Qiuping didn't expect that the Duke was there too. She hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a word.
The old Duke asked again impatiently.
"The Duke of this country is asking you a question, why don't you answer? What does your young lady want from the young master?"
Qiuping had no choice but to tell the truth.
"My Lord, today when my young lady was meeting the eldest young master, she was accidentally seen by the prince who was passing by."
"The young lady is afraid that the prince will misunderstand, so she wants the young master to help explain it."
The old Duke turned around and looked at Qin Lei, who immediately shook his head.
"Grandfather, you have to believe me. I really didn't do anything. Besides, there were so many people watching at the time, and we didn't see any prince passing by."
The old Duke frowned, then looked at Qiu Ping who was kneeling on the ground.
"The eldest young master came back and said that your young lady didn't say anything to him. What could there be for His Majesty to misunderstand?"
"Go back and tell your young lady that if you don't want the prince to misunderstand you further, don't make appointments with men casually in the future."
"Okay, go back. Your young lady is already married, so it's not appropriate for the young master to go now."
Qiuping looked at Qin Lei helplessly. Qin Lei shrugged and said indifferently.
"No need to look at me, Grandfather has already said it, just go back and do it."
"If your prince really misunderstood, you can ask him to come to me for verification at any time."
Qiuping had no choice but to go back and reply, but when she returned, Ye Xinxin was no longer in her yard.
After asking Chunxiang, I found out that Ye Xinxin went to Shangguan Yu's yard.
Qiuping had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Shangguan Yu's yard.
Shangguan Yu had not returned yet, and Ye Xinxin was waiting anxiously. When she saw Qiuping coming back, she immediately asked.
"Why are you alone? Where's the young master?"
Qiuping recounted in detail what happened in the Duke's Mansion. After listening to it, Ye Xinxin's face became extremely ugly.
"Damn Qin Lei, I've never seen him so obedient before."
"That bitch must have said something bad about me in front of them, that's why they treated me like this."
Qiuping didn't dare to say anything, even though she knew that all this had nothing to do with Ye Xiaoxiao.
But at this moment, Ye Xinxin was certain that it was Ye Xiaoxiao who instigated her, so she could only go along with what she said.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
"If the prince really misunderstood, do we still have to ask him to go find Master Qin?"
Ye Xinxin thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
Just when she was getting anxious and at a loss, Shangguan Yu came back with a smile on his face.
However, when he saw Ye Xinxin standing at the door waiting for him, his expression suddenly turned bad again.
Ye Xinxin looked at his expression changing, her heart skipped a beat, and then she walked gently to his side.
"Your Highness, I heard you were looking for Xinxin, but Xinxin has been here for a long time and hasn't seen you, Your Highness."
Shangguan Yu walked into the room with a sullen face, then looked at Ye Xinxin quietly.
"What did you do today?"
Ye Xinxin pondered for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
"Your Highness, Xinxin has seen that the Crown Prince is gaining momentum recently. Xinxin is a little anxious, so she wants to help the prince win over the Qin family."
"Originally, Xinxin wanted to ask Qin Lei out for a chat alone, but who would have thought that he would bring so many young masters with him."
"Xinxin couldn't say much in front of so many people, so she just said a few words and then returned with Qiuping."
"I just found out the prince is looking for me when I got back, so I've been waiting for him here. I wonder what the prince wants to see Xinxin about?"
Seeing Ye Xinxin's frank attitude, Shangguan Yu felt a little more convinced and his gloomy expression eased a little.
"So that's how it is. I went to find you because I was worried you'd be bored, so I wanted to take you out for a walk."
"I went there, and seeing that you had already left, I went to the Yuan family."
Ye Xinxin looked at Shangguan Yu pretending to be generous.
"The epidemic is now almost under control. It is indeed time for the prince to find a wife."
"It's all because of Xinxin's bad luck. Not only did she cause His Majesty to lose face, but she also failed to help His Majesty."
"Although Xinxin doesn't like Miss Yuan very much, the Yuan family is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, which is a great help to the prince."
"As long as Your Highness is happy, Xinxin will be happy too. Your Highness, don't worry. Once Miss Yuan becomes your wife, Xinxin will definitely prioritize her."
Shangguan Yu felt even more relieved when he saw that Ye Xinxin was sensible.
"Xinxin, I'm sorry to have wronged you. Don't worry, I only married her because I needed the Yuan family's help."
"Even if she marries you in the future, the power to manage the backyard of this palace will still be yours."
After Shangguan Yu finished speaking, Ye Xinxin immediately threw herself into his arms with a look of emotion on her face.
"Your Highness, you are so kind to Xinxin. Xinxin was worried that Your Highness would misunderstand her."
Shangguan Yu curled his lips, "How could it be, how could I not know Xinxin's feelings for me?"
"This prince believes in you. Next time, if you want to go out with someone, just go ahead."
When Ye Xinxin heard this, she knew that Shangguan Yu agreed with her to win over Qin Lei, and she felt completely relieved.
But she didn't know that to Shangguan Yu, she was just a woman and he didn't care.
If Ye Xinxin could really win over the Duke's Mansion to his side, he wouldn't care even if Ye Xinxin was given to Qin Lei, let alone having dinner with him.
The two of them had their own thoughts and talked to each other for a while. Then Shangguan Yu hugged Ye Xinxin and went to her yard.
However, Ye Xinxin tried hard for a long time, but ended up with the same result.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Perhaps you took the medicine too quickly. I'll go find a few good doctors tomorrow."
