At the end of the day, the human heart was still made of flesh. No matter who it was, there would always be someone in their heart that they wanted to favor.

It was understandable.

“Since this matter has come to an end, let’s all return to our quarters!” Chi Yang said.

Shen Jue had rushed back after detoxifying the poison in her body, and now, she was exhausted.

Xiao Lianyi wanted to say something but was pulled away by Chi Yi.

Chi Yang heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this.

Although it was understandable, for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable. Was it because of “Chi Yang’s” remnant soul in her body?

Chi Yang did not know.

The next day, Chi Yang woke up and was informed by Mo Qin that the Fourth Princess had come to visit her. She was already waiting for her in the Autumn Pavilion.

The Fourth Princess? Xiao Shuyu?

What was she doing here?

Chi Yang dressed up and brought Shi Jian to the Autumn Pavilion.

Seeing Chi Yang’s arrival, Xiao Shuyu quickly got up from the soft couch and pulled Chi Yang’s hand.

“You weren’t bullied by Chi Yao, were you?” The younger girl immediately asked.

Xiao Lianyi coughed when she heard this.

Xiao Shuyu paused and changed her words, “Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

Chi Yang looked at Xiao Lianyi and pretended not to see her.

“No, I’m fine. Why are you here?” Chi Yang asked despite knowing the answer.

Xiao Shuyu opened her mouth and said, “It’s all because of Auntie..”

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Lianyi coughed.

Xiao Shuyu sighed and corrected herself again, “It’s all because the news has spread in the palace. I came to see you,”

She really didn’t understand what was wrong with her aunt. This was her own daughter. How could she still hold a grudge overnight? She clearly cared about her daughter, but she couldn’t ask any of these questions herself. Instead, she called her out from the palace to ask.

Although being able to leave the palace was very tempting to her.

Feeling that she had completed the task she had been given, Xiao Shuyu turned to Xiao Lianyi, “Aunt, I’m done asking now. Can I go out and play with Cousin now?” She asked.

Xiao Lianyi could only gently smack her forehead. Why did she think she could leave this matter to Shuyu?

“You… You can go…” Out of sight, out of mind.

Xiao Lianyi waved at Xiao Shuyu.

…

Xiao Shuyu brought Chi Yang to change into men’s clothes. They rode the carriage until it finally stopped in front of a building.

The two of them got out of the carriage. Chi Yang raised her head and looked at the plaque on the building.

Night Fragrance Fate.

It didn’t sound like a proper name.

“What are we doing here?” Chi Yang asked.

Was there a need to ask?

“We’re here to have fun, of course!” Xiao Shuyu replied.

Inside Fragrant Night Fate, there were lanterns and colorful streamers. The women who came and went were only dressed in thin clothes. Because of the thin red cotton cloth that was wrapped around them, their figures seemed to appear hazy. The curves and lines of the bodies appeared both distinctive and blurry at the same time, creating an alluring vision.

But this also made Chi Yang realize that this was indeed not a proper place.

Chi Yang pulled Xiao Shuyu, “What are we doing here?”

Xiao Shuyu looked at Chi Yang and saw the genuine look of confusion on her face. She didn’t seem to be playing dumb, so she explained, “This is a place to admire beauties. When you were young, you said that you wanted to take a look at them the most. Aren’t we all grown up now?”

When Chi Yang heard that there were tons of beauties here, she immediately became spirited.

However, before she could meet the said beauty, Chi Yang met an acquaintance.

At the corner, a man with a greasy face was pulling a young girl. The young girl begged for mercy with tears streaming down her face.

The young girl was none other than Xiao Cui, who had been dismissed from the manor.

However, she didn’t know why she ended up here.

She walked up to them, and said, “May I ask what the Young Master is doing?”

Xiao Shuyu stood behind Chi Yang and fiddled with the waist tag on her waist.

The man sized up the two of them and was about to scold them, but when he saw the waist token on the “young man’s” waist, he bent down and left.

‘Didn’t the rumors say that the Second Prince was sick and weak? Why did he come to this kind of brothel?’

The man shook his head. It seemed that the rumors were not to be believed…
