"Don't worry, I'm fine. Remember what I said. You must tell my mother, but don't tell anyone else..." Hongli instructed again, and only after he was sure the servant understood did he walk directly to the entrance of Hanchun Garden.

"Halt! Fourth Prince... We are really sorry, but we are ordered to guard this place strictly, and no one is allowed to enter..." The guards stopped Hongli warily, and the leader said to Hongli rudely.

Hongli's heart was pounding with nervousness, and his hands were trembling inside his sleeves. But he knew he couldn't back down now, so he pretended to be calm and shouted, "I came here because my grandfather summoned me. Who dares to stop me? Aren't you afraid of my grandfather's wrath?"

Hongli's tone was firm, without the slightest hint of fear. The guards couldn't immediately tell if he was telling the truth. One of the guards whispered in his leader's ear, "He's the Emperor's favorite grandson, and he often comes to Changchun Garden. Since he's already inside, he must have been summoned by the Emperor... or perhaps..."

The leader sized up Hongli, seeing his confident demeanor, and guessed that Hongli was telling the truth. This was a crucial moment, and the leader dared not be careless; if he delayed the Emperor's affairs, even his head wouldn't be enough to pay the price.

Seeing that the leader was still hesitating, Hongli angrily shouted, "Why aren't you opening the door for me? Your grandfather must be getting impatient. Can you handle that? Hurry up and open the door for me..."

The leader had no choice but to clasp his hands in a bow, signaling his men to make way and open the gate. Hongli hurriedly ran inside...

Meanwhile, Lanqin, along with Madam Song and Madam Wu, were arguing with the two male guests from the Fucha family, all from the Fucha household!

“Consort Niu, we must see Jin’s sister today. Is it possible that we can’t even meet her after she married into the Yong Prince’s mansion? Or are you deliberately preventing us from seeing her?” asked Fucha’s cousin.

"I'm telling you, do you not understand? Sister Fucha has gone to pray for blessings, and our Prince doesn't allow anyone to see her. You can only come in with invitations after our Prince returns, that's proper. The way you're doing this, sitting here making such a racket, what do you think our Prince Yong's residence is!" Wu Shi was furious. Knowing that Lan Qin couldn't directly express her anger, she pointed at the two women and started yelling at them on her behalf.

“Our aunt is ill and wants our younger sister to go back to see her. This is perfectly reasonable. Why can’t we let her? Have you done something to our Jin sister?” Fucha’s cousin stood up straight and actually confronted Wu directly.

Seeing their relentless attitude, Lanqin guessed they must have received some instructions. Unfortunately, the Fourth Prince wasn't there, and she wasn't sure how to deal with the Fucha family. She was truly in a bind. Hongli had been gone for so long and hadn't returned yet; she wondered what the situation was like at Changchun Garden.

"Guards!" Lanqin suddenly stood up and shouted, "Send these two guests out. The Prince is not in the manor today, and your disturbance here is truly against the rules. If you do not leave, I will have you arrested and detained until the Prince returns to discuss the matter further."

When the two men from the Fucha mansion saw that Lanqin had issued the order to rent the place and that her words had become harsh and resolute, they immediately lost their momentum. They exchanged a glance and could only say, "Our uncle said that Jin is his precious daughter and he hopes she will be well. He will come to the mansion to pick her up in person tomorrow."
