  Qin Xiu listened and secretly laughed in her heart, so she said that people shouldn't be annoying like this. Jin Shu was quiet and didn't say a word, but surprisingly, he also found the Crown Prince's consort annoying. It can be seen that as the mistress of the house, the Crown Prince's consort had indeed provoked public outrage. Now that the clever and intelligent Li Lankun had entered the door, Qin Xiu could confirm that from now on, the Crown Prince's consort would not have a good life.

  However, Jin Shu was also strange. She had been married for two years when her husband died. Her husband's family was the Ping'an Hou Mansion, a noble family that had passed down their title for four or five generations. They were a large family with hundreds of people, so it was impossible that there was no place for a widow like Jin Shu to live. Although she did not have any children, she wanted to observe mourning rituals for her husband and should naturally be living in her husband's family home. So why couldn't she stay in her husband's family home and had to return to her natal family to observe mourning rituals?

  Chu Ke thought to herself, from now on her husband's family would at least be a marquis or prime minister's household, so she had to be more mindful of her actions and behavior. The sense of superiority that she had cultivated as a princess in her past life needed to be changed quickly. This lifetime, without the strong backing of her previous life, she could only rely on herself.

  Jin Shu, who usually didn't speak much, also said something about the Crown Prince's consort at this sensitive moment, and all the young ladies looked towards the three sisters of the Chu family.

  The three of them naturally looked calm and collected, no one would lose their composure. Chu Ke thought about his own affairs, and didn't react at all.

  "Miss, our master and mistress, as well as the old gentleman, have arrived," said Nian'er, Chu Yunting's maid, rushing in somewhat anxiously.

  The three sisters all stood up, Chu Kei was the most excited to hear that, today must follow her back, she went out first, Chu Yun Ting and Chu Yun Qing did not expect her to be so anxious, especially Chu Yun Ting, who glared at her from behind before following her out.

  Hua Mei and Yu Feng were outside when they saw Chu Ke Qi coming out, the two of them hastily went up to greet her. Hua Mei smiled and said: "Miss is going to the front yard?"

  Chu Ke nodded and walked along the corridor to the gate of the courtyard, where he met Mrs. Chu and Madam Chu. As soon as they reached the gate, they saw a group of people standing beside the artificial hill in the small courtyard outside, including Old Master Chu, Old Madam Chu and others. Opposite them stood a man dressed in bright red clothes, exuding an air of joy, who was none other than the Crown Prince, just about to kneel down.

  Chu Kei hastily stopped in her tracks, standing still to watch the commotion. Although she couldn't hear what was being said from that side, the expressions on the faces of the people facing her were crystal clear.

  The prince was facing the other way, but his movements were clear. When it was time to kneel down, a maid following behind him tried to rush forward and place a cushion in front of him, but the prince clearly stretched out his hand to stop her.

  This is outside, the ground is either a dirt road or a bluestone road. The place where Master Chu and others are standing now is a small stone-paved path. Kneeling on this is no different from being punished.

  The Crown Prince is using a trick of desperation.

  Chu Lao Hanlin's face was full of wrinkles, and it was hard to discern any expression on his face. However, based on observations over the past few months since Chu Ke came back, as well as what his brothers said, one should be able to tell that Chu Lao Hanlin is a relatively good-tempered and easy-going person in the Chu family, and the only truly upright person in the manor. Indeed, before the young master even had time to kneel down, Chu Lao Hanlin was already supporting him with both hands, ignoring the ugly expression on Lady Chu's face beside him as he shook his head, indicating that he didn't blame him.

  The crown prince stood up straight and spoke with the old Hanlin from Chu for a while. With his intelligence, he naturally sensed the unpleasant expression on the face of Old Lady Chu beside him, so he slightly turned around and bowed his head to her.

  Madam Chu did not move, and the young master actually knelt down on the small stone road. The old Hanlin beside him hastily helped him up, nodding his head to comfort the young master while slightly scolding Madam Chu with a tilted head. Madam Chu finally forced a more gentle expression and nodded at the young master.

  The young master's courtesy was not yet over, and he said something to Chu Dage and Chu Nancai, who nodded slightly and maintained the demeanor of a father-in-law, but his face looked somewhat unnatural. As they spoke, the young master knelt down again, but this time it was more obvious that he was just going through the motions. Chu Nancai didn't wait for the young master to actually kneel, and hastily helped him up with both hands. It seemed that by doing so, the young master's face had already been saved, and this time his expression really did relax, and he patted the young master's arm lightly, nodding repeatedly, as if saying: I understand, I understand...

