It was the regent who had stopped the carriage and raised the curtain rudely.

“Your Highness, please lower the curtain.
This is not following etiquette!” Wang Si Qin frowned.

The regent seemed to smile.
“Who told you to hide from this prince these days? There’s no other option than for this prince to do this.” After that, the regent entered the carriage.

“Your Highness, please conduct yourself with dignity!” Wang Si Qin couldn’t bear it anymore and spoke louder.

“Don’t worry.
No matter how loud you speak, nobody will dare approach.” The regent sat down.
He was tall, and the originally spacious carriage seemed a bit crowded with his presence.

Wang Si Qin trembled with anger, but was helpless in front of this person.
She simply sat there and said nothing.

The regent kept looking at Wang Si Qin.
When he saw her face flushed with anger, he leaned forward in interest.
“You…”

“Young miss, the madam is here and said that you left something, so she brought it to you!” yelled someone outside the carriage.

Wang Si Qin frowned.
How could mother be here?

Li Su was sitting in the carriage waiting anxiously.
After Si Qin left, she remembered that she had made an upgraded chili-water spray for Si Qin for self-defence.
She knew that Si Qin had ways to deal with things, but she was afraid that some overlord would force her.

As a result, as soon as she caught up to the carriage, she heard that Si Qin’s carriage had been blocked.

Li Su didn’t want to show her face before, but now she had no choice but to let people come forward and reveal her identity.

Wang Si Qin immediately looked at the regent, who was stunned.
He stepped aside, and Wang Si Qin exited.

Fortunately, the surrounding area had been cleared by the regent’s people since he didn’t want to make trouble.
After all, it was not time to deal with the little emperor.

Wang Si Qin saw the carriage from Yong An Mansion and quickly walked over.
“Mother, why are you here? Go back quickly.
I’m fine.”

Li Su lifted up the corner of the curtain and handed over the chili-water to Wang Si Qin.
“If any bastard wants to bully you, you can spray this in his eyes.
It won’t blind him,” she whispered, telling Wang Si Qin how to use it.

Wang Si Qin was touched and felt funny.
“Mother, I know.
You should go home soon! I can handle it.”

Suddenly, a force rushed behind.
When Wang Si Qin reacted, the regent had already opened the curtain and said, “It’s you!”

Li Su looked at the man in front of her blankly.
She then looked at Wang Si Qin and asked, with her eyes, is this the regent?

Wang Si Qin was angry.
“Your Highness, please behave with dignity!”

The regent seemed to understand something and suddenly laughed loudly.
“Hahaha, that’s how it is!”

Li Su regretted that she hadn’t carried a knife.
Wouldn’t it be a good time to stab him? When she saw him like this, she was disgusted.
Was there something wrong with his brain?

But, after she realised that there was something wrong with the regent’s eyes, Li Su thought about things.
Could it be that the original owner had some history with the regent when he was a child? Li Su looked at Wang Si Qin, whose appearance was very similar to her own.

It couldn’t be?

Li Su was very surprised.

Wang Si Qin was equally surprised.

The regent was still laughing.
Li Su was impatient and pulled down the curtain.
“Return home!”

The coachman was at a loss.
After he received a nod from Wang Si Qin, he drove the carriage back.

The prince regent was still laughing, but Wang Si Qin felt complicated.
She was smart, so she had probably guessed what had happened.

“Your Highness!” Wang Si Qin called out.

The regent stopped laughing and glanced at Wang Si Qin.
“Is she your mother? You look a lot like her.”

Wang Si Qin frowned.
“Your Highness knows my mother?”

The regent touched his chin.
“Why didn’t I suspect this before?” He had investigated everyone around the emperor and Wang Si Qin was no exception.
However, Wang Si Qin was still young when he had investigated, so he didn’t care.
Later, when Wang Si Qin grew older and looked more and more like that person, he focussed on Wang Si Qin.

The regent knew of her relationship with Yong An Mansion.
It was obvious that she was sent to the palace by Yong An Mansion at a young age.
He subconsciously thought that person was no longer there.
Otherwise, how could Yong An Mansion have no scruples and send someone into the palace?

It turned out that everything was due to his subconscious negligence.

Yong An Mansion protected her very well, so well that even the outside world didn’t know of her existence.

The regent suddenly became happy knowing this fact.
Then, he rode away.

Wang Si Qin was left alone with mixed feelings.

When Li Qi Ming saw Wang Si Qin return to the palace, the tightness in his chest disappeared.
Seventh older brother had blocked Si Qin en-route.
When he had received that news, he feared that something would happen to Si Qin.
Now that Si Qin had returned safely, he was finally relieved.

However, Si Qin’s expression was a bit strange.

“What’s the matter? Did he do something to you?” Li Qi Ming asked as he held back his anger.

