Marhan hadn't expected that Irgen Gioro would start to understand things better and better, and his voice grew louder and louder, slamming his hand on the table with a deafening roar.
Under such overwhelming power, Marhan's previous imposing manner vanished instantly, and he became utterly dejected.
Heyue's eyes shone brightly as she looked at her mother with adoration. One could imagine that her mother was no different from when she was young. With such enthusiasm, who would dare to compete with her?
Looking again, her father's anger had vanished without a trace. He lowered his head, looking like a tiger whose teeth had been pulled, now docile and aggrieved. He Yue admired her mother more and more.
He Yue's question completely ignited the anger of the Irgen Gioro clan. Her usual dignified and serious demeanor vanished, and she glared angrily at Marhan: "You're afraid of Luo Cha, but I'm not. I want to see how he'll explain this to me. If he doesn't apologize to our family, I'll tear down his rat's nest!"
Marhan jumped up like a lion whose tail had been stepped on, his face darkening, his teeth clenched, and he was furious: "Who's afraid of him, Luo Cha? What is he? I'll chop his dog's head off with one stroke, who dares to cheat me out of even half a penny?"
"Then what are you complaining about here? It's fine if you don't care about Xiao Liu, but you still complain about her. If you're so capable, go find that old bastard Luo Cha!" Yiergenjueluo glared at Marhan, not willing to back down.
Marhan's anger vanished instantly. He rubbed his forehead helplessly and softened his tone, "How could I not feel sorry for Xiao Liu? You don't need to wrong me like this." Seeing that his wife was still furious, he quickly apologized in a gentle voice, "Alright, alright, I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken it out on Xiao Liu. Can you calm down?"
"Hmph!" Yiergenjueluo clansmen snorted heavily, turned their heads and sat down, their expressions softening slightly.
Seeing that their father had been successfully subdued by their mother and was no longer throwing a tantrum, Heyue and Yanyue both breathed a sigh of relief.
Sigh, in this situation, Mother really has the best solution.
Taking this opportunity, Heyue and Yanyue quickly bowed to their father and mother and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Heyue said to her father, "Father, you should listen to the rumors outside more often. We are the ones who will suffer. The Fourteenth Prince should also understand right and wrong."
Having said that, she ran off with light steps.
Hmph, she didn't believe it if you said this had nothing to do with the Wanyan clan. Since the Wanyan clan dared to provoke her, she wouldn't be polite either.
She had learned that Wanyan Mingshuang's elder brother worked in the Ministry of Revenue, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to pass on certain information to the Fourteenth Prince.
After taking a few steps, Heyue stopped, something seemed to flash through her mind, but it disappeared in an instant.
Just as she was frowning and deep in thought, someone called out from behind, "Seventh Princess," and came running over.
Heyue turned around and saw Changqing, her father's personal attendant. When he came up to her, she asked in confusion, "Does Father have something to say?"
Changqing respectfully replied, "Master asked me to tell Seventh Princess that Fourth Prince has invited her to his residence. Master said that Seventh Princess must not break the rules, as it would be bad to offend Fourth Prince."
While He Yue was surprised, her anger suddenly flared up. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "This Fourth Prince actually came to my father's side. What is he going to do?"
However, she happened to have something to discuss with the Fourth Prince's wife. She had been hesitating, but now she had no choice but to go.
So she smiled and said, "Tell Father I understand."
He turned his head and walked back to his own courtyard.
After a restless night, Heyue left the mansion the next day and went to the residence of the Fourth Prince.
Upon hearing Heyue's identity, the gatekeeper immediately smiled and politely asked Heyue to wait a moment before jogging inside to inform her.
When Heyue followed the guide to the main courtyard of the Fourth Prince's wife, Yunying came out with a smile to welcome Heyue in: "Our Prince's wife has been looking forward to seeing you, Princess."
These words were far too intimate. Although he felt uncomfortable, he maintained a polite and respectful attitude, entered the main room, and curtsied to the Fourth Prince's wife.
The Fourth Princess Consort remained as kind as ever, smiling and waving, "Seventh Girl, please sit down."
He thanked her and sat on a small embroidered stool, his eyes lowered.
Fourth Princess smiled and said, "Seventh Girl hasn't come to my place in a long time. I thought she was upset that the hospitality wasn't good enough and wouldn't come anymore." There was a hint of reproach in her voice.
Heyue smiled shyly and said, "Fourth Princess is too kind. I have been busy with some things lately and have not been able to visit you. I hope you will forgive me."
Sitting here now, she felt a little uncomfortable. After all, the Fourth Prince's wife had invited her over several times, but she had refused to come out of spite. If it were an ordinary person, they would have already resented her for not knowing how to be pleasing to the eye. Fortunately, the Fourth Prince's wife was mentally strong and did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
Heyue didn't believe that the Fourth Princess Consort truly liked her that much; who would do something without benefit? Unfortunately, she couldn't figure out what the Fourth Princess Consort was really up to.
In terms of cunning, she really couldn't compare to these ancient people. She preferred to deal with those straightforward people, as it was more satisfying.
"The Prince already knows what happened last time. Li has been confined to her quarters these days, which can be considered as a way of avenging you."
What do you mean by "standing up for her"? It's as if she's petty.
Well, she was indeed petty. She couldn't stand the Fourth Prince accusing her so indiscriminately. She had never suffered such an injustice in her life.
She had planned to stay away from the Fourth Prince in the future, but unexpectedly she ended up here. Since she needed his help, she had no choice but to soften her attitude.
"Heyue has long forgotten about that matter. Besides, it wasn't a big deal; it was just a misunderstanding." Heyue blinked her innocent eyes, seemingly genuinely unconcerned.
Fourth Princess Consort smiled with satisfaction: "It's good that Seventh Girl doesn't mind. The Prince and I have been thinking about you all the time, worried that you might have been wronged. In that case, Seventh Girl, please sit here a little longer. We heard that you've been studying and practicing calligraphy at home these days. I wonder how your calligraphy is going? May I take a look?"
He Yue modestly declined, but not wanting to leave so easily, she agreed.
The Fourth Prince's wife had someone fetch pen and ink. Heyue bit her lip and tentatively asked, "When will the Thirteenth Prince arrive?"
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Princess Consort was slightly surprised and asked with a smile, "Seventh Girl, is there something you need from Thirteenth Uncle?"
He Yue did not deny it: "I do have something to say to the Thirteenth Prince, but I don't know when he will be able to come."
The Fourth Princess Consort pondered for a moment: "Thirteenth Uncle has been studying with the Prince these days and often comes to the mansion. If Seventh Girl is willing, she might be able to meet Thirteenth Uncle when the Prince returns."
Heyue least wanted to see the Fourth Prince, but seeing the Fourth Princess Consort looking so relaxed and obviously unwilling to help, she had no choice but to accept it.
