At this moment, Zheng Shuyuan caught a glimpse of the harmonious relationship between Gu Qinlan and the old princess, and could not help but snort coldly, muttering in a low voice: "An expert at flattering."

"Shuyuan! Apologize quickly!" The old princess frowned and glanced at Zheng Shuyuan sharply. Zheng Shuyuan pouted her lips and muttered softly:

“I didn’t say anything wrong.

The old princess was a little annoyed when she heard this. She directly reached out and tapped Zheng Shuyuan on the head, and severely reprimanded:

"She is your eldest sister-in-law and will always be! If you don't know how to respect her, you will no longer be a member of Prince Duan's Mansion!"

These words were of great significance. Not only Zheng Shuyuan, but even Gu Qinlan felt a little shocked.

Zheng Shuyuan then realized the old princess's serious attitude. She had tears in her eyes and looked a little aggrieved, but she still apologized to Gu Qinlan in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law."

"Is this your attitude?" The old princess glared at Zheng Shuyuan fiercely.

Zheng Shuyuan looked up at Gu Qinlan and couldn't help but argue:

"Mother! My eldest sister-in-law didn't say anything, which means she accepted my apology. Why do you still..."

Before she finished speaking, Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Shuyuan in surprise and interrupted her with a smile, with a hint of teasing in her eyes:

"Oh? Sorry, Miss, your voice just now seemed too soft, and I didn't seem to hear it clearly. Why don't you speak louder? I will definitely listen carefully to your sincere apology."

Zheng Shuyuan looked at Gu Qinlan in surprise.

Gu Qinlan was seen wearing a moon-white long dress today, with the cuffs decorated with emerald green lotus leaf patterns. Her hair was simply tied into a cloud-like bun, decorated only with a jade hairpin.

The whole person seems like a fairy who is detached from the world, cold and otherworldly.

However, this fairy who seemed to have descended from heaven had no awareness at all.

Logically, since she had said that, a normal woman would pretend to be dignified and follow her words and let the matter go.

But Gu Qinlan was different. Not only did she not go down the stairs, she forced Zheng Shuyuan to apologize again.

Zheng Shuyuan's mood has hit rock bottom because of Xiao Wenyin's incident. She has been staying indoors and is in a depressed mood.

At this moment, provoked by Gu Qinlan, her long-suppressed anger instantly erupted, and she shouted angrily at Gu Qinlan:

"I've already apologized, what else do you want from me? Can't you just give me a way out?

"You are so beautiful, how can you be so narrow-minded and bully me? Sister Xiao used to..."

At this point, Zheng Shuyuan calmed down slightly, and Xiao Wenyin's cold attitude towards her surged in her heart, and tears began to fall like pearls from a broken string. She sobbed, pointed her index finger at Gu Qinlan, and cried:

"Wow! You are all bad people! As the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, but who is as stingy as you and won't let go? The eldest sister-in-law's mother is biased towards you, and everyone is biased towards you! Wow..."

"I'm just a poor unwanted creature! Everyone hates me! Bwaa ...

Zheng Shuyuan mixed her crying with scolding. In the end, she was too tired to scold anymore and was left with only crying and sobbing.

The old princess was frightened by Zheng Shuyuan's emotional reaction. She opened her mouth and tried to reach out to comfort Zheng Shuyuan, but was waved away by Zheng Shuyuan.

The old princess felt a little embarrassed and turned her eyes to Gu Qinlan, as if she wanted to apologize to him.

However, Gu Qinlan had already grasped the old princess's hands, gently squeezed them, smiled and whispered comfortingly:

"Mother, it's okay. I was just teasing her. Zheng Shuyuan has been shutting herself up in her room these days because of Xiao Wenyin's matter. She's depressed and I'm afraid it will cause harm to her body."

Gu Qinlan didn't want to haggle with Zheng Shuyuan, a young woman.

He observed that Zheng Shuyuan's so-called "scolding" was actually more like acting coquettishly, and her tone revealed dependence and grievance. How could he really get angry?

The reason why he provoked her was that he was worried that she would suppress her emotions deep in her heart, which would be bad for her health.

When the old princess heard Gu Qinlan's explanation, she was stunned at first, then she immediately understood his intention, and she smiled and held Gu Qinlan's hand tightly, her eyes full of emotion.

Xiao Wenyin and Zheng Shuyuan grew up together, and their friendship is as deep as that of real sisters. Otherwise, Zheng Shuyuan would immediately take Xiao Wenyin back as soon as she called.

But now, Zheng Shuyuan is deeply hit by Xiao Wenyin's betrayal.

Maybe if she just cried it would help, but Zheng Shuyuan is not the type of person who cries or makes a fuss. She keeps her emotions bottled up in her heart. If she doesn't let them out, it might really be a problem.

Gu Qinlan deliberately provoked Xiao Wenyin, actually giving Zheng Shuyuan an outlet to vent her emotions, allowing her to completely release the resentment in her heart. It can be said that she had good intentions.

Zheng Shuyuan cried for a long time, but found that Gu Qinlan and the old princess did not come to comfort her. Instead, they lowered their heads and talked in a low voice, which made her feel more aggrieved and her tears became louder.

The crying sound even reached the ears of Zheng Dinglian who was standing behind, so he specially sent Lou Wei to investigate.

When Zheng Shuyuan saw Lou Wei coming, she was about to tell him about her grievances, but she heard Gu Qinlan chuckle and say:

"Go back and tell Prince Duan not to interfere in girls' affairs."

"Yes, Princess." Lou Wei left, confused.

Tears were still on Zheng Shuyuan's face. She was about to shout, but it was too late. She could only stare at Gu Qinlan with resentment.

Gu Qinlan saw that Zheng Shuyuan seemed to have cried enough and was tired, so she poured her a cup of tea, handed it to her, and said softly:

"Second Miss, don't be angry. Drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat first."

Zheng Shuyuan looked at the teacup, then at Gu Qinlan's gentle smile. She wanted to refuse, but her throat was so dry that she finally took the teacup and took a sip.

After drinking the tea, she heard Gu Qinlan's voice slowly ringing out:

"Now that I have the strength, it's time to apologize."

Zheng Shuyuan was puzzled. The woman in front of her clearly had a cunning face, so why did everyone praise her?

Soon, the group arrived at Luding Mountain in the suburbs.

Luding Mountain is majestic and spectacular, with its back against rolling mountains. In front of the mountain is an open green grassland surrounded by lush greenery. There is also a gurgling stream next to it, which is connected to the moat of the capital city.

As soon as the children got off the horses, they ran and played on the pasture like wild horses.

As soon as Gu Qinlan and the others jumped off the carriage, they caught a glimpse of the five little ones pulling Xinyi Shewu and the others and running away into the distance.

"Shut up!"

"Dear sister, I am not late for coming here, am I?"

A crisp sound of horse hooves was heard, and Dongfang Hongye was seen riding a brown-red horse, wearing a gorgeous riding and shooting outfit, with an exquisite jade belt tied around his waist. He looked heroic and elegant.

Seeing this, Gu Qinlan was about to speak with a smile, but saw a figure leaping down from behind Dongfang Hongye's horse.

Then, the figure passed by Gu Qinlan like a gust of wind and ran to an ancient tree in front. He supported the tree trunk with one hand and pressed his chest tightly with the other hand, vomiting violently.
