The day after the crown prince was born, Madam Ning rose early to pay her respects to Old Lady Su. Her mind was disturbed by the empress dowager's words to the empress dowager and crown prince yesterday.

Old Lady Su sipped her tea and looked at Madam Ning. She asked with some doubt, "What's wrong with you? Early in the morning. "

Before news of the incident had spread, Old Lady Su already knew that Su Wanrou had been found out by the court. The empress dowager had ordered her to be severely punished, but in her eyes, it wasn't anything bad. Although the news was unpleasant, it could calm the mother and daughter down for a few days.

The fragrance of the tea filled the air. Having been called back to her thoughts by Old Lady Su, Madam Ning had a complicated expression on her face as she said, "You guys leave first."

These words were said to the maidservants in the room. Everyone turned around and left.

Old Lady Su became increasingly confused. Could it be that something big happened in the palace yesterday?

"Mother, yesterday the empress dowager summoned Wan at the banquet and said something strange. I heard that the crown prince seemed to have had a fever for a few days and kept chanting Wan's name. Yesterday, Wan suddenly fainted, and the crown prince and empress dowager even said a few words to decide Aunt Ji and Third Young Miss's punishments …" Madam Ning frowned.

Old Lady Su understood immediately and was slightly perturbed. "Could it be that the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to us, Wan?"

The two of them truly cherished Su Wanrou from the bottom of their hearts. Even so, they did not want Su Wanrou to enter the palace and climb up to a higher position.

"Wan and the crown prince just met yesterday for the first time. How did the crown prince know? I don't understand either. Mother, Wan's temper isn't suitable for the palace. We absolutely cannot let her get close to the crown prince." Madam Ning's heart skipped a beat. She thought of her husband, Su Qiu. If Su Qiu wanted to use Wan to please Crown Prince, then it would be bad. Other than the male lead and the female lead, no matter how biased she was towards Wan, she couldn't take care of a lot of things.

Old Lady Su understood what Madam Ning was thinking after she heard this. Naturally, she wasn't willing to take away her precious granddaughter for riches. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Did the crown prince say anything yesterday?"

Madam Ning thought for a moment before replying, "The Crown Prince said he had seen Wan in his dreams!"

Once these words were spoken, it would be hard for Su Wanrou to find a good man in the future. Who would dare to snatch the crown prince's dream lover?

They were both women who had lived in the backyard for many years. They could tell each other's thoughts with just a glance. The crown prince's words were very true. As long as they were more forceful, they could stop the two of them.

Madam Ning stood up with a smile on her face. "Mom, I'll be leaving first."

Old Lady Su nodded. With a peaceful expression on her face, she went to rest with the support of her servant girl.

On the other side, after Su Wanrou had finished washing her hair, she stood at the entrance of her own courtyard, looking at the signboard with a thoughtful expression.

In her previous life, she had been so attached to Zhou Yu that she had been grounded so easily, had trusted Su Xiuting so much that she had fallen into her trap. She had been so weak that the people around her had been implicated and had no way of resisting.

Zhou Yu also seemed to have changed. She remembered that it was three years later that Zhou Yu expressed his goodwill to her. Now that she was only 12 years old, it was unknown if her rebirth had brought about some change.

Aunt Ji and Su Xiuting were both imprisoned for a year, so she didn't move for the time being. Su Wanrou could now clearly see that the things that Su Xiuting dared to do to her back then were nothing more than relying on her own power.

When he was young, he relied on his father, Su Qiu, to be domineering and pampered.

When he grew up, he relied on Zhou Yu. He looked different on the surface, and he was jealous and cruel.

After all, she could not fight any of them, and she had her own reasons. The hussar Great General was her grandfather and the prime minister's daughter was her identity, but that was not enough, she could only cause people to look at her in a different light.

"Wan, why are you standing here?" A gentle voice came from behind her. Su Wanrou turned around with a smile and said, "Mother, I want to change the name of the courtyard!"

The person who came was Madam Ning, wearing a long skirt. Her eyebrows were soft, and her figure was pretty. Su Wanrou couldn't understand why her father would like Aunt Ji to be like that, even though her appearance was less than a tenth of her mother's.

Madam Ning felt a little helpless towards this sprite that did whatever it wanted to do, but she was also curious about what name Su Wanrou could come up with, so she asked, "Then what name do you want to use?"

"The pavilion." Su Wanrou chuckled. She had already made up her mind.

Madam Ning was surprised by her daughter's sudden literary talent and couldn't help but praise her, "You truly are my precious daughter. You've chosen well. But this courtyard doesn't suit your elegant name. Why don't you redecorate it?"

Su Wanrou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Wasn't this a little too extravagant?

"This is too troublesome. Mom, my courtyard is pretty good!" Su Wanrou said coquettishly. She couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. All in all, she was already older than ten years old. Yet, she was still acting coquettishly towards her mother.

But who told her to look like a little girl now?

Thinking of the plan in her mind, Madam Ning came up with another idea and advised, "Your yard should be tidied up. Look at those three girls, their rooms are even more luxurious than yours. It's settled then. In the next few days, you will be living in the outer courtyard, which is under your grandfather's name. Naturally, there will be people protecting you, so Mother does not need to worry. "

Su Wanrou was puzzled. She felt that her mother was hiding something from her, but she didn't ask any further.

She nodded and said, "If that's the case, then Wan will tell Grandmother about it."

Madam Ning patted her on the head and smiled. "Go on, go on. The mother of the carriage will pack your luggage for you."

Su Wanrou was not worried at all. She waved her hand and ran towards Old Lady Su.

As expected, Old Lady Su agreed to Madam Ning's sudden decision after a slight pause. Su Wanrou was more certain that both Old Lady Su and Madam Ning knew about it and were plotting something.

After thinking for a moment, she understood that everything was related to her, and the things that had happened recently were just the crown prince's vague words.

She had wanted to take care of it herself, but since she was still young, she would leave behind some traces if she did so. It would be better to leave those without money and authority to Madam Ning.

Therefore, Su Wanrou calmly rode the carriage to a mansion on the outskirts of the city.

The place was called Mei Yuan, with its red tiles and white walls. Su Wanrou was quite satisfied with the plum blossom.

There was only one servant girl that came with her. Su Wanrou, on a whim, picked a name from the book and bestowed her with a name, Gu Su.

However, what she did not expect was that there was another person here. It was a handsome young man. Su Wanrou had no objections to the person her grandfather sent to protect.

"Gu Su, what are we eating tonight?" Outside the kitchen, Su Wanrou was dressed in green. Her hair was tied up high, and she was leaning against the door with a book in her hand.
