The Fourth Prince's attitude was relatively normal, and he seemed to have calmed down. So Gao Xiuwen took the opportunity to plead for her, "Princess Jin is just a bit willful, but she is not an irredeemable person. She has been confined for half a month, so she must have realized her mistake. Fourth Prince, punishment is not the goal. Please give her a chance to repent."

“I heard that Xin’er suffered a lot at the laundry house. The nannies there always bullied her. She has been with me for so long and has never done such hard labor. It’s really tough on her. Sister, could you transfer her back to my side?”
