her about what happened between herself and the King of Qi, which made Xiaokang very happy.

"That's great! Your father and his men must have protected you in heaven and helped you become the Princess of Qi."

Xiaokang held Su Lihan's hand and spoke very excitedly.

"Mother, the imperial edict hasn't arrived yet. How can I be the Princess of Qi?" Su Lihan pretended to be shy and refused, but she was already very happy in her heart.

"Since the Queen has said so, this matter is a done deal. I estimate that the palace will have news delivered in the next two days."

Xiao Kang said with satisfaction.

The mother and daughter chatted for a long time, but Xiaokang felt sorry for her daughter's pain of losing her virginity, so she let her go back and have a good rest.

The next morning, Xiao Kang got up early, just waiting for the imperial edict to be delivered from the palace. For this purpose, she deliberately went to Helin Garden and sat for a long time.

"If that's the case, then it's naturally a good thing!"

During breakfast, Jiang had heard Su Qingwan talk about what happened last night, but she was not optimistic about it. However, she would not dampen Xiaokang's interest on this matter.

Xiaokang waited for a whole day, but there was no news from the palace. She thought that there would be no news until tomorrow, but in the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door of the marquis' mansion.
