Su Xuerong was taken aback and looked at her.
Chen Siyi's voice carried a hint of desolation: "What good outcome could I possibly have if I went? I would only end up as one of his concubines in the palace."
Su Xuerong was slightly surprised, but didn't know what to say.
Chen Siyi said softly, "The prince said he could help me and take me as his concubine..."
Just a few days ago, Xiao Yuan had spoken with her after receiving Xiao Cheng's letter.

You must come!"
After saying that, he handed her an exquisite invitation: "Old Madam Cui is also very curious about what kind of clever and charming fiancée Mr. Ling is so fond of. She specially asked me to bring it to you."
