After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness

The second prince stood there, silent for a long time.

In those deep eyes, the emotions were as complex as brocade, with reluctance and relief interwoven into an indescribable picture.

Since childhood, he has been searching for traces of maternal love in his mother's gentle memories. Although that special favor has become a thing of the past, it has quietly carved a channel of warmth between him and the emperor and empress's hearts like a long stream.

This favor, like the occasional glimpse of sunshine in winter, not only gave him the warmth to survive, but also made him bear the weight and expectations beyond his age.

The hustle and bustle around him gradually faded away, and the crowd retreated like a tide, leaving him alone standing there. The chill emanating from his body was like frost and snow condensed in the dead of winter, making people dare not look directly at him and involuntarily step away.

The unwillingness and resentment in his heart were like waves blown up by strong winds, one higher than the other, beating against the shore of reason.

"Your Highness, please restrain your rage so as not to hurt yourself." The voice of wet nurse Xu Ma sounded at the right time, her soft and gentle words were like the warm spring breeze, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.

She knew very well how stubborn the Second Prince was, and only by using gentleness to overcome strength could she guide him out of the haze in his heart.

Upon hearing this, the second prince closed his eyes and thought. After a moment, a light flashed in his eyes. It was the light of enlightenment and the fire of hope.

"The Qin family has deep roots and luxuriant leaves. If I can get their help, why should I worry about not accomplishing great things?"

He spoke slowly, his tone showing both determination and infinite longing for the future.

Hearing this, Nanny Xu smiled meaningfully, as if she had foreseen all the benefits that would come from the marriage: "Your Highness is right. Although Miss Qin Suling has experienced many hardships, she is indeed a perfect match for you. The Qin family will definitely be grateful for your kindness."

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince's face lit up with joy, as if he had seen the dawn of victory shining brightly ahead.

He ordered: "Go and make arrangements quickly. If the Qin family is in trouble, you must do your best to help them. Don't make any mistakes."

Nanny Xu took the order and left, silently praying for the Second Prince in her heart, hoping that he would have a smooth journey and achieve his wishes.

The night falls, like a skillful painter, using dark blue as ink, lightly splashing it to cover up the hustle and bustle of the day.

Qin Suling walked through the night with heavy steps, and every step seemed to carry a heavy burden.

The worry about store taxes was like the night, tightly wrapped around her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

The moment she opened the door, a familiar warm atmosphere hit her in the face, but it failed to instantly dispel the haze in her heart.

Although the smiles of her family members at the dinner table were warm, they could hardly touch the worries deep in her heart.

After dinner, she walked into the courtyard alone. The moonlight was bright, coating all the scenery with a layer of silver light, cool and bright.

Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, an unexpected figure came into her sight. "General, you..."

Her words stopped abruptly the moment she saw Qi Qiyuan, surprise and confusion intertwined into a complex emotion in her eyes.

Qi Qiyuan looked particularly lonely and tough under the moonlight, like an insurmountable mountain, standing there quietly.

"Why do you take on the Qin family's affairs alone and are unwilling to ask me for help?"

Qi Qiyuan's voice was deep and powerful, penetrating the silence of the night and striking deep into her soul.

His eyes were deep and firm, revealing an irresistible concern and reproach.

Qin Suling gently stroked the strands of hair on her forehead, fatigue and helplessness intertwined on her face: "General, your body has not yet recovered, how can I bear to add to your worries..."

There was a hint of bitterness and self-blame in her voice, but it also revealed her deep dependence and trust in Qi Qiyuan.

Under the gray sky, even though the surroundings were shrouded in a faint sadness, Qi Qiyuan still responded in his cold and firm tone. Every word was like icicles in winter, clear and sharp, and no one could doubt it.

He paced slowly, with an inexplicable rhythm in his steps. Every step he took seemed to be talking to the silent air, making everything around him quiet down involuntarily, as if even time had stopped at this moment.

Qin Suling stood still, her eyes following him closely, her eyes intertwined with complex emotions, shock, fatigue, confusion, and deep worry. She had been running around outside all day, exhausted physically and mentally, and wanted to go home to find a moment of peace, but she was caught up in this sudden storm. Facing her partner's questioning that was slightly reproachful but more caring, she could only sigh softly, and that sigh contained too much unspeakable pain, which made her fatigue even heavier.

"Your shop was actually sealed up at the initiative of the Second Prince."

Qi Qiyuan's words were like a sudden thunder in the clear sky, shaking Qin Suling's heart.

Her already pale face lost all its color at this moment, and she looked extremely haggard.

Although she had a premonition, when she heard it with her own ears, the shock and disbelief still came over her like a tide, making her almost unable to stand.

Behind the Second Prince's gentle smile, there was such deep conspiracy and calculation, which made her have a deeper understanding of the complexity of human nature.

"First they create trouble and then pretend to help. This is a despicable act that only villains can do."

Qi Qiyuan's words were full of disdain and contempt; his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all hypocrisy and strike the deepest darkness in people's hearts.

After hearing this, Qin Suling felt even colder in her heart. She knew very well that the Second Prince had coveted the Fang family's property for a long time, but she had never expected that he would be so determined and his methods were so cruel that she shuddered.

Faced with this sudden crisis, Qin Suling was filled with hesitation and helplessness. She looked at Qi Qiyuan and said in a trembling voice, "How should I deal with this dilemma?"

Qi Qiyuan's eyes softened when he heard this. He comforted her softly, "I have my own solution for the tax issue. You don't have to be afraid of him."

His words were like a warm current, instantly warming Qin Suling's cold heart.

She looked at his slightly tired but still resolute face, and felt an inexplicable emotion and worry in her heart. She said softly: "I'm not afraid, but..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qi Qiyuan.

He stood up and moved closer to her, each step seeming so powerful and so determined.

Beneath his seemingly weak appearance, he hides an irresistible pressure.

He said softly: "This matter has been arranged, you just need to rest assured."

His tone was full of unquestionable power, which made Qin Suling involuntarily take two steps back, with gratitude and awe flashing in his eyes.

She whispered, "Thank you."

However, Qi Qiyuan's eyes suddenly became deep, and he said in a deep voice: "We still need to pay attention to Qin Suyu, she has quietly left the house."

When the name was mentioned, a hint of anger that was difficult to conceal flashed across his handsome face.

When Qin Suling heard this, she had an ominous premonition in her heart. She looked up at Qi Qiyuan with confusion in her eyes.

"She's pretending to be crazy as a cover."

Qi Qiyuan sneered, and behind that smile was a deep chill and complex emotions. Qin Suling was horrified when he heard that.

She never thought that the woman who had fought with her for everything would choose such an extreme way to protect herself. She recalled what happened today, and her heart was filled with shock and mixed emotions.

"She is indeed smart, otherwise it would be difficult for her to escape from the Qin Mansion."

Qi Qiyuan commented, his words showing both recognition of Qin Suyu's methods and deep disdain.

Qin Suling sighed lightly, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her words: "If you can escape when you are crazy, you are really tolerant and generous."

However, Qi Qiyuan just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and an elusive chill flashed across his handsome face: "Not necessarily." His words were short and powerful, as if he could see through all the conspiracies and calculations in the world.

Qin Suling looked at him, her heart tense to the extreme.

She secretly speculated on the complicated situation. The emperor's heart was unfathomable, and what about Qi Qiyuan?

As a member of a noble family, he frequently visits the palace. How cunning and scheming are behind this?

She didn't know how the future would develop, but she knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she had to fight side by side with Qi Qiyuan and face it all together.
