Having no other choice, Su Peisheng secretly changed the bedding back to its original state, including the pillow, and only then did the old man stop making a fuss.
The next day, a few familiar objects were added to the desk in the study. Whether Yinzhen didn't see them or pretended not to, his temper was somewhat restrained, but only slightly.
In the small courtyard next to the Orchid Garden, a young woman and a six or seven-year-old girl were having a meal. The girl was quiet and well-behaved, and her behavior showed that she was well-mannered.
After the meal, the mother and daughter sat together. When the servants left, the little girl whispered in her mother's ear, "Mother, when can I see my aunt?"
The young woman stroked the little girl's soft hair and smiled, saying, "It will be soon. Grandpa Su said that your aunt did something wrong a few days ago and is reflecting on it. Outsiders cannot see her. When she comes out, I will take you to see her."
"If Auntie makes a mistake, will Uncle hit her?" The little girl looked a little scared. Sometimes when her mother and she did something wrong at home, her father would hit them. Her father's beatings hurt a lot.
The woman shook her head, hugged the little girl in her arms, and comforted her, "No, your uncle loves your aunt very much."

Perhaps this is what people mean by "fools have good fortune." She has come to terms with it; after all, people can't fight against fate.
The little girl was very confused. She opened her big almond-shaped eyes and asked in bewilderment, "Mother, but the older sisters outside say that Uncle doesn't love Aunt anymore. Uncle's favorite is, well, the concubine in the mansion."
“Silly child, what you see in front of you may not be the truth. You must trust your heart. We’ve been in the manor for a few days now. Has your uncle treated you well?” the woman asked guidingly.
The little girl thought for a moment, then smiled immediately, “That’s great! That Grandpa Su is great too, Mom. Sister Liu Ying said that today, Uncle gave Yun’er new clothes and jewelry, and lots of toys.”
Yes, she's not a proper relative, just a concubine's older sister. This matter should have been handled by the primary wife of the main wife. The fact that the Fourth Prince personally intervened speaks volumes.
