It was better to deal with these two troublesome matters together to save her the trouble.

The fourth prince’s matter actually didn’t affect Cloud Mountain City’s atmosphere that much.

There were only a few days left until the lantern meeting, but Lu Ze was getting busier every day. He was so busy that other than knowing that he was back at night, Lin Suisui couldn’t see him at other times at all.

However, Lin Suisui wasn’t idle. As she studied the herbs in her hand, she figured out many new things.

In order to make it easier for her to make medicine, Lu Ze had specifically prepared a small courtyard for her.

Now that Lu Ze wasn’t in the residence and she had nothing else to do, she stayed in the courtyard every day.

The day before the lantern festival, someone sent a letter saying that a woman from Marquis Beining’s ministry had come to visit.

Lin Suisui thought about it for a long time before she realized which family Marquis Beining’s ministry referred to.

Now that she was here…

Could it be because of Zhou Ningqian, who was recuperating in their residence?

“Who’s here?” Lin Suisui asked Bai Guo, who was handing her the letter, as she washed her hands.

“It’s the Marquis Pingning’s wife and that concubine, Madam Yu.” As Bai Guo helped Lin Suisui change, she replied in a low voice.

“They look aggressive, so I’m afraid they’re here to cause trouble.”

“Is there anything in our residence that’s worth them looking for? Speaking of which, we’ve even helped take care of Mrs. Pei for so long. It’s fine if they’re not grateful at all, but now they’re looking for… Ah, I remember now. Have the people who were taken away from Cold Mountain Temple been released?”

When Lin Suisui suddenly thought of this, she stopped tidying her clothes and couldn’t help but turn around to ask Bai Guo.

It would have been better if she hadn’t asked. When she asked, Bai Guo was stunned.

It seemed that after she returned, the fourth prince’s incident happened and Lu Ze became very busy, so who would remember such a trivial matter?

“Forget it. Let’s go take a look first.” Lin Suisui didn’t want to waste her time thinking about this. After packing up, she walked towards the warm pavilion with Bai Guo. There was nothing to be afraid of!

When Lin Suisui walked into the warm pavilion, Marquis Beining and Yu Niang had already been there for a while. Marquis Beining’s wife, Song Gu, looked a little timid and wary, but the arrogance and dissatisfaction on Yu Niang’s face was obvious.

It was obvious that Marquis Beining had come prepared.

This was because they were not the only ones sitting here. There was also an old acquaintance, County Governor Tang’s wife. As for the woman who was about the same age as Madam Beining, she looked unfamiliar. However, since she was pulled over by Madam Beining to be a lobbyist, she must be someone of a certain status.

After Lin Suisui walked to her seat calmly, she sat down. Then, she looked up and said to Madam Beining, “Madam, are you here to give me trouble?”

“What do you mean, Madam Liu? We actually have something to ask of you this time!” Madam Song was shocked by Lin Suisui’s words and quickly explained, “There must be a misunderstanding.”

“If you’re not here to cause trouble, why is a concubine sitting with our Madam?” As Yuan Niang stood beside Lin Suisui, she sized up Yu Niang, who was still sitting there without moving.

“Yu Niang, why aren’t you standing behind your own Madam?”

Yu Niang originally thought that Lin Suisui would be easy to deal with, but she didn’t expect her to target her sore spot. She wanted to retort, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by the unfamiliar woman sitting on the other side.

As Lin Suisui had guessed, although she had never seen this woman before, from the fact that she had successfully shut Yu Niang up and made her walk behind Madam Beining obediently, it could be seen that her status definitely wasn’t low.

At the very least, she had a higher status than Madam Yu.

“Madam Liu, if we’ve offended you this time, please forgive us.” After the woman finished teaching Madam Yu a lesson, she turned around and stood up politely to bow to Lin Suisui. Then, she said, “We actually came this time to ask you to be magnanimous and let those useless juniors out.

“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely discipline them strictly when we go back. We definitely won’t let them cause you trouble or annoy you again.”

“I really don’t understand what you’re saying. What do your juniors have to do with me? We’re not familiar with each other.” Lin Suisui slowly put down the teacup in her hand. She didn’t have a good impression of the woman in front of her to begin with, and now, because of her reaction and attitude, her impression of her had plummeted even more.

No matter how she looked at it, it was disgusting how she pushed the blame to her.

“How is it unrelated to you? If not for you, would they have been captured by the Imperial City’s government office and still be unheard from?!” Hearing Lin Suisui’s words, Madam Beining and the others didn’t respond, but Madam Yu couldn’t help but rush out and kneel in front of Lin Suisui as she cried sadly, “Madam, please be magnanimous and forgive them!

They have been pampered since they were young, so how can they withstand such hardship?

“Madam, please be kind and spare them! I’ll get them to kowtow to you and apologize to you. I really can’t let them stay in that shameful place anymore!”

At this moment, only Madam Yu’s sharp cries could be heard in the entire warm pavilion.

“You’re really getting more and more unruly!” Yuan Niang’s face darkened as she looked at Madam Yu, who was lying on the ground and crying, and she scolded, “Don’t you know what those juniors in your family have done?

Besides, those who get detained in the Imperial City’s government office are all felons! If you have any grievances, go to the entrance of the Imperial City’s government office and complain. Why are you causing trouble for her?

“Besides, you’re just a concubine. The official wife hasn’t even spoken yet, but you’re already complaining. Is there no one else in Marquis Beining’s ministry? How dare a concubine like you act so impudent?”
