Yan Li returned to the Duke Residence and asked what exactly happened with Ning Yao, the Crown Prince's wife?
Ning Yao told the truth. Seeing Yan Li's grave expression, she realized she didn't do anything wrong, but she did not expect Su Rong and Fen Ling to behave so absurdly with Duanhua which was beyond normal people's understanding. They caught her off guard and caused her to be the butt of jokes made by every household in the Capital City.
However, she couldn't claim innocence. Now that outsiders were laughing at her and ridiculing the Crown Prince because of her, she was indeed at fault.
Therefore, she apologized to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, it is my fault. As the saying goes, 'know your enemy and know yourself.' I did not understand the Su siblings completely and hence couldn't devise an effective response strategy. I allowed them to take the lead and act wildly in front of me, leaving me helpless and become an object of ridicule."
