Three years later
The situation in the Capital had changed greatly.
It started with Duke Zhen's Mansion.
Three years earlier, after the conversation between Su Li and the Twelfth Prince at the banquet, she returned home to find that, although the plotline had changed beyond recognition, what was meant to come still came.
Compared to her previous life, the dragon-phoenix twins had not encountered misfortune this time; instead, they were thriving more as they grew up outside the mansion.
Ms. Zhang had also reunited with her cousin, and everything seemed to be developing in a positive direction.
Although Mr. Chang had thrown in the conflict with the Eldest Prince to distract, in truth, their discord had not escalated to life-or-death enmity.
But after returning from the banquet and stepping into the study, Su Li knew instantly that someone had been there, and there were traces of disturbance.
