"Thirteenth Princess, Miss Zuo Yuan is here."

The palace maid's report made the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly quiet down. After knowing that it was Zuo Yuan, Duan Yunfei immediately got the palace maid to invite Zuo Yuan in.

Unlike what Duan Yunfei had expected, once she entered the room, Zuo Yuan's expression was extremely ugly. It could even be said that she looked incredibly heavy, which made Duan Yunfei a little worried.

"Zuo Yuan, what's wrong?" Duan Yunfei waved her hand, ordering Xiao Ya and the others to go out first. After all, she couldn't be sure what happened to Zuo Yuanyuan, and her expression was extremely ugly.

Zuo Yuan wanted to say something but stopped. She wanted to speak a few times but swallowed her words back.

Duan Yunfei was worried, "What happened to you? I'm really worried about you not saying anything at all."

The two sisters had always been straightforward and talked about everything. However, Zuo Yuan's performance today had never happened before, which seemed to imply that something serious must have happened.

"Yun Fei, do you not know anything?"

Zuo Yuan did not answer Duan Yunfei's question, but asked Duan Yunfei instead. Duan Yunfei was already filled with suspicions, and now, she was even more confused.

"Know what?" In the past few days, other than having a huge argument with Mu Chuyang, Duan Yunfei's forbidden life was relatively calm. After all, she wouldn't be able to see Duan Yingluo and Duan Liusu until she left the Red Luan Palace.

Zuo Yuan's words seemed to imply that Duan Yunfei should know something, which meant that Zuo Yuan's words must be related to Duan Yunfei. If that was the case, could it be related to Mu Chuyang?

Ever since that big fight that day, when Mu Chuyang had never entered the palace before, and because of that, Duan Yunfei did not ask about Mu Chuyang's information even though he had no face, the two of them stubbornly refused to let each other go.

They were clearly thinking about each other, but they just didn't want to admit defeat. At least in Duan Yunfei's opinion, she hadn't done anything wrong, and this time Mu Chuyang had indeed misunderstood her.

As for Mu Chuyang, when he saw the congratulatory gift that Xiu Heng had sent over, he was instantly blinded with jealousy. With such clever thoughts, how could he not know how childish and heartbreaking those words he had said back then had caused Duan Yunfei to feel?

But just because the timing was wrong, Duan Yunfei had feelings for Xiu Heng. Mu Chuyang had always been in a defensive position, so naturally, he still carried this in his heart. Mu Chuyang felt that if he was unable to settle the matter with Xiu Heng this time, this would probably become a thorn that he and Duan Yunfei would never be able to pull out again.

"Did Chu Yang say anything to you?" Duan Yunfei asked carefully, afraid that Zuo Yuan would realise that she was sad because of the quarrel he had with Mu Chuyang.

Zuo Yuan entered the palace today so she could discuss the situation of the battle at the front lines with Duan Yunfei. After getting off the imperial court in the morning, the Minister went into a rage after returning to his residence.

It was when the Minister of the Left was cursing the officials in the imperial court who only knew that the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince were to take advantage of this opportunity to make people suffer the hardships of war, that Zuo Yuan heard some rumors.

That day after they left Red Luan Palace, Zuo Yuanyuan asked the Minister about this matter when she returned to her residence. However, the Minister kept talking about the peace at the borders and kept quiet about the situation. Since she was young, Zuo Yuanyuan had firmly believed in what the Minister had said, so she did not pursue the matter. She just assumed that Xiao Gui had heard the wrong thing. Thus, in the next few days, Zuo Yuanyuan could only focus on preparing new clothes for Lady Zuo and Duan Yunfei.

Zuo Yuanyuan knew how important this was to Duan Yunfei, so when she overheard the Left Reverend's words, she immediately went to the palace to inform Duan Yunfei of this matter.

At the entrance of Red Luan Palace, Zuo Yuanyuan saw an unfamiliar face, and only after asking around, did she know that it was someone from the Queen's Palace. They were there to guard the door of Red Luan Palace to prevent Duan Yunfei from breaking the rules of the manor.

It was only then that Zuo Yuan found out that Duan Yunfei was actually grounded, so she definitely did not hear about what happened at the Imperial Court today. As for the reason why Duan Yunfei was grounded by the Queen, Zuo Yuan did not ask too much. After all, the most important thing right now was to inform Duan Yunfei of the situation of the battle at the front lines.

But Duan Yunfei's words did not sound right, did something happen between her and Mu Chuyang?

"What happened to you and Chu Yang?"

It turned out that Zuo Yuan was not aware of the quarrel between Mu Chuyang and her. Now, he had come knocking on his door.

In the recent three to four months, because of the conflict between Duan Yunfei and Zuo Yuan, Zuo Yuan and Wu Shan had already been worried for a long time. It was not easy for the two of them to finally settle their marriage, they thought that the dust had settled, and that they would wait for Duan Yunfei to marry Mu Chuyang two years later.

Duan Yunfei did not want Zuo Yuan to worry about him again. If Zuo Yuan had not come to the palace today, Duan Yunfei had planned for him and Mu Chuyang to settle this issue secretly. If Zuo Yuan and Wu Shan knew about it later, they would have only said that the two of them did not see them as friends. That would be better than if Zuo Yuanyuan and Wu Shan were to always be worried for him and Mu Chuyang.

But now that Zuo Yuan had asked, Duan Yunfei could no longer continue to hide it, she could only tell her everything.

"It's just that we had a fight a few days ago. There's nothing going on, so you don't have to worry about it."

How could Zuo Yuan not worry? Zuo Yuanyuan had even thought that even if Duan Yunfei lost face in front of everyone, Mu Chuyang would probably only laugh and tell Duan Yunfei that he did not care.

Duan Yunfei was also not someone who would easily cause arguments with others, but now that the two of them were quarreling, something must have gone wrong.

"You all … "What's wrong?" Zuo Yuanyuan realised that Duan Yunfei's expression was not good, and was probably related to this matter.

Zuo Yuan really wanted to scold Mu Chuyang. She finally got what she wanted and was able to marry Duan Yunfei back to the Prince Mu's Mansion.

"This is a long story …"

"Since it's a long story, you can say it slowly. I'll listen to it slowly too, since I'm free today, you can't even go anywhere, so explain everything to me clearly."

It was rare for Zuo Yuan to be so unyielding, but wasn't Duan Yunfei's happiness the only thing she could be happy about?

Duan Yunfei had no choice but to explain everything that had happened to Zuo Yuan. Under Zuo Yuan's coercion and enticement, she did not miss a single detail, which was rather difficult for Duan Yunfei, who had always been carefree.

"So it's because of Xiu Heng. Forget it, I'm afraid Chu Yang won't be able to pass this hurdle."

Zuo Yuan sighed helplessly, she did not expect Mu Chuyang to be so petty.