Wang Si Qin slowly shook her head.
“Your Majesty, do you know if the regent has seen my mother before? I mean, a long, long time ago?”

Li Qi Ming was stunned.
A long time ago? Where was he?

Li Qi Ming looked at Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu was also a little dazed.
A long time ago? At that time, the 7th prince was a nobody, so who would care about him? Zhao Fu also shook his head.

“What is going on?” Li Qi Ming asked.

Wang Si Qin briefly recounted what happened.
“I think that I might have been a substitute since the beginning.” She finally understood.
Where did the regent’s hostility towards Yong An Mansion come from? It wasn’t just because Yong An Mansion had different political opinions and supported His Majesty.
Part of the reason might have been because the regent thought Yong An Mansion indirectly killed her mother.

If that was the case, then Wang Si Qin was afraid that she would not be able to face the regent in the future.
This was too unsettling!

So, what the regent really wanted was Si Qin’s mother?

“How old is auntie this year?” Li Qi Ming asked after a long time.

“My mother had me when she was fifteen.
She is twenty-nine this year.” Wang Si Qin sighed softly.

Li Qi Ming felt a little weak.
Seventh older brother was 32 this year.
Considering his age, the two might have actually met previously.

What was this?

Li Qi Ming and Wang Si Qin looked at each other.

Li Su was also a little puzzled.
There weren’t many memories from the original owner’s childhood left.
She didn’t know if the original owner had seen the regent before! However, if what she had guessed was true, the regent was really the unhappy love affair of the original owner.
This could explain why the regent was so obsessed with courtesans.

After the regent returned, he immediately sent someone to investigate.
After 3 days, all of Li Su’s information was placed in front of him.
The regent looked through them one-by-one and his expression was complex.
If it wasn’t for Yong An Mansion’s unfavourable affairs, how could she have suffered so much?! What was even worse was that Yong An Mansion had kept people in the rear residence for so many years.
She was not allowed to show her face.
He almost made a big mistake!

Fortunately, there was still time.

The regent smiled.

In Yong An Mansion, Xiao Qi Zhi and the others looked at the various precious treasures in front of them.
Their mouths twitched.
What did the regent want to do? This was not a threat but a temptation? Xiao Qi Zhi wasn’t so short-sighted!

When everything had been put away, the messenger, Chang Shi, from the regent’s mansion smiled and said, “These are gifts from His Highness to the young lady in your residence.
If the young lady likes it, then she can keep them for fun.
If she doesn’t like it, then she can throw it away.
His Highness will send some more tomorrow.”

Xiao Qi Zhi and the others thought that the young lady he was talking about was Si Qin, so Xiao Qi Zhi frowned.
This regent was too absurd.
How could he go after Si Qin at his age? He was so shameless!

“Si Qin is still young.
Is it appropriate for His Highness to do this?” Xiao Shun Zhi frowned.

Chang Shi smiled.
“Master Ye and the general misunderstood.
The young lady His Highness is referring to is Si Qin’s mother.”

What! Su Su! Xiao Qi Zhi and the others were dumbfounded.

When Li Su received the news, she looked at the rare and exotic treasures in front of her with a helpless expression.
“If there are no merits, then please return it for me, aunt!”

Princess Qing Shan also looked helpless.
“If you like it, you can keep it for fun.
If you don’t like it, then throw it away.
He will send more again!”

Li Su couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
What was this?! Why does the regent like her? Could she change it?

“What on earth is going on?” Imperial Princess An He asked.

“I don’t know.
Si Qin returned to the palace that day.
I remembered that there was something I forgot to give her, so I went to give it to her.
I didn’t expect to meet the regent on the way.
Anyway, he is a lunatic!” Li Su said angrily.

“Su Su!” Princess Qing Shan grumbled.
One could pretend to be crazy or stupid, or pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger.
The capital mansion and this level of scheming could not be done by ordinary people.
To this day, nobody dared to underestimate the regent.

“I know.
I just talked about it,” said Li Su.

“Su Su, have you seen seventh uncle before?” Imperial Princess An He asked curiously.

Li Su shook her head honestly.
“I don’t remember.”

The old madam and Princess Qing Shan looked at each other.
Su Su had been in the capital until she was 6 and had occasionally followed them into the palace.
Was it possible that she had met the regent at that time? But, what exactly did Su Su do to make the regent so obsessed with her?

It was unfortunate that Su Su’s memory had not been completely restored.
This would remain unknown.

It was just now they had to decide how to respond.
Or, how should Su Su respond? The other party was the regent.
Could Su Su refuse? But, if she didn’t refuse, then was it possible that she would end up being the regent’s concubine? This was absolutely impossible!

LI Su also considered this issue.
She believed that nobody in Yong An Mansion would force her to agree to the regent.
Instead, they would oppose it.
It was just, since it was the regent, how should she refuse?

After careful consideration, Li Su decided to meet the regent!
