Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Ye Shuangshuang shook her head, looking deeply hurt: "Mother, you don’t have to do this, I’m not angry, it’s just that the Emperor bestowed upon me the Princess Mansion, and it wouldn’t be proper if I didn’t live there.

Moreover, daughters eventually leave home when they marry. Mother, consider me already married off. In the future, I will come back often to visit you, so please don’t be annoyed by me then."

Zhao Wan wanted to say something more, but Ye Shuangshuang looked up at Zhao Wan with a very sad and reluctant expression: "Mother, I beg you, say no more. I, I don’t want you to be troubled."

After speaking, Ye Shuangshuang decisively turned and left with her people, her departing figure hurried and rather miserable, looking inexplicably pitiful.

Zhao Wan leaned powerlessly on Nanny Wan’s hand, gritting her teeth as she looked at Qin Muchen’s bewildered face, feeling utterly deflated, with nothing left to say.

Ye Shuangshuang left at an extremely fast pace, and within less than a quarter of an hour after everything happened, she was already in the carriage leaving Prince Nan Mansion. She finally no longer had to live in Prince Nan Mansion.

Seated in the swaying carriage, her hand gently touching the sachet at her waist, Ye Shuangshuang couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile.

The carriage passed by a beautiful lotus pond, a favorite spot for the Nobles of the Capital City to enjoy the lake view. Ye Shuangshuang lifted the curtain and threw the sachet out. With a ’plop’, it fell into the lotus pond.

Ye Shuangshuang hadn’t expected to extricate herself from Prince Nan Mansion so swiftly this time. She thought it would take some time, but it was all thanks to Princess Anping.

Ever since she accidentally encountered Princess Anping and Qin Muchen, Ye Shuangshuang suddenly came up with a plan. She asked Lv Fei to find two little palace maids who came with her and deliberately said something not far from the Waterside Pavilion.

A sentence that Princess Anping, inside the Waterside Pavilion, would certainly be interested in hearing: "Sister, hurry up, our Princess and the Commandery Princess are fighting again!"

Princess Anping, who would do anything for gossip, couldn’t sit still upon hearing that Ye Shuangshuang and Qin Muchen were arguing, and immediately wanted to eavesdrop.

Her entourage, eager to please, not only didn’t dissuade Princess Anping but followed her along. The more people came, the happier Ye Shuangshuang was.

As for why Qin Muchen lost control and said those words, it was because of the sachet Ye Shuangshuang wore at her waist, which contained special fragrance powder she had prepared.

This fragrance powder caused temporary confusion when smelled, leading to a loss of self-control, making the person extremely vulnerable to provocation.

Once provoked, they would impulsively reveal their true thoughts, saying things they usually suppress.

Qin Muchen was particularly easy to provoke. With just a couple of mocking glances from Ye Shuangshuang, she was provoked into saying what Ye Shuangshuang wanted others to hear.

Of course, this scent effect is significantly weakened for those with strong willpower. For example, Ye Shuangshuang herself wore it for so many days without being affected.

If someone like Zhao Wan smelled it, she would only feel a little irritable. Qin Muchen’s susceptibility was due to her own lack of mental resilience.

"Princess, are we going back to the Princess Mansion now?" Nanzhu asked, looking at Ye Shuangshuang who sat in the carriage with closed eyes resting.

Ye Shuangshuang shook her head: "No, go to the Imperial Palace. Today I am due to check the Emperor’s pulse." Ye Shuangshuang wouldn’t return to the Princess Mansion and give Zhao Wan a chance to find her.

Zhao Wan certainly wouldn’t allow Qin Muchen’s reputation to be ruined and would play the family card, asking Ye Shuangshuang to join her in sending a message to Prince Anping to restrain his daughter from speaking out.

This wouldn’t do. If Qin Muchen’s words didn’t spread, how could Ye Shuangshuang manage to reduce her visits to Prince Nan Mansion? Now the only place Ye Shuangshuang could avoid Zhao Wan and Qin Peijun was in the Imperial Palace.

Ye Shuangshuang hid in the Imperial Palace for three days. Zhao Wan alone couldn’t suppress Prince Anping, and the events of that day were indeed spread by Princess Anping with added exaggerations.

Now the entire Capital City was filled with rumors, with everyone gossiping about Qin Muchen. Qin Muchen herself was not one to bear responsibility, not to mention she was a loser in house battles in her past life.

Ye Shuangshuang had once been almost forced to despair by Qin Muchen because Ye Shuangshuang valued her bond with Zhao Wan and Qin Peijun and never put up resistance.

These rumors shattered Qin Muchen’s composure, causing her to hide away indoors, unable to face anything outside.

Zhao Wan and Qin Peijun were in a fluster, because due to Qin Muchen’s words, people started to talk about Prince Nan Mansion as well.

People always believe there’s no smoke without fire, and Qin Muchen’s words prompted external speculation about whether her attitude reflected Zhao Wan’s and Qin Peijun’s as well.

It wasn’t possible that Qin Peijun and Zhao Wan were unaware of their daughter’s attitude toward the adopted daughter; did they condone Qin Muchen’s words, or did they share her sentiment?

Initially, Zhao Wan and Qin Peijun attempted to find Ye Shuangshuang to suppress the matter together, only to learn that Ye Shuangshuang had gone to the Imperial Palace to tend to the Emperor’s health.

Everyone knew that the Emperor’s health was poor, requiring Ye Shuangshuang’s care, so Zhao Wan and Qin Peijun naturally dared not seek her in the Imperial Palace.

Fortunately, after leaving the Imperial Palace, Ye Shuangshuang immediately hosted a banquet at the Princess Mansion, the first invitee being Zhao Wan, during which she expressed enough filial affection to clear Zhao Wan’s and Qin Peijun’s images.

In this way, Zhao Wan’s and Qin Peijun’s reputations were preserved, and the rumors fell solely on Qin Muchen. Ye Shuangshuang’s actions dispelled Zhao Wan’s and Qin Peijun’s suspicions of her.

Originally, Zhao Wan and Qin Peijun had some suspicion that Ye Shuangshuang had intentionally orchestrated the drama; however, seeing her eager to rehabilitate their image upon leaving the Imperial Palace...

Plus, the words were spoken by Qin Muchen herself, and it was a coincidence that Zhao Wan happened to be there when it occurred, eliminating the possibility of design.

Moreover, considering Qin Muchen’s previous behavior, who couldn’t hold back from speaking ill of Ye Shuangshuang when no one was around, Zhao Wan and Qin Peijun genuinely didn’t doubt she could do it.

With suspicions dispelled, Zhao Wan and Qin Peijun fully believed Ye Shuangshuang was still the dutiful, filial daughter she had always been.

However, although relieved, Zhao Wan and Qin Peijun were thoroughly annoyed with Qin Muchen for her recklessness, failing to achieve anything but ruin. If not for Qin Muchen’s loose talk, Ye Shuangshuang might have continued living at Prince Nan Mansion.

A Princess with unique affections would have benefitted Prince Nan Mansion incalculably, but due to the chaos created, Ye Shuangshuang couldn’t respectfully return to live there.

Everything was stirred up by this troublemaker Qin Muchen, and Zhao Wan and Qin Peijun began to regret acknowledging this daughter. To have some peace of mind, Zhao Wan decisively sent Qin Muchen to the manor.

No matter how Qin Muchen cried and feared, Zhao Wan and Qin Peijun showed no pity. After all, the manor was well-supplied, and they considered themselves to have done their duty to this daughter.
