The new emperor's first decree upon ascending the throne was to forcibly take his cousin as his

Yinque accepted the order and left, and then Granny Kong, who was by her mother's side, came in.

I spotted the girl reclining on a deck chair under the shade of a tree at a glance.

With her crescent-shaped eyebrows and the gentle caress of spring peach blossoms, there was no woman in the entire capital more beautiful than her.

"This old servant greets the young lady."

"Granny Kong? Is something wrong with Mother?"

"The household needs to make new clothes, and the madam asked this old servant to help the young lady choose some styles."

As he spoke, the maid behind him handed him the pattern.

She had enough clothes and didn't need any new ones, so she just picked out two sets.

"Why are you making new clothes at this time?" she asked.

"It was the lady's order that she made new clothes for the young lady to wear when she goes out."

She doesn't go out often, at most she'll go to a village, and she doesn't need to change into new clothes, but no one asked her any questions.

No sooner had Granny Kong left than a maid rushed in, shouting, "Miss, something terrible has happened!"

Yinque was the first to rebuke, "You impetuous maid, how dare you be so unruly in front of the young lady?"

The maidservant lowered her head, her voice trembling, "Miss, this is truly a very important matter."

"What's the matter that's causing such a panic?"

"Just now, I overheard the matrons in the main courtyard talking. They said that the master and madam went out today."

"My parents have a good relationship, what's so strange about them going out together?"

"But I heard... that the master and mistress went to look for someone."

Ruan Xianrong hadn't paid much attention at first, but upon hearing these words, she immediately realized something.

"Who should I look for?"

The maid stammered, and Yinque, growing impatient, said, "Just tell me!"

"They said...they said they went to find the real daughter of the Prime Minister's family!"

"They even said the girl wasn't their biological child and that they wanted to bring their biological child back."

Upon hearing this, Yinque's expression changed. She looked at the person on the recliner, then turned and rebuked, "How could that be! The young lady is the daughter of the Prime Minister's family. What nonsense is this about 'true' or 'false'?"

The maidservant said timidly, "I was ordered by my mistress to deliver fruit to the madam, and I only overheard a few words, but..."

Although I haven't heard it often, that's definitely what they say.

"You silly girl, if you keep talking nonsense, the girl will punish you!"

Silver Sparrow was furious.

The girl is so beautiful, she must be the lady's own daughter. How could some real one suddenly appear out of nowhere?

Ruan Xianrong popped a grape into her mouth, her expression unchanged, though she was even a little excited inside.

No wonder they made her new clothes; they're preparing her for a blind date.

She's here, she's here! The real heiress has finally arrived.

It arrived a little earlier than expected, but it's not a big problem.

The earlier the female lead arrives, the sooner she can leave the capital and escape justice... no, she can go and live a carefree life.

However, the Ruan family couldn't be found for the time being. The plot had moved forward, and she didn't know where the female lead was now, but that wasn't her concern.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Yinque assumed she was upset and comforted her, "Miss, don't listen to her nonsense."

Ruan Xianrong looked at her, "Yinque, if I really weren't the daughter of the Prime Minister, would you still be with me?"

"Of course! No matter what your status is, I will stay with you."

"In that case, please take a thorough inventory of everything in the yard over the next two days."

Yinque was stunned for a moment, "Miss, you..."

"Just do as I say."

Others might not believe it, but only she knows how convincingly she was lying.

Even when the female protagonist returns in the book, her parents do not drive her away and treat her the same as before. However, just in case, it is best for her to stay away from this place of trouble.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Ruan Xianrong got up, dressed up, and went out with Yinque.

The manor in the west of the city was a gift from her father when she was twelve years old.

She also bought a large area of ​​land in the surrounding area and turned it into a manor, recruiting nearby villagers to look after the manor and farm for her.

Before the carriage even stopped, she could see vast fields in the distance, lush and green, all of which were the land she had conquered.

Once she leaves the Prime Minister's residence, she can come here to live, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn; that would be nice.

Upon entering the waterside pavilion, Yinque quickly rolled up the curtains on all four sides and placed ice blocks inside to cool it down.

The garden was bustling with activity. Ruan Xianrong squeezed herself a glass of juice, added ice, took a sip, and sighed contentedly.

She has hired guards, servants, and maids for her estate. The surrounding area is full of farmers who grow crops for her. She lacks nothing. In the future, the lives of the male and female protagonists will not be as good as hers.

He lay down on the low couch and fell asleep. When he woke up and saw no one, he asked Yinque, "Has no one come yet?"

"Reporting to Miss, I just checked the gate and didn't see the carriage."

Ruan Xianrong clicked her tongue. This Xiao Gu was clearly the one who sent her the invitation. She finally managed to meet him, but he stood her up.

If it weren't for his good looks and the fact that they had some childhood friendship, she wouldn't have paid any attention to him.

"Young Master Gu always keeps his promises. He must have been delayed on the way. Please wait a little longer, Miss. I have already sent someone to check on him."

Ruan Xianrong pouted. This kid would have a hard time seeing her again in the future.

Gu Xingzhi, the heir of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, was sent to the palace to study by his father because he was disobedient when he was a child.

Therefore, the younger girls were all placed under Xie Chengyan's care.

Gu Xingzhi was the most daring and unafraid of the Crown Prince, while she avoided him like the plague.

The two formed a united front and privately spent a lot of time cricketing the male lead.

In addition, Gu Xingzhi is down-to-earth and easy-going. Most importantly, although he is a marginal character in the book, she quite enjoys playing with him.

She sighed. It was fine if he didn't come; she was more comfortable on her own.

It was hot, and the more she lay there, the less she wanted to move; she didn't even want to open her eyes.

She stretched out one leg and leaned it against a soft pillow, placing her fan aside, and said lazily, "I want to eat grapes."

Yinque didn't move for a moment, then stepped forward, picked a grape and held it to her lips, while fanning her with a fan.

"It's so much more comfortable here. Let's live here from now on. It's not as rich and powerful as living in the Prime Minister's mansion, but it's much more comfortable."

The fan continued, neither too fast nor too slow, with just the right amount of force. Noticing that the person beside him remained silent, he put the last grape in his mouth, opened his eyes, and looked over.

That one glance almost scared her out of her wits.

"Your Highness, Tai, Tai, Prince?"
