In Baili Yen's heart, she actually never gave up the idea of winning over Qin Qingnan. She just wanted to temporarily deal with the Queen.
She still hoped for a turn of events.
For instance, even if she no longer actively interfered in Qin Qingnan's marriage, she could still remotely control Qin's parents to spare no effort in breaking up this marriage. Once Qin's parents dismantled the marriage, she could naturally be with Qin Qingnan, and by then, the Queen would have nothing to say.
So she always believed that she and Qin Qingnan still had a very strong chance.
As long as there was hope, she would never apologize to Lin Ziran. And if there was no hope, she had even more reason not to apologize to Lin Ziran. Even in losing, she would lose with pride. How could a princess of the Royal Family apologize to a civilian woman?
