To avoid unexpected complications, Princess Nanzhang explained everything thoroughly and then sent Su Jin away.As they left Peony Garden, Xingxing’s face was full of frustration. Having waited so long, only for nothing to happen, was truly disappointing. Although she didn’t have much faith in the girl’s ability to manage Prince Zhenbei Mansion. But not getting the managing authority and not being able to manage are two different matters. Moreover, this time it was Princess Nanzhang and Third Madam who plotted against Lady Chi first. Lady Chi’s silver notes were given to the girl. Weren’t they just eyeing the silver notes in the girl’s hands? "Miss, are we just going to let this matter go?" Xingxing asked. "Blame your young master for holding us back," Su Jin replied. With the maid taking the blame without refuting, there was nothing Su Jin could do about Princess Nanzhang. Unless she could find another witness to prove that the maid took the blame for Princess Nanzhang. Having to prove something she knows is false was something that wore Su Jin out. Though it wasn’t entirely fair to blame Xie Jingchen for everything. Su Jin wasn’t completely confident that the maid wouldn’t die, let alone turn back and bite Princess Nanzhang. Su Jin couldn’t fathom why a maid would willingly take the blame for something she didn’t do. But seeing Lady Chi and Xique kneeling until their knees were injured, yet all it took was Princess Nanzhang putting on an act to get away with it, left a bitter taste. Su Jin pondered along the way. Returning to Agarwood Pavilion, she went to the study room. Xie Jingchen was not there. She then went to the backyard. Still, Xie Jingchen wasn’t there. "Is the young master afraid of being blamed by you, so he ran off?" Xingxing speculated. Su Jin rolled her eyes. It’s just a small matter, would Xie Jingchen really need to hide from her? Even if he hides in the morning, he can’t hide in the afternoon. If he hides during the day, he can’t hide at night. Su Jin returned to the bamboo house, busy preparing medicine pills. Inside the house, Xie Jingchen sat reading a book. Finishing one book, he frowned. Why hasn’t she returned yet? A maid brought in peony flowers, Xie Jingchen asked, "Has the heir’s wife not returned?" "The heir’s wife is in the study," the maid replied. Xie Jingchen massaged his head. He had specifically waited in the inner room for her, yet she went to the backyard. Xie Jingchen put down the book and went out. As he entered the inner courtyard, a Hidden Guard just happened to climb over the wall. They met at the bamboo house’s courtyard gate, and the Hidden Guard handed over a purse. Xie Jingchen stepped into the house, met by Su Jin’s gaze upon him. Xie Jingchen handed the silver note to her. Su Jin raised an eyebrow, saying, "What is this for?" "To make amends for my mistake," Xie Jingchen said. "..." Su Jin casually took the silver note, saying, "This is ten thousand taels, are you sure you used the right word?" Shouldn’t it be to please you? Her mood was gloomy, and with ten thousand taels for shopping, any bad mood could brighten up. It’s just that the day was too bright, lacking a bit. "To compensate for missing a good show, I’m making up for it," Xie Jingchen said. Su Jin was perplexed. Xie Jingchen glanced at the Hidden Guard. The Hidden Guard handed the purse to Su Jin. Upon seeing the purse— Su Jin’s eyes suddenly widened with a smile. "This make amends move is quite ruthless," she laughed. She was thinking of finding a witness to prove the maid took the blame. Unexpectedly, Xie Jingchen had already let the Hidden Guard steal back Princess Nanzhang’s ten thousand taels of silver notes along with the purse given to Madam Fang to keep the managing authority. The involvement of Madam Fang in this matter couldn’t be confirmed, but she was definitely involved in helping Third Madam and Princess Nanzhang cover their lies. She was an accomplice. That ten thousand taels definitely weren’t paid by her. Now the silver note was in her hands, yet she lost it. Now, there’s truly a spectacle to be seen. How long did Princess Nanzhang manage affairs to accumulate ten thousand taels of fat, only to have Madam Fang lose it, she would definitely not be content. Helping Princess Nanzhang in the end cost Madam Fang ten thousand taels, she would not be content either. Since Third Madam acted as the intermediary, she would not escape responsibility if anything went wrong. Su Jin was overjoyed. By the window, the medicine was simmering, Su Jin lifted the medicine pot, the charcoal burning fiercely. Su Jin threw the purse into the charcoal fire.

She handed the silver note to Xingxing saying, "Keep this silver note safe, if a drought really happens, donate it." Xingxing nodded repeatedly. While Su Jin was happy, on the other side, Madam Fang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. It was hot, and everyone avoided going out if possible. This time she was helping Princess Nanzhang and Third Madam, so she had to make this trip. But as she was already out, going back like this felt wasteful. So, she detoured to the lively streets to shop for some jewelry. After choosing a golden hairpin, two pairs of earrings, and a jade bracelet, Madam Fang was ready to return to the mansion. As she sat back in the soft sedan chair, she discovered the purse missing. The purse contained a silver note worth ten thousand taels! Before leaving, she was worried about losing it and having to return it to Princess Nanzhang. But Princess Nanzhang did not take it, fearing Manager Li would ask, or worse, the Prince might come back and it wouldn’t make sense to have the purse but not the silver note. Madam Fang felt that the play should be fully played out, otherwise, all efforts would be in vain. Yet all the way from the estate, Manager Li hadn’t asked about anything, but she had lost the purse while shopping. She didn’t even know how it was lost; she clearly kept it in her bosom. Madam Fang was in a panic, searching through the soft sedan chair and shops, but no one had seen her purse. Madam Fang searched every possible place. Finally determining that the purse was truly lost. She anxiously returned to the Prince Mansion in the soft sedan chair. She hurriedly went to find Third Madam to discuss what to do. Seeing her come in drenched in sweat, Third Madam puzzledly asked, "Why has Sister-in-law returned?" "The silver note is lost," Madam Fang said anxiously. Third Madam’s face changed, her voice quickening, "How could the silver note be lost, is it hidden somewhere?" "I’ve searched everywhere I could, the purse and the silver note are truly lost," Madam Fang replied, distressed. If she weren’t sure it was lost, she wouldn’t have come to see Third Madam. Third Madam was too anxious to sit still. "That ten thousand taels belong to Princess Nanzhang, losing them can’t go uncompensated," Third Madam said. Madam Fang’s face was troubled. "I don’t even know how the purse was lost. I was diligently helping you, now I have to compensate ten thousand taels; is that reasonable?" Madam Fang’s voice was filled with anger. If she had returned the purse to Princess Nanzhang earlier when she took it, none of this would have happened. She would not compensate that ten thousand taels! Third Madam knew Madam Fang’s temperament; asking her to compensate ten thousand taels wasn’t possible. Could Princess Nanzhang just forget about it? Would she agree? If she hadn’t been involved, she could have used it as leverage to hold against her. Between the ten thousand taels and the managing authority, Princess Nanzhang would undoubtedly choose the managing authority. But she had a part in this. Third Madam’s head ached occasionally, seeing Madam Fang’s displeasure, Third Madam also felt unsettled. Even losing a purse—utterly incompetent. Not knowing what to do, Third Madam went to see Princess Nanzhang.
