The Fourth Prince laughed again: "I see you're becoming more and more lawless in front of me."
Although the words were meant to be accusatory, the tone was one of indulgence and pampering.
"So, does Fourth Master agree or not?" Heyue took his arm and smiled sweetly.
"I agree to your request." The Fourth Prince said helplessly, but his eyes were full of smiles.
He smiled contentedly.
After Heyue's reminder, the Fourth Prince will definitely investigate again. No matter how secretive the Fourth Princess Consort is, she will eventually slip up.
Although this matter will not cause any harm to the Fourth Prince's wife, and the Fourth Prince will not do anything to her, the existence of Lady Li is a considerable threat to her. As long as Lady Li is not brought down, the Fourth Prince's wife will always feel uneasy.
Moreover, in the Fourth Prince's heart, the Fourth Princess Consort was no longer the dignified and kind figure she used to be.
With the Fourth Prince's warning, it's believed that the Fourth Princess Consort will keep a low profile.
He Yue is not afraid of being resented by her.
After all, the Fourth Prince's wife wouldn't openly do anything to him.
She thought wickedly, "Fourth Princess Consort, you provoked me first. Although you treated me well before, I, Zhao Jia He Yue, hate being used the most."
Especially since your methods are so despicable, I can't ignore them even if I wanted to.
Hopefully, this warning will make you behave better.
Stop having any more crooked thoughts.
The Fourth Prince would not suspect a child like Heyue.
After all, Heyue could speak well of Li Shi even when she clearly expressed her dislike for her, so why would she target the Fourth Prince Consort who had been so good to her in the past?
Heyue didn't say a single bad word about the Fourth Prince's wife. She only said that Li might be innocent, and that the Fourth Prince found out the rest himself.
Or would the Fourth Prince think that Heyue, at her age, could guess that it was the Fourth Princess Consort who did it?
He would only think that although Heyue was a bit mischievous, she was ultimately sensible and kind-hearted.
Don't those scheming people just like those who are pure-hearted and harmless?
Heyue will just be a little willful and arrogant at times, but a pure and kind little white rabbit.
Anyway, she has the advantage of being young. As long as she hides it well, even the most cunning person won't be able to see through her thoughts.
A few days later, the Fourth Prince's wife discovered that the Fourth Prince had gone to Li's courtyard, and then Li regained her freedom.
A familiar sense of crisis suddenly welled up in the heart of the Fourth Prince's wife.
She didn't understand why the master forgave Li so quickly. Shouldn't he have at least ignored her for a while?
Then she might be able to promote another woman to the position and have someone else replace Li.
For example, the newly arrived Qiao family, also known as Yu Ying.
At that time, Li's two children would never have the chance to return to Li's side.
Li then lost all leverage to be arrogant.
Fourth Princess Consort also noticed that the Master visited her courtyard less often; the only time he came was before he went to visit Lady Li.
At that time, the Fourth Prince's wife noticed that the prince's gaze was gloomy, as if he wanted to see through her completely. That kind of gaze made her uneasy, even though the prince did not say anything.
I haven't felt this way in a long time.
The Fourth Prince's wife pondered deeply, unable to understand where things had gone wrong.
Could it be that the master has seen through something?
Wasn't that all over? Why is the master suspecting her again?
Convinced that everything had been handled perfectly without a single flaw, the Fourth Princess forced herself not to overthink it, perhaps she was mistaken.
However, the master then resumed his usual doting manner towards Li Shi.
I would occasionally visit the Qiao family.
The Fourth Princess Consort had not seen the Prince for a long time.
She thought, "Master probably really does know."
At first, she didn't realize that it was the work of a girl she had never paid any attention to.
She never imagined that a child could do such a thing, let alone that her grandfather would believe her so readily.
But she had to believe that it was after Heyue met the Prince that the Prince began to neglect her.
He recalled those meetings; He Yue appeared to be affectionate towards him on the surface, but still revealed a certain distance.
She then vaguely remembered that she herself had become the Fourth Prince's wife at a young age, managing a household.
That child was so smart; I was even younger than that child back then.
In that case, what is impossible?
She couldn't help but smile bitterly; the person who had been pecking at geese all year round had ended up having his eyes pecked by a goose.
She shouldn't underestimate anyone.
To everyone's surprise, she could actually influence the master's mind.
But even if I knew, there was nothing I could do.
※
Heyue often visited the Eighth Prince's residence, chatting and reliving her boredom with the Eighth Prince's wife, as if she had regained those wonderful times from the past.
In the dead of winter, Heyue nestled on the long couch by the window in the west side room of Guoluo's house, wrapped in a thick quilt. A small table stood in front of her, and she and Guoluo played cards back and forth.
This was made by someone hired by Guo Luoluo. They hadn't played cards for a long time, and the two of them finally reunited, so they played cards to pass the time whenever they had a spare moment.
There were few women in the Eighth Prince's mansion, so there were fewer things to do. The affairs of the mansion were all handled by the steward and the personal maid, who only reported to her daily.
Guo Luoluo and Heyue were happy and carefree every day.
"Sister, won't you become lazier and lazier? Won't the Eighth Prince look down on you?" Heyue teased her whenever she had the chance.
Guo Luoluo smiled, completely unconcerned: "Let him try to find fault with it."
"How about making her kneel on a washboard?" He Yue's eyes lit up, showing great interest.
These are words that only the two of them can understand.
