After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness

The night was as dark as ink, covering every corner of the Dongyue Palace.

The lights in the Fourth Prince's residence were dim, and the once prosperous courtyard now seemed deserted and lonely.

Because the scandal with Qin Suyu was exposed by everyone, the Fourth Prince had completely angered Emperor Dong Yue and was severely punished by house arrest.

He sat alone in the dim study, his brows full of melancholy and unwillingness, as if he had fallen into the trough of life.

But at this moment, Qin Suyu's heart was in turmoil in her boudoir.

She looked at her beautiful face in the mirror and thought to herself, if she could express her deep affection to the Fourth Prince in this turbulent time and stay by his side no matter what situation he was in, then once the Fourth Prince made a comeback in the future, he would definitely remember her perseverance and dedication at this moment.

So, she dressed up carefully every day and tried to climb over the wall to see the man who once made her heart beat fast.

When Qin Suling heard Jinxiu talking about this, her mood instantly fell to the bottom.

She knew very well that the Fourth Prince was frivolous by nature and would never refuse any woman who came to him.

Now he was in the loneliness of house arrest, and Qin Suyu's approach to him at this time undoubtedly gave him an excellent opportunity.

With a mysterious smile, Jinxiu leaned close to Qin Suling's ear and whispered gossip, "Madam specifically told the Second Miss to keep her innocence and never let the Fourth Prince succeed again."

Qin Suling's face darkened when she heard this. She poked Jinxiu's forehead lightly and said jokingly, "Where did you hear these words from, little girl?"

Jinxiu answered mysteriously, "I heard it at the 'rumor transmission center' in our mansion."

Qin Suling had also heard of this so-called "rumor transmission center". It was the place where several maids in the mansion gathered together to chat in their spare time.

Although their conversations mostly involved gossip in the mansion, it was a taboo in the mansion for servants to talk about their masters casually.

However, the leader of this "rumor transmission office", Madam Liu, was an old servant who had served Fang Rushuang for many years. Therefore, although Fang Rushuang did not like her talkativeness, she did not drive her out of the mansion because of the many years of master-servant relationship.

Qin Suling sighed inwardly, she knew that her ladyship's worries were not groundless.

In this treacherous palace, every step must be taken with caution.

She didn't want to let her sister Qin Suyu go down a path of no return, and she didn't want to see her ruin her life because of a momentary impulse.

So, she decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Qin Suyu and remind her not to make the wrong decision because of momentary emotional impulse.

Although Madam Liu's words were exaggerated and dramatic, upon closer inspection, they were not completely unfounded.

After listening to Jinxiu's narration, Qin Suling's heart was filled with waves.

She knew very well that Fang Rushuang and Qin Suyu's understanding of the Fourth Prince seemed to remain on the surface of his splendor and majesty, and had not penetrated into his bones.

If he really decided to act with thunder and lightning, how could Qin Suyu's weak shoulders withstand such heavy pressure?

Although Qin Suling had no intention of interfering in Qin Suyu's private affairs, the family bond was like an invisible chain that tightly connected them.

The laws of Dongyue are harsh and ruthless. If one person commits a crime, the entire family will share the responsibility.

Although Qin Suling was unwilling in her heart, she had to worry about the honor and disgrace of her family.

She recalled a book on pharmacy that she had once read, which recorded a strange herb called "Netherworld Grass".

This grass has no odor at room temperature, but once the temperature rises, it will emit an unbearable stench. Even dogs with a keen sense of smell will vomit after smelling it.

Qin Suling's heart moved. Perhaps, this Nether Grass was the last help she could give to Qin Suyu.

She called Jinxiu and instructed her carefully to find the herb, dry it, and grind it into powder for later use.

At the same time, she also specifically instructed Jinxiu to always pay attention to Qin Suyu's every move and report to her immediately if there was any movement.

One evening, Jinxiu came hurriedly, holding a letter in her hand, and reported to Qin Suling nervously: "The fourth prince has sent a letter, inviting the second lady to meet tonight."

Qin Suling took the letter and unfolded it gently. The handwriting was neat and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

She knew in her heart how serious the consequences would be if they were alone together in the dead of night.

She sighed in her heart, thinking that if Qin Suyu could be wiser, she should politely decline the invitation tonight.

"What's going on with the second young lady?" Qin Suling asked in a deep voice.

Jinxiu replied, "She is bathing and changing her clothes, preparing to go to the appointment as soon as it gets dark."

After hearing this, Qin Suling shook her head helplessly, took out the packet of Nether Grass powder that she had prepared long ago from her sleeve, and whispered to Jinxiu, "Go and quietly sprinkle this powder on the shoes and socks of the Second Miss. Remember, you must be careful and don't let anyone notice."

Jinxiu took the powder, nodded in agreement, and then left quietly.

As night fell and the sky was dotted with stars, Qin Suling stood in front of the window, looking at the dark night sky, her heart was surging.

The night was as dark as ink, but Qin Suyu's heart was tangled like a tangled thread.

She knew very well that this journey was dangerous, but the determination in her heart made her go ahead without hesitation.

She slipped out of her boudoir quietly, her steps light, for fear of alerting the guards in the mansion.

The moonlight sprinkled on her jade-like skin, covering her with a mysterious veil.

She chose to travel on foot rather than riding in a sedan chair.

In the darkness of night, she shuttled through the streets, taking every step carefully, fearing that she would be noticed.

After walking for about half an hour, she finally arrived at the Fourth Prince's residence.

The mansion is majestic and solemn, with lights dim.

Qin Suyu and her maid cautiously approached a wall. The maid bent down skillfully, and her back became the ladder for Qin Suyu to reach the high wall.

Qin Suyu took a deep breath and stepped on the maid's back without hesitation.

She felt both nervous and a little expectant.

The moment Qin Suyu stepped on it, the maid seemed to smell an indescribable odor.

The smell was a little strange, but it was fleeting.

The maid frowned slightly, thinking that it was some dead animal nearby and the stench of the decaying corpse, so she didn't think much about it.

Qin Suyu stepped on the maid's back and quickly climbed to the top of the wall.

She lowered her head slightly and saw the Fourth Prince standing quietly on the other side of the wall, his eyes full of expectation and tenderness.

He stretched out his hands to Qin Suyu, and said in a low and magnetic voice: "Come down quickly, I will catch you."

Qin Suyu felt warm in her heart, and she smiled coquettishly, "Then the Fourth Prince must be stable."

After saying this, she jumped down lightly and landed accurately in the arms of the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.

In the room, fine wine and delicious food had already been prepared.

The fourth prince personally filled Qin Suyu's glass with wine. He smiled and said, "You are late, so you should drink three glasses as punishment."
