When Liu thought that all her painstaking planning had come to nothing, she was so angry that she started shaking.

If Su Wanti fails to retain the Regent's heart, then wouldn't it be difficult for her to save her son?

These days, Su Wanti never entered her yard again, and Liu never went to see Su Wanti again.

Liu didn't even have the chance to ask Su Wanti whether she had told the Regent about her son that night.

At this moment, Liu was very restless and wanted to rush into Su Wanti's yard immediately to ask her whether she had asked the Regent for mercy.

But don’t just say nothing and let people sleep in vain!

"Let's go and see Su!" Liu's face turned pale.

Seeing that she looked unwell, Nanny Li quickly spoke out to stop her.

After the young lady returned from the Regent's Palace, she keenly noticed that her temperament had changed.

In the past, the young lady was very docile and obedient, with gentle eyes and voice.

And that day, when the young lady came back, her eyes suddenly turned cold.

Although she is Liu's confidant, she also has to say that what her master and the old lady did is too shameful. The master has been in officialdom for so many years. Doesn't he have any connections to save his son? Is the only way he can do is to send his daughter-in-law to another man's bed?

However, this was the master's decision and she had no way of interfering.

I can only complain a little in my heart.

Nanny Li felt that Liu was in a bad mood and would inevitably quarrel with the young lady when she saw her. She should persuade Liu not to cause trouble for the young lady.

"Old lady, don't be impulsive. Give the young lady some more time." Nanny Li advised.

Seeing Liu stop, Nanny Li continued, "Time is short. Please wait and see. After ten days or half a month, if the Prince Regent truly has forgotten the Young Madam, it won't be too late for you to deal with her. She's in our He Mansion anyway, she can't escape."

Liu sighed, "I'm not going to punish her. I want to ask her if she mentioned An Ping to the Regent that night."

Nanny Li's eyes rolled. "Alas, old lady, you must calm down. If you ask her now, what will the young lady think? If the Prince Regent becomes interested in her again in a few days and invites her over, and she deliberately doesn't mention the young master's affairs, wouldn't all your efforts be in vain?"

"You are right. I can't be impatient." Liu suppressed her anger and said through gritted teeth:

"Look at how arrogant she is now. She stays indoors all day and has even forgotten the rules of being a daughter-in-law. She doesn't come to serve me or pay her respects, but I can't say anything to her or scold her."

"Forget it. For the sake of my son's life, I will let her go for a few more days. If the Regent doesn't send someone to pick her up after a month, it means he has completely forgotten her. Don't blame me for being cruel then. We are a decent family, and we cannot leave this woman who has lost her chastity behind."

Nanny Li turned around and curled her lips calmly.

Then he turned around and agreed, "Yes, just think of it as the young master's sake and be tolerant of her for a few more days."

At this time, Mr. He came back in a hurry.

"Master, you should be on duty at this time. Why did you come back suddenly?" asked Liu.

Mr. He looked solemn. He asked Nanny Li to leave, then closed the door, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Liu.

"Anping has another letter, take a look!"

When Liu heard that her son had written to her, her hands were shaking with excitement and her heart was in a knot, fearing that the letter might contain some bad news.

Liu took out the letter with trembling hands and looked at it.

As she watched, her brows relaxed and her eyes lit up, "Anping said he's fine!"

Mr. He nodded. "Yes, he said that he had the help of a noble person, and his problem was solved. He is no longer in danger of his life. There is no need to send Su to the Regent."

Liu was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She clasped her hands together, looked up, and chanted, "Amitabha, thank God, thank the Bodhisattva, my son is finally safe. My prayers day and night were worth it."

Then, her eyes turned cold. "My son's crisis is over, so there's no need to keep Su. Keeping her will ruin the reputation of our He family. I'll send someone to give her a bowl of poison so she can die completely."

Hearing this, Master He waved his hand hurriedly, frowning, "Don't worry, read on."

Is there anything else that requires Su's help?

Liu became suspicious and continued to read the letter. As she read, her brows furrowed and her face looked full of disbelief.

"My son said that the Prince Regent and the elders of Su's mother's family are old acquaintances. He asked us to treat her well and not neglect her."

Master He nodded. "Su's father was once my classmate. He served as a minor official in Quanle Port and never rose through the ranks. Her mother's family was in business, and somehow they became connected to the Regent. I've never heard of this in the capital, and the Regent has never mentioned it either. I doubt Su herself knows about it. I suspect the noble who saved Anping's life told her."

"But we have already given Su to the Regent, and the Regent accepted her. What should we do?" Liu's voice trembled.

Mr. He pondered for a moment and sighed, "Let's make plans after my son comes back."

They had no other choice. He Anping was far away at the border, and the content of the letter was very short, and it did not clearly state the identity of the nobleman.

Now, they have no channels to inquire about the Regent, and have no idea what the Regent’s relationship is with the Su family, or what his attitude is towards the Su family.

The only solution now is to wait.

When He Anping comes back, tell him everything and let him make his own decision.

A small town on the northwestern border.

Inside the military camp.

He Anping had another nightmare. He was awakened by the terrible experience he had in the dream. He was sweating all over, and his pillow, mattress and clothes were all wet.
