Yan Yue looked at the bruise on the Thirteenth Prince's face and felt embarrassed. She was not about to accept his apology and hurriedly waved her hands: "Thirteenth Prince, there is no need for this. It was just a misunderstanding. Please do not blame Seventh Sister. In fact, Seventh Sister is usually very well-behaved. She only did it for my sake. We really did not know that you were the Thirteenth Prince, otherwise we would not have dared to do this."

The Thirteenth Prince curled his lip, his disdain for her so-called obedience was obvious; she was clearly a crazy girl!

Yan Yue chuckled awkwardly, then reached out and tugged at He Yue's sleeve. She leaned closer to her and whispered, "Hurry up and apologize to the Thirteenth Master."

He Yue was truly speechless. Who apologizes so readily? Besides, the other party didn't say he was the Thirteenth Prince. So what if she hit him? Didn't she hear him just now calling her a brat?

Although still dissatisfied, he couldn't be too aggressive. After all, judging from his current state, he had taught him a lesson.

"I was a little too rough with you, and I apologize to the Thirteenth Prince." After saying that, she bowed respectfully, her tone sweet and obedient, her eyes sincere and pure, completely different from her fierce and violent appearance that day: "Thirteenth Prince, please don't blame me. I just didn't want to see Sixth Sister suffer. I really didn't know that you were the 'Thirteenth Prince'."

The Thirteenth Prince looked at her in surprise, momentarily stunned by the exceptionally well-behaved and sweet girl before him. He thought to himself, "What a fickle girl!" But upon hearing her last sentence, he felt a burning sensation on his face.

Although the other party spoke gently, he felt even more ashamed than if he had been scolded by her. However, since the other party was showing weakness, he had no choice but to soften his attitude, lower his head, and stammer, "Never mind, it's my fault. I shouldn't have been so rude to your sister."

Huh? So you know shame now, it seems you're not beyond redemption.

Looking at him now, he doesn't seem so hateful anymore. After all, he was just a teenager. He didn't think too much when he hit her; he was just trying to avenge his sixth sister. Actually, if you really count the years, she is much older than him, so it's hard not to suspect that she bullied a child.

Thinking of this, He Yue blushed, a rare occurrence for her. However, she was always thick-skinned, so what could she do after he hit her? After all, it was true that he had taken advantage of Sixth Sister, so who cared whether he did it on purpose or not?

Heyue didn't want to make things difficult for him any longer, so she smiled and said, "Then we're even. Neither of us is allowed to hold a grudge about what happened yesterday, okay?"

Her voice was clear and sweet, with a touch of unique naivety. The Thirteenth Prince seemed to be bewitched, not daring to look up at her, and responded softly with his lips pursed.

He Yue sighed inwardly, realizing that her act of being innocent and cute had not been in vain. Although she was not afraid of the Thirteenth Prince, she was worried that the Fourth Prince would hold a grudge. It would be best to resolve the matter peacefully.

Yan Yue, who was standing next to her, quietly gave her a thumbs up and blinked her eyes, as if to say, "You're amazing, you got it done so easily."

He Yue scoffed inwardly. Of course, he was just a child. If she gave him a little sweetness, he would never remember his unhappiness. If she couldn't even handle a little brat, she would have lived in vain for so many years.

"Alright, is Thirteenth Brother still in pain?" Fourth Princess Consort pursed her lips slightly and asked Thirteenth Prince with concern.

The Thirteenth Prince glanced at Heyue, then quickly looked away, blinked his clear, innocent eyes, and shook his head: "It's much better now, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Although He Yue wasn't very strong at the time, it was still quite a serious injury for a teenager.

He Yue knew perfectly well that it must hurt, given the situation. It turned out he was still stubborn and concerned about his image; it was hard to imagine him crying his eyes out yesterday.

For some reason, Heyue's left palm suddenly became hot again. This feeling was very familiar, just like the situation last night.

Heyue clasped her hands together, her eyes darting around. She looked at the Fourth Prince's wife, then at the Thirteenth Prince. Could this change be related to one of them?

I still remember hitting the Thirteenth Prince yesterday. When I returned to the mansion, my lifeline started acting strangely. Now, I have only been with the Thirteenth Prince for a short time, and it has started acting strangely again.

It seems that the 8th or 9th must be this 13th Prince. He Yue couldn't help but sigh inwardly. What a small world! If she could, she really wouldn't want to have anything to do with him.

"Thirteenth Brother, rest well. Fourth Sister-in-law, go see Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister off."

The Fourth Prince's wife gave the Thirteenth Prince some instructions, then got up to see Heyue and Yanyue out of the room.

The Thirteenth Prince watched the group disappear outside the door, angrily waving his fist into the air. However, the next second he hissed, clutching his swollen face, grimacing, and his eyes filled with tears: "You brat, don't let me see you again!"

He Yue was distracted the whole way, unable to make a decision. After all, there had only been two abnormalities, and the alert only appeared yesterday when they returned to the manor. There was no complete certainty, and they needed to continue observing.

Since Heyue and Yanyue left, Lady Irgen Gioro had been pacing back and forth in the room with a heavy heart. Now that she saw Heyue and Yanyue returning safely behind the Fourth Prince Consort, she breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to bow to the Fourth Prince Consort.

"It's just a misunderstanding. It's been cleared up, so there's no need for you to worry, Madam, or blame the two children." The Fourth Princess helped her up and comforted her gently.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Madam." Irgen Gioro felt relieved and quickly bowed.

"Madam, there's no need for such formalities," the Fourth Princess Consort smiled, saying nothing more.

I've heard that this Yiergenjueluo woman dotes on her children, and it certainly seems to be true now.

Irgen Gioro rose and bid farewell to the Fourth Prince's wife. The Fourth Prince's wife did not linger and ordered someone to escort them out of the mansion.

Upon returning to the manor, Lady Irgen Gioro alighted from the carriage, not even glancing at them. With a sullen face, she uttered, "Come with me," and led the way to the main courtyard.

Heyue and Yanyue exchanged a glance, their hearts pounding at the same time. Their mother was really angry.

Indeed, I didn't tell Mother before, but I found out from Fourth Prince's wife today. Mother must have been quite frightened. No wonder she's angry.

Despite their unease, the two had no choice but to obediently follow, talking quietly along the way.

Yan Yue patted her chest, smiling broadly with relief: "I thought the Thirteenth Prince was quite easy to talk to, and very simple-minded. It seems we really misunderstood him. There's no way someone like him would do such a thing. Fortunately, the Fourth Princess and the Thirteenth Prince didn't pursue the matter further. If it were someone else, who knows what would have happened. You should never be impulsive again in the future." She didn't forget to give her a final word of advice.

He Yue was speechless. My sixth sister, you've been bought off like that? You're too naive.

She is, after all, the wife of a prince. Don't be fooled by her constant politeness; who knows what she might be planning behind the scenes.

He Yue always felt that the other party couldn't be so easy to talk to. After all, he was a prince. Even if the Fourth Prince's wife was tolerant, the Fourth Prince was not such a magnanimous person and would not give up easily.

Even if she knew, the fight had already happened, so what could she do? It was impossible for her to be afraid.

However, judging from Sixth Sister's appearance, she seemed to have a good impression of Thirteenth Prince. She tilted her head and stared at him for a few moments, when a guess suddenly popped into her mind, a guess that made her heart jump instantly.
