The pregnant woman pressed down on the wife, and the cousin collapsed into the prince's arms.

However, she would never show this in front of her younger siblings. Having taken the money, Qin saw no need to stay any longer and left happily.

He went back and told Su Yi'an about sending him to the Marquis's residence. Su Yi'an was naturally very unwilling and was furious that Qin had complained to her sister. The couple had another big fight.

But he definitely had to go to the Marquis's residence, since he always listened to Su Wanrou.

The next day, Su Yi'an woke up in her concubine's room with bloodshot eyes from a hangover. After a hasty wash, she ordered the servants to prepare a carriage and went to the Marquis's residence.

The carriage had just stopped at the vermilion gate when Su Yi'an lifted the curtain, still thinking about how to deal with her elder sister, but when she looked up, she was stunned.

Not far away, a blue-curtained carriage was parked. A woman wearing a smoky-colored silk dress and a moon-white veil covered her face. She was slender and graceful, with a figure as delicate as a willow. The veil covered most of her face, leaving only a pair of bright almond-shaped eyes.

Having seen countless beauties, Su Yi'an could tell at a glance that the woman in front of her was a rare beauty, because she had extremely captivating eyes and fair skin that was crystal clear in the sunlight, like snow falling on plum branches in early winter.

Su Yi'an swallowed hard, feeling an intense, agonizing urge to tear off that thin, cloud-like veil.

Shen Yunshuang was invited by Pei Lingrong to have tea at his residence today. When she got into the carriage, she noticed that someone was looking at her. She looked up and met Su Yi'an's gaze.

The man in front of her was a complete stranger, and the infatuated look in his eyes made her uncomfortable.

She frowned, ignored it, and turned to get into the carriage, but suddenly a gust of wind lifted the veil from her face.

Su Yi'an felt her breath catch in her throat as the face beneath the veil suddenly struck her heart. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her nose like exquisite jade, and her lips were lightly touched with rouge. Her appearance was stunning.

He didn't even know how he got off the carriage; all that remained in his mind was that fleeting glimpse of the scene.

Who is she? Why did she leave the Marquis's residence? How come he has never seen her before?

Su Yi'an was lost in thought until a servant from the Marquis's mansion came forward to ask him something, which brought him back to his senses.

When they arrived at Jinlan Courtyard, Su Wanrou had already prepared her younger brother's favorite fruits and snacks. The table was full of horseshoe pastries, hibiscus cakes, pine nut goose fat rolls, and plump lychees on a white agate plate with tortoise shell cracks, looking very fresh.

Seeing her younger brother arrive, Su Wanrou was not as cold as when Qin Shi had come. She warmly pulled Su Yi'an in front of her, looked him over, and said, "Where did you go gallivanting around again last night? Look at how pale you are!"

Su Yi'an felt wronged and said angrily, "I was perfectly fine in the manor yesterday, sister, please don't wrong me."

Su Wanrou stopped pressing the issue, pulled him to the table, and peeled lychees for him herself.

Su Yi'an casually picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth. While listening to his sister's nagging words of discipline, he let them go in one ear and out the other.

The image of that woman from earlier was still lingering in his mind.

He took the lychee from his sister, put it in his mouth, and the sweet juice burst in his mouth. He swallowed it whole, spat out the pit, and asked with a grin, "Sister, has anyone new entered the Marquis's mansion? I met a woman I didn't recognize at the gate just now."

Su Wanrou paused in her movements, looked up at him, and asked, "Oh? What kind?"

Once Su Yi'an described the woman's appearance, what did Su Wanrou not understand?

She knew that Pei Lingrong and Shen Yunshuang had been getting close lately and often invited her out. To avoid trouble, Shen Yunshuang would wear a veil to cover her face.

Seeing her brother's anxious look, she gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "She really is a vixen; she can seduce men even while wearing a veil!"

She said casually, "She's my mother-in-law's niece, Shen Yunshuang, just an insignificant person. You should try this pine nut and goose fat roll; Zhou Mama made it especially for you."

Su Yi'an no longer wanted to eat the pine nut and goose fat rolls; her mind was filled with Shen Yunshuang. So that's her name, Yunshuang. What a beautiful name.

The niece of the Marquis's wife? Living in the Marquis's mansion? Does that mean she's never been married?

Su Yi'an's heart was burning with excitement, and she was about to ask a few more questions.
