Heyue was genuinely surprised. The Fourth Princess Consort in front of her seemed very easy to talk to and wasn't angry at all.
Perhaps she was just more experienced and didn't show it, or perhaps she didn't bother to argue with a child like her.
He Yue, the Fourth Prince, was a cautious man and would never allow himself to be accused of favoritism, bending the law, or making things difficult for children. His wife, the Fourth Prince's wife, would also not do such a thing, which is why she dared to speak like that.
He Yue's expression softened a bit, her lips curled slightly, and her dark eyes shone brightly: "Alright, if the Thirteenth Prince apologizes to the Sixth Sister, I will naturally apologize to the Thirteenth Prince."
She was also someone who knew when to stop. Knowing that the Fourth Prince was someone they couldn't afford to offend, she had already prepared to apologize. She had already vented her anger by beating the Thirteenth Prince, and her demand for an apology from him now was just a way of showing that she was not going to back down.
It's not so easy to make yourself apologize; you always have to get the other party to apologize first.
Fourth Prince's wife felt even more favorably toward Heyue. Apologizing was not a difficult thing, especially since Thirteenth Brother was in the wrong first. Although this girl had hit her a bit too hard, she was truly someone who would protect her loved ones, and it was rare for someone so young to know how to behave so well.
"Please wait here a moment, Madam. I will take your daughter to see the Thirteenth Prince."
Lady Irgen Gioro looked uneasy and quickly stood up. She glared at Heyue and Yanyue warningly, then bowed and smiled apologetically: "It was my daughter who was rude and didn't know the rules. The Thirteenth Prince is young, and I believe he did not mean it. There is no need for an apology. It is my daughter who should apologize to the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince."
“Madam, you are too kind. I find this girl quite endearing. She was only doing this for her sister. Madam, you need not be too upset. Once Uncle Thirteen apologizes to Sixth Girl in person, this matter will be over.”
Since the Fourth Princess Consort had said so, Lady Irgen Gioro could not say anything more.
Yan Yue hadn't expected things to turn out this way and was still in disbelief. Knowing that she was really going to see the Thirteenth Prince, she nervously grasped He Yue's small hand, slowed her pace, and moved a little further away from the Fourth Prince's wife. She whispered, "Seventh Sister, I think we should just let it go. You already beat him up back then, and it's rare that the Fourth Prince's wife didn't blame us. If we make the Thirteenth Prince apologize in person, I'm afraid he won't forgive us."
It was rare to see Sixth Sister looking so nervous and anxious, and He Yue found it quite novel. She winked playfully and leaned closer to her, lowering her voice as well: "Sixth Sister, don't be afraid. Fourth Prince and Fourth Princess are reasonable people and won't blame us. Thirteenth Prince is young and will definitely listen to Fourth Prince and Fourth Princess. He won't dare to do anything to us."
Yan Yue couldn't understand where Seventh Sister got her confidence from, so she glared at her angrily and tapped her forehead hard: "You little brat, you're really bolder than the sky!"
Heyue covered her forehead, chuckling, seemingly unconcerned.
There's a saying that goes, "The bold get rich, the timid starve." She'd rather be the bold one.
My sister once said that she was a reckless person who had done all sorts of things since she was a child. Even the street thugs were not as daring as her and scolded her a lot for it. However, Heyue still did what she wanted and still doesn't know how to write the word "fear".
Yan Yue was still worried, so she leaned closer to her and whispered a warning: "Be quiet for a while, and don't you dare say anything disrespectful to the Thirteenth Master again."
"Yes, yes, don't worry, Sixth Sister, I know what I'm doing." Heyue nodded repeatedly, took Yanyue's arm, and smiled sweetly.
With the Fourth Prince's wife in front of her and the maids and servants from the Fourth Prince's residence behind her, Yan Yue didn't dare to say anything. She coughed lightly and followed the Fourth Prince's wife obediently.
Soon they arrived at the room where the Thirteenth Prince was staying. A maid stepped forward and lifted the curtain. The Fourth Princess Consort went in first, followed by Heyue and Yanyue.
The Fourth Princess Consort gestured for Heyue and Yanyue to wait outside the floor-to-ceiling canopy, and then put her index finger to her lips to signal silence before slowly stepping inside.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, you've arrived." The boy's voice rang out with a hint of cheerfulness, but because of the injury on his face, he still had some difficulty speaking and sounded weak, but the voice was indeed that of the boy from yesterday.
He Yue clenched her fist, a glint of fire flashing in her eyes. She snorted inwardly, "Serves you right!"
However, she still couldn't understand how the historical Prince Yixian could be such a despicable person who harassed women. Or was she really mistaken?
"Is Thirteenth Brother feeling any better?" Fourth Princess Consort's tone was exceptionally gentle, showing that she genuinely cared about the Thirteenth Prince.
"I'm much better now. Thank you for your concern, Fourth Sister-in-law. It's all my fault for making Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law worry." The young man's tone was full of guilt.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Fourth Sister-in-law knows your temperament and would never do such a thing. Prince also knows this very well. If you hadn't been instigated by someone, how could you have done this?" Fourth Princess scolded.
"Thank you, Fourth Sister-in-law. Yinxiang will not do it again." The boy's voice choked with shame and emotion.
"Alright, a real man shouldn't shed tears so easily. Consider this a lesson learned. You should think twice before you act in the future. By the way, Fourth Sister-in-law brought two people to see you today."
"Who is it?" the Thirteenth Prince asked, puzzled.
"Although you didn't mean it, you still offended them. Thirteenth Brother is a good boy. He should apologize to others for doing something wrong. Fourth Sister-in-law invited two princesses from Lord Marhan's mansion to come and see you today."
The Fourth Princess then called out "Sixth Girl" and "Seventh Girl," and He Yue and Yan Yue stepped inside upon hearing this.
The Thirteenth Prince stared wide-eyed at the two people who had suddenly appeared. When he saw Heyue following behind Yanyue, he instinctively shivered, his face drained of color, and he shrank back, clutching the quilt, glaring at her warily and hostilely.
