Yan Yue knew her mother was right, but she just couldn't swallow her anger.

Why should I forgive so easily?

It was Yi Duli who made the mistake, and it is he who should ask for forgiveness. This is Yan Yue's only remaining conviction and pride.

Heyue held her sixth sister's hand, offering her silent comfort.

She also hoped that at least Yiduli would realize his mistake and apologize to Sixth Sister. He had hurt someone and wanted to take him away as he pleased. How could he have such a good deal?

“Mother, this matter should be decided by Sixth Sister. Sixth Sister is not a child. I believe Sixth Sister will make the right choice. If Yiduli is responsible, he should at least understand his mistakes. Otherwise, he is not worthy of being a man, let alone a husband.”

Irgen Gioro shook her head helplessly: "Your mother has really spoiled you all so much that you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Heyue winked playfully: "She's still her mother's daughter, she can't be so spineless, can she?"

"You're so sweet-talking!" Lady Irgen Gioro smiled and tapped her: "Fine, do as you please, just don't go too far."

He Yue nodded in agreement and escorted Sixth Sister back to her old room: "Sixth Sister, please rest well. If you need anything, just send someone to find me, especially if Yi Duli comes looking for you and you can't handle it."

"Don't worry, this is my family home after all, he wouldn't dare to do anything reckless." Yan Yue sat slumped in her chair, elbows on the table, chin resting on her hand, looking listless.

Heyue didn't say anything more and returned to the Thirteenth Prince's residence, but instructed Chunya to keep a close eye on the situation there.

In the afternoon, Heyue received the news that Yiduli had gone to the mansion to see Sixth Sister. After being invited into the mansion, he left dejectedly before it was even dark.

Heyue smiled with satisfaction, as long as Sixth Sister wouldn't be easily fooled by the other party.

If he isn't taught a lesson, he'll never remember it.

I just don't know how long he can hold on.

During dinner that evening, Thirteen asked Sixth Sister how things were going. Heyue told her about Sixth Sister's trip back to her parents' home and about Yiduli's visit to the mansion that day, which ended in failure.

"If I had known this would happen, what were I doing back then?! I really misjudged him before!" Heyue poked at the steamed bun in her bowl with her chopsticks, as if she were treating it as someone who was making her angry.

Thirteen snatched her chopsticks away, smiling helplessly: "What did the steamed bun do to you?"

He then kindly ladled a small bowl of porridge for her and placed it in front of her: "Calm down, it's not worth getting angry over this."

"Hmph! If he were here, I would beat him to a pulp!" She curled her lip and cursed viciously.

Thirteen frowned, looking worried: "Isn't what your sixth sister is doing inappropriate? She might suffer in the long run."

"It's just a matter of letting him suffer a bit. If he can't even endure it for a day, he'll be too pathetic," He Yue sneered, not taking it seriously at all.

“That’s not what I meant. After all, she’s someone else’s daughter-in-law. If this drags on, she might have a hard time when she goes back.” The Thirteenth Prince explained carefully, “Regardless of who is right or wrong, this is ultimately a scandal. The Irgen Gioro clan will definitely not allow your sixth sister to stay at her parents’ home. If your sixth sister insists on not going back, although they can’t do anything about it, they will inevitably blame her. There is a difference between going back voluntarily and being forced to go back. You should persuade your sixth sister. I’m not asking her to give in, but it’s wise to be pragmatic and not let others find fault with her here.”

Heyue bit her chopsticks, staring at him intently.

The Thirteenth Prince immediately perked up and laughed: "That's what I mean. Do you want me to help you mediate? I am, after all, a prince, and they wouldn't dare disobey me. If I make Yiduli admit his mistake, your Sixth Sister can go back smoothly. That would be good for everyone, wouldn't it?"

"You're quite something!" He Yue tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded approvingly: "Your idea is not bad. In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, you're not allowed to say it was my idea, otherwise that brat Yi Duli will get all cocky!"

Thirteen nodded repeatedly, but then looked at her as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He Yue raised an eyebrow, puzzled: "What else?"

Thirteen leaned closer to Heyue and whispered something in her ear.

Heyue immediately glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes: "You dare to bargain!"

That pervert, there's no such thing as a free lunch!

Thirteen rubbed his hands together and smiled awkwardly: "Master can't have worked for nothing, can he? You care about your sixth sister, but you should at least care about your husband, me."

"Hmph, don't forget, my sixth sister is also your sixth sister. You're too petty to not even give her this much face!" Heyue pushed his chest away and mocked him without any politeness.

Thirteen simply gripped her hand tightly, staring at her with a determined look, his face full of seriousness and hope: "I only have this one small request. I'm only doing this because of you, not because of your family. You should at least reward me."

Feeling uneasy under his gaze, He Yue swallowed hard, thinking that if this matter succeeded, he would have done a good job, and it would only take a month and ten days. So he nodded generously and snorted, "I agree, but only this once, no more!"

Thirteen grinned and nodded hastily.

Ultimately, if there were no other choice, Heyue would not have wanted to do this and would have made Yiduli suffer for a few more days.

Mother is right, Sixth Sister must go back, and Iduli must personally apologize to Sixth Sister.

The next morning, Heyue went to see Sixth Sister and was very worried when she saw that she still looked listless: "Sixth Sister, have you seen a doctor?"

"Why would I need to see a doctor? I'm not some delicate Lin Daiyu." Yan Yue slumped on the table and sighed, "I'm just so bored, I have no energy to do anything. But since you're here, please keep me company and talk to me."
