Upon hearing his words, for some reason, a surge of anger suddenly welled up inside me.

I really want to say, what do you know? How can a woman who can endure hardship with you be just a pretty face?

You are sad, but isn't she sad too? You have her to comfort and accompany you, but who will comfort her?

If you can't understand her, what right do you have to complain about how annoying she is?

Before she could finish speaking, she deflated, a bitter smile creeping across her face. What was she angry about? It was just a dream. But why did she feel so disgusted by the man's words?

Perhaps this is a common problem among men in this era: women are merely a diversion in men's lives, and they are never truly sincere towards them.

The elder sister was like this, and so was the woman from earlier.

She hardened her heart, withdrew her hand, took a step back, and looked coldly at the man in front of her who suddenly seemed confused and flustered: "How can someone who doesn't know how to cherish others receive genuine companionship? In the end, you're just a selfish person."

The man hurriedly stood up, his expression changed upon hearing her words, and he reached out to grasp her hand.

He Yue dodged his hand, and suddenly felt the person in front of her getting further and further away. She could faintly hear the man's panicked shouts in her ears: "No, you can't leave! We are one! You can't abandon me!"

Heyue didn't hear his last words clearly before she woke up from her sleep.

Looking out the window, I saw that it was already getting dark.

The events of the dream were vividly imprinted in her mind, and He Yue frowned. Was it just a dream, or a hint?

Although that person brought her here and told her what to do, they also made it clear that they wouldn't offer her any help and that she would have to rely on herself.

Having chosen this path, no matter how difficult the road ahead, she will persevere and nothing and no one can defeat her.

She breathed a sigh of relief, stopped thinking about it, and got up with Yu Ying's help, while Hai Lan combed her hair.

Heyue glanced through the bronze mirror and saw that Hailan's eyebrows and eyes were relaxed. Knowing that the matter had been handled well, she felt relieved.

However, Yu Ying was left in the room to keep watch, while Hai Lan was taken to the main courtyard to pay her respects.

On the way, Heyue turned to her and asked, "Did you deliver the things?"

Hailan nodded with a smile: "It has been delivered. It was received personally by Princess Dorogge."

"Did he say anything?" Heyue asked again.

“Gege Dorog said to put the princess at ease,” Hailan thought for a moment, then frowned and replied, puzzled.

She didn't understand when the princess and the princess had become so close. The princess read the letter without any hesitation. Unable to figure it out, she shook her head and dismissed the thought.

Princess has her reasons, so it's best not to ask too many questions.

He Yue was completely relieved, a smile appearing on her face. Now all she had to do was wait, secretly hoping that her judgment was correct.

On the way, they met Sixth Sister, and the two of them went to the main courtyard together.

When Lady Irgen Gioro learned that Heyue had gone to the Fourth Prince's residence today, her expression turned sour, and she inquired about Heyue's situation there.

Heyue glanced at Ama, a glance that made Malhan's lips twitch slightly.

This little devil is threatening her father now, but he can't just ignore it.

Having too many daughters is a burden; a daughter who is too smart is a headache for her father.

"Hmph, now that you've stepped forward, don't think you can easily back out," He Yue said with a smug smirk, as she recounted everything to her mother, except for what the Fourth Prince had told her.

Marhan chuckled and reassured his wife, “Madam, there’s no need to worry. Little Seven is still young. Even if he often visits the Fourth Prince’s residence, it won’t cause any harm. It’s just that the Fourth Prince’s wife and the Fourth Prince like Little Seven. Let things take their natural course. Being too deliberate would be inappropriate.”

Despite saying this, he was still feeling guilty. He recalled that after court that day, he had been kept behind by the Fourth Prince and had a few words spoken to him, which gave him a slight headache.

He didn't want it to be this way either, but the Fourth Prince had spoken, and no matter how dissatisfied he was, he dared not disobey.

Before Heyue arrived, Lady Irgen Gioro had already learned about this matter from her husband. Knowing this only fueled her dissatisfaction with the Fourth Prince.

"What does he mean by this? Is he trying to drag you down with him? Xiao Qi is still young, how can you bear to drag her down with him?" At this point, Irgen Gioro was furious, her eyes like knives stabbing at Marhan.

Marhan choked, stiffly tugging at the corners of his mouth, forcing a smile: "What are you saying, Madam? Fourth Prince just likes our Seventh Prince. Who can blame him for being so lovable? I like him too. Don't overthink it."

Irgen Gioro snorted softly, but knowing there was no room for negotiation, she said nothing more.

He Yue and Yan Yue lowered their heads and smiled with their lips pursed.

A little while later, Guan Zhu arrived, and the family enjoyed their dinner together. He Yue and her sixth sister then left the main courtyard hand in hand.

Yan Yue pulled He Yue into her room, and they sat together, beaming as they talked about the interesting things that had happened that day.

"Today I went horseback riding with a few sisters and we ran into that brat Wanyan Mingshuang. She even tried to humiliate me in front of everyone. Humph, she hurt me last time, so how could I let her off so easily this time? I got my revenge with interest and made her look very foolish in front of everyone."

As she spoke, the smugness between Yan Yue's brows faded, replaced by a layer of annoyance: "I don't know how those rumors about you got out, but it's all that brat Wanyan's fault." Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth in anger, her eyes blazing with fury, wishing she could tear Wanyan Mingshuang to pieces.

With a smile in her eyes, she thought, "Sixth Sister was caught off guard last time and fell into their trap. Now that they've come looking for me, how could Sixth Sister, with her personality, let them succeed again?"

These days, everyone in the capital knows that the Wanyan family's princess is arrogant and domineering. At the banquet of the Doro Princess, she splashed water all over her sixth sister, and was instead taught a lesson by Heyue in front of everyone, making the noble family lose face.

Although Heyue earned the nickname "Little Tyrant" because of this, she never cared about it.

More importantly, Wanyan Mingshuang suffered a great loss this time. It had been a long time since the last banquet with Princess Duoluo, and she finally managed to get out, only to run into her sixth sister again. She originally planned to get revenge, but she didn't expect to be fiercely countered by her sixth sister. She must be furious.

Heyue knew that her sixth sister also wanted to stand up for her. Her sixth sister was still very concerned about the rumors about her in the capital, and she was in a good mood for a moment.

"I don't care about those rumors. Besides, this reputation is still very prestigious. Even if I go out into the world, who wouldn't both respect and fear me?"

He Yue showed no displeasure whatsoever, and even raised her chin with a smug look: "It feels really good to be able to inspire awe in others."

"That's true. Anyone who dares to bully you will have to think twice. Thirteenth Prince and Wanyan Mingshuang, Seventh Sister, you're really making me look at you in a new light." Yan Yue's expression improved, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

It felt really good to be admired by my sixth sister. He Yue was in a good mood and ate three pastries.

A few days later, Heyue visited the Fourth Prince's residence again.

After chatting with the Fourth Prince's wife and playing with little Honghui, it was already late afternoon.

Yunying came in to report that the Fourth Prince had returned to the mansion and gone to the study in the front courtyard, and the Thirteenth Prince had also arrived.

Fourth Princess Consort instructed Yunying: "Send someone to inform the Prince that Seventh Princess has arrived."
