But if I don't make this clear today, who knows, the Prince Lan Huai's mansion might not be able to come to Qingyuzhai anymore.

She was not willing to do that!

"Impossible!" Huo Yunzhi's face turned pale upon hearing this. What bed warmer?

In a way, she's not even as good as a maid in the servants' quarters!

Back then, Prince Nalan Huai had promised to marry her as a concubine.

“How is it impossible? You have neither proper betrothal gifts nor a marriage certificate, not even a concubine's document. Who do you think you are?” Princess Fu’an continued angrily at Huo Yunzhi.

Upstairs, Cheng Qingli naturally heard about this dramatic scene downstairs.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this Prince Lan Huai is ruthless, he actually tricked them." Cheng Qingli commented with a smile.

"How do you know that it was Prince Lan Huai who lied to people?" Li Zhiwei asked curiously.

"The Lanhuai Prince's Mansion has deceived countless young ladies; it's no wonder," Cheng Qingli said without looking up.

"But do you know that woman? She seems to be very hostile towards you," Cheng Qingli asked curiously.

"Yes, we've met a few times, but we're not close." Li Zhiwei didn't deny it, but she didn't elaborate either.

"Hey, do you know Princess Fu'an downstairs?" Cheng Qingli beckoned Li Zhiwei over to come and see Princess Fu'an, who was cursing fiercely downstairs.

Li Zhiwei was puzzled, but she still stood up and walked to the window.

Princess Fu'an was only shown from behind. Li Zhiwei didn't understand what was so interesting about that back view.

“This person is your love rival,” Cheng Qingli said with a smile.

"What rival in love?" Li Zhiwei didn't react for a moment.

"In the capital, who doesn't know that Princess Fu'an is in love with Prince An? She has petitioned the Emperor several times to have Prince An become her consort, but the Emperor has not agreed." Cheng Qingli looked around for a while, but found it uninteresting, before sitting down, pouring herself a cup of tea, taking a sip, and saying.

"Does Prince An like her?" Li Zhiwei asked after thinking for a moment.

“Prince An hates her!” Cheng Qingli said with certainty after thinking for a moment.

“What kind of rival is that? She’s not even a match for me,” Li Zhiwei said.

"Haha, yes, Miss Li is to my liking." Cheng Qingli realized that Xu Heming, such a rigid person, actually had such an interesting fiancée.

"His Highness sent me to find you, he wants us to..." Li Zhiwei was about to say that Xu Heming had sent her to find Cheng Qingli to discuss cooperation.

"Never mind what he says. Today, to celebrate our meeting, shall I take you to a fun place?" Cheng Qingli asked with a very happy smile.

"Miss Cheng, I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Li Zhiwei shook her head; she was still thinking of going back as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if I get home late, my mother will probably worry.

After all, the events at the Grand Princess's residence today will surely spread some word.

If Yao heard this but didn't see him, she would definitely be suspicious.

"No, wait a minute. Later, have someone send a message to the Li family saying that you went out to play with friends," Cheng Qingli said nonchalantly. Clearly, she had done this kind of thing quite often before.

“This…” Li Zhiwei hesitated, after all, her parents had also said that she should go out more.

Make more friends.

She definitely deserves to have her own social circle.

Seeing Qinghua and Qingyue behind her, Li Zhiwei thought, surely Cheng Qingli wouldn't sell herself out?

Cheng Qingli's eyes were filled with excitement. She wondered if Xu Heming would regret sending Li Zhiwei alone to keep their appointment once he found out where they were going.
