What an honor it would be if she could marry him and help him ascend the throne of crown prince. She has already begun to look forward to the future.

Rong Gui was unaware of his daughter's feelings, and calmly analyzed, "This may not be what you think. The Seventh Prince we met today is also very important, and he seems to have his own plans. The power shifts in the court are ever-changing. He may be in power today, but someone else may be in power tomorrow."

"But..." Rong Wanling pouted slightly, "The Seventh Prince already has someone else in his heart."

Thinking of this, she clenched her fists. This was the first time in her life that she felt such frustration.

She had no good feelings towards the Seventh Prince, so naturally she could not accept Ye Yunzi.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the Fourth Prince can inherit smoothly in order to teach the person who brought shame upon him a lesson and make him understand the consequences of today's rudeness.

"Even if you have someone in your heart, so what?" Rong Gui said coldly, putting down the spoon in his hand, "As the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, if you want to gain military power and the support of General Rong, you need their help. Who in this capital can have a status like you?"

"Don't think too much. Just concentrate on practicing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I will bring you to the palace in the future. You must show your talent in front of the emperor and the concubine, and... strive to win the favor of the queen mother."

"Yes." Although Rong Wanling agreed verbally, she had other plans in her mind.

She left the study, and the night air involuntarily made her walk to the pavilion where she met the Fourth Prince today.

Standing there, she recalled the Fourth Prince's calm words and his eyes. Her cheeks couldn't help but flush. She gently pressed her hand on her chest, "Fourth Prince."

"What? Let me apologize to Ye Yunzi?" A surprised voice came from the room. Rong Wanling trembled and looked at Aunt Gui with a grim face.

"Why should I apologize to her?"

At today's banquet, she suffered great humiliation and lost face in front of the Fourth Prince. When she was about to settle the score with Ye Yunzi, she was actually asked to apologize.

Rong Wanling was furious and refused to listen to any explanation.

Nanny Gui is experienced and was once Madam Rong's think tank. Now she is sent to assist Rong Wanling in handling affairs.

Today, she almost accidentally injured someone with her arrow. This was her fault. No matter from which angle she looked at it, she should go to the Su Mansion to apologize, otherwise she would be criticized.

"I won't go!" Rong Wanling turned her back to Nanny Gui.

"Miss, you must apologize." Aunt Gui said firmly. Even if the young lady didn't want to listen, she had to stick to her position. "Everyone has seen what happened today. If you don't apologize, I'm afraid there will be gossip."

Rong Wanling was in a irritable mood and pushed over all the teacups on the table, smashing them to pieces.

She was not someone who did not understand reason. After calming down, she realized the seriousness of the matter.

Finally, she reluctantly agreed: "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

Aunt Gui nodded with satisfaction and ordered the maid to come in and clean up the broken tea set. "Miss, please go to bed early and don't worry about what happened today. A peaceful state of mind is the most important thing."

"I understand." Rong Wanling was still angry and didn't want to say anything more.

After Aunt Gui left, Rong Wanling stood up abruptly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, "You want me to apologize? Humph."

"Miss." A maid knocked on the door and walked into the room, holding a jewelry box in her hand. "This is the gold and silver jewelry sent by Zhuchaifang today. Please take a look, Miss."

The Duke's Mansion held a banquet today, and celebrities in the city sent gifts one after another. Zhuchaifang is a famous jewelry store in the capital, and even the concubines in the palace would customize their jewelry here.

Rong Wanling stared at the dazzling jewels, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

……

the next day.

Ye Yunzi began to learn the family accounts under the guidance of the housekeeper. The Su family has many industries, which have always been managed by the housekeeper Su.

But since Ye Yunzi and the first lady returned to the Su Mansion, Grandpa Su decided to let Ye Yunzi take over the management of the family finances, and planned to add several wealthy properties to her dowry in the future to increase her status in her husband's family.

Ye Yunzi understood her grandfather's good intentions, so she devoted herself to learning how to manage finances.

When Butler Su placed the thick account book on the table, Ye Yunzi realized how huge the Su family's business was and that it almost controlled the economic lifeline of the capital.

The Su family has always kept a low profile and does not easily reveal its wealth, so in the eyes of outsiders, the Su family is just an ordinary big family. If these truths are made public, it will inevitably cause a sensation.

No matter how prominent a family is, once it loses its economic pillar, it will eventually decline.

Just like the Ye family, they are now penniless and only an empty shell remains.

The huge amount of wealth that the first lady brought as a dowry when she got married made Ye Chongde want to keep it at all costs, even by resorting to extreme means.

"Miss, today we will start with the basic reading of accounts, and later we will teach you how to truly manage the family assets." Butler Su said gently.

Ye Yunzi was smart and clever, and she had experience in financial management in her previous life, so she learned quickly. This made Butler Su both admire her and feel regretful. It would have been great if the young lady was a boy, so that she could inherit the entire family business.

However, Grandpa Su doted on his only granddaughter and treated her equally regardless of gender.

Therefore, when Ye Yunzi gets married, her dowry will be very generous.

"I didn't expect the Su Mansion to have so many industries..."

"Yes, the outside world only knows the tip of the iceberg of the Su family." Butler Su nodded in response.

In the previous life, Ye Yunzi didn't know that the Su family had such a deep foundation, so when the whole family was exterminated, most of the family property fell into Baili Ye's hands. This also made the Su family one of the targets that must be eradicated.

Thinking of this, her eyes became heavy. Just then, the servant Yu Shu walked in with a strange expression and said, "Miss, the eldest daughter of the Rong family is here to visit."

"Rong Wanling?" Ye Yunzi was extremely surprised. Rong Wanling had always been cold towards her and had never given her a good look. Why did she suddenly come to visit her this time?

"Miss Rong is already waiting in the living room."

Ye Yunzi's expression was stern. No matter what the purpose of Rong Wanling's visit was, she felt it was necessary to meet her. After finishing her tidying up, she slowly walked to the living room.

In the living room, the eldest lady was greeting Rong Wanling. Rong Wanling took a sip of the fragrant high-quality tea and looked around. She found that although the Su family was not magnificent, it revealed an extraordinary elegance everywhere, and the wood used was also of precious choice.

Although she had heard her father mention that the Su family was wealthy, she had not paid much attention to it. But after seeing it with her own eyes today, she realized that the family was indeed different from other wealthy families.

However, it is difficult to see more information just from the layout of the mansion.

Rong Wanling withdrew her thoughts and didn't think about it anymore.
