So he didn't say much to her and left her hanging. Xue Yurou had been by Yi Zexuan's side for many years, and her little schemes were already seen through by these few words.

Xue Yurou sat in an inconspicuous spot to the side, glanced at Madam Zhang's enthusiastic manner, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"What are you laughing at, Miss?" The maid beside her noticed her expression.

"We were looked down upon by someone who wasn't qualified. I'm laughing at myself for realizing that I still have a lot to learn."

“Miss, you don’t need to worry about those trivial matters. Our arrival at the Zhang residence today is already an honor for the Zhang family.”

Xue Yurou gently shook her head: "All of this relies on the prince. Only when you are truly strong will you be truly respected."

These words had a hidden meaning, and the maid didn't know how to interpret them, so she could only lower her head.

After an unknown amount of time, everyone had gathered. After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Madam Zhang sent someone to invite Su Lixia.

"It's quite a coincidence that today's garden party is being held. I imagine there are still some of you who haven't met Her Highness the Princess yet. Since the Princess is visiting the residence today, she has agreed to meet everyone."

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged bewildered glances. Some felt that if they could chat with the princess, it would be an opportunity; others felt that the princess's sudden arrival had spoiled the mood.

Xue Yurou was even more surprised, because she didn't know how Su Lixia had come to be there, and how Madam Zhang had managed to get her to come.

A short while later, Su Lixia came over.

Everyone here has some experience with this, and just by looking at Su Lixia's clothes, you can tell she's definitely a princess.

"Greetings, Princess." Given her status, although she was a hostage, she held a position similar to Yi Zexuan's.

Su Lixia has seen many such situations and can handle them calmly.

"Get up, everyone. I didn't know there was a garden party at the manor today. But since we're here, let's get to know everyone. I don't have many friends here, and I hope to make a few more friends that we can get along with."
