Nan Kezhi was very clever, so she naturally understood what her aunt was saying.
If she can please her father, she might be able to attend the palace banquet tonight.
"Auntie, I'll be going now." Nan Kezhi walked up to Auntie Liu and bowed.
Aunt Liu nodded with a smile, her inner thoughts flickering in her eyes. "Go ahead."
Nan Kezhi returned to Qingyin Courtyard and immediately went into the small kitchen, with her maidservant following beside her to help.
"Miss, it turns out the Fifth Princess can't stand the Eldest Miss. She taught her a lesson today, so she probably won't dare to wander around for a long time." The maid said with a gloating look.
She knew it! That young lady had no manners since childhood. How could she compare to her daughter? Look, she offended the Fifth Princess as soon as she returned to the capital. Serves her right!
Nan Kezhi carefully prepared the tonic soup. "Didn't you say that it was the people from the Prince Anzheng's mansion who brought my elder sister back? It's a good thing that my elder sister is being treated differently by the Prince Anzheng."

"Shut up!" Nan Kezhi snapped angrily.
It wasn't about protecting anyone, but the words "legitimate child" were too painful for her; they were a lifelong wound...
When Nan Xiang heard that his daughter had almost been murdered, he rushed back in a panic.
Nan Kezhi brought the soup she had personally prepared to Nan Xiang, only to hear that he had gone to Qingyun Courtyard to visit his eldest sister as soon as he returned.
"Miss, the Prime Minister is neglecting you more and more these days. It's all that ill-mannered man's fault!" The maid said indignantly, speaking up for her mistress.
Nan Kezhi gripped the tray tightly, remained silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "Go to Qingyun Courtyard."
