Chapter 5

I stayed quietly at the residence for two days, then Qin Su impatiently came to find me.

Because of the distinguished guest, my father specifically allowed me to come out from the backyard.

[Why haven't you come to see me these past few days?]

I nervously clutched my sleeve, my expression bitter.

[It's because my father put me under house arrest, I couldn't send you a message.]

Qin Su's furrowed brows relaxed, although I didn't have my father's favor, I am still the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

The Ministry of Revenue holds the court's finances, and as the Vice Minister, my father can certainly profit from it.

And that's precisely what Qin Su needs.

Qin Su patted my hand.

[I will go and have a word with Uncle, in half a month's time you still need to attend the Eldest Princess's flower appreciation banquet.]

I bit my lip, feeling desolate, and shook my head.

[I'd better not go, otherwise father might despise me.]
