Chapter 62
Shen Qingnian gently comforted her: "Miss Lin and the Lin family have received their due punishment. His Highness doesn't care about the scar on my back. Let bygones be bygones. From now on, His Highness and I will live a good life together."
Song Xuan nodded, hugged her tightly, and then reluctantly let her return to her residence.
It was already late at night. After returning to the palace, Song Xuan went directly to the Imperial Observatory and dug up the sleeping Imperial Astrologer.
He ordered the Imperial Astrologer to immediately calculate the auspicious date for him.
With a pained expression, the Grand Astrologer began casting a divination, starting to recalculate an auspicious day for the Crown Prince.

The following day, at the Shen residence.
Shen Qingnian got up very early today. After having breakfast, she called Xiaoju in.
"How is Auntie doing?" Her auntie had stopped taking the medicine sent from the Shen residence and had instead started taking the pills that Xiaoju had taken from the clinic.
The medicine in those pills wasn't very potent; they contained only some common tonic herbs, nothing as valuable as ginseng or deer antler.
Song Xuan took a lot of good medicinal herbs from her, but the steward recorded them all and they were not to be touched.
Xiaoju replied, "Miss, Aunt Liu's health has improved a lot these days. Although I haven't met Aunt Liu, I can still hear some strength in her voice."

Under Shen Qingnian's deliberate guidance, Song Xuan felt extremely guilty and wanted to do his best to make amends.
The butler bowed and handed the prepared list to Shen Qingnian.
Shen Qingnian didn't even look at it, and simply pushed the list back: "The housekeeper can put the things away."
She won't be able to take these things with her in the future, and it's impossible for her to exchange them for money. There's no point in looking at them.
The butler smiled, carefully put away the list, and then respectfully withdrew.
Shen Qingnian was the Crown Princess and was highly regarded by Shen Zheng, so the steward's attitude was naturally very good.
“It has been a long time since I’ve seen Mother. Xiaoju, come with me to Mother’s courtyard,” Shen Qingnian said in a very cold tone.
It's time to settle the score between Madam Shen and her mother.
Xiaoju helped Shen Qingnian to the courtyard where Madam Shen lived. The once exquisite residence, adorned with flowers, now appeared quite dilapidated.
“Master was furious last time. He dismissed many of the servants in Madam’s courtyard. In addition, Madam has been recuperating, so the courtyard has naturally been neglected,” Xiaoju whispered to Shen Qingnian.
Looking at the weeds in the yard, Shen Qingnian remained expressionless. Before she even entered Madam Shen's room, she heard the sound of something being smashed—