  It seems that now only one person has achieved a win-win situation, and that is the Crown Prince alone. He married two wives, one of whom was the granddaughter of the Three Dynasties' Taizi Shao Shi, and the other was the daughter of the current second-grade official. His strength is considered to be far ahead among the princes of the same rank, not to mention Zhu Yujie.

  Chu Ke'er was watching the commotion over here, while behind her, Chu Yun'ting and Chu Yun'qing had already walked up. The two of them also saw the situation in front of them and stopped in their tracks to wait for them to finish talking.

  Chu Yunqing stood beside Chu Kejie, slightly to the left. Chu Kejie felt that she was very anxious, although she tried her best to appear calm and composed, keeping her head down to cover up the extremely uneasy expression on her face. However, Chu Kejie glanced at her briefly and even saw that her fingertips exposed outside of her sleeves were trembling slightly.

  What made Chu Xiang's heart so shocked and frightened? What was wrong with Chu Yunqing today? Was it just because of the flower-shaped decoration on her forehead? Was she so nervous about confessing to Zhu Yuxiu? How could it be that serious? Looking at her tense and frightened appearance, it seemed as if someone's life was at stake.

  On the other side, Chu Yun Ting seemed to have not noticed Chu Yun Qing's loss of composure. She herself was a bit dazed and her eyes were looking at the people outside the courtyard, but her gaze was clearly scattered. Her mind had already flown elsewhere, and she furrowed her brow slightly, lost in thought.

  On the other side, Shizi had already bid farewell to the entire Chu family and was now walking towards this direction with Old Lady Chu and Madame Chu. Meanwhile, Chunan and Shizi were supporting Old Man Chu as they walked forward.

  Chu Ke'er let out a gentle cough, startling the two sisters who were lost in thought. Just as they were about to move forward, voices came from behind them: "The Princess of the Duke has arrived."

  Chu Ke Hui turned around to see the King's wife leading a group of people over, and surprisingly, the Crown Prince's wife was by her side. The Crown Prince's wife was wearing a light gray brocade wide-sleeved narrow-waisted fine silk blouse, a pink soft gauze skirt with embroidered bamboo patterns, and had a bun on her head adorned with two gold hairpins. For the Crown Prince's wife who always paid attention to appearances, today's outfit could be described as being in mourning.

  She hastily retreated and stood by the side of the road, watching as the Duchess approached with a smile on her face. Old Lady Chu bowed her head to pay respects: "Greetings, Your Excellency..."

  The princess rushed forward and held up the old lady with both hands, calling out softly: "Mother..."

  Madam Chu seemed to want to force her head down, but Chu Kei heard the king's wife say in a low voice: "Mother, do you want your daughter to be so ashamed that she can't face you?"

  Madam Chu slowly straightened up, looked at the princess and saw that she was holding her hands with tears in her eyes: "Mother, don't blame me..."

  Madam Chu sighed: "It's no wonder." She glanced sideways at the Crown Prince's consort and said in a low voice, "The only ones to blame are ourselves for not being capable enough."

  The princess consort let out a sound that was both a sob and a sigh, a sound that contained infinite grievances and unspoken bitterness. Old Lady Chu looked over, wanting to say something but not saying it, shaking her head. Meanwhile, the duchess took advantage of Old Lady Chu looking at the princess consort to give her a warning glance.

  Chu Xue was just beside, seeing the expressions of everyone clearly, and also shaking her head in her heart, but still thinking about her own affairs: Today, no matter what, she must follow him back, the water in the Junwang Mansion is getting more and more muddy, and if she stays here any longer, it's hard to guarantee that she can leave safely.

  The princess consort couldn't hold back, seeing her family members, she was already prone to emotional excitement, let alone at this moment of grievance, the warning glance from the duchess had a ripple effect, she pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve and covered her mouth, sobbing quietly...

  Everyone was stunned.

  The county princess's face turned green with rage. If it weren't for the fact that they were in front of Old Lady Chu, she would have had this shameful daughter-in-law dragged away...

  Even Old Lady Lianchu glared at the Crown Prince's consort with a fierce gaze, scolding in a low voice: "Everyone is about to enter, why not just graciously welcome them? Now is not the time to cry, are you ashamed of yourself, dragging both your natal and marital families into this?"

  Upon hearing what Madam Chu said, the Princess of the Imperial Uncle nodded secretly and, suppressing her anger, looked at the Crown Prince's Consort and said in a low voice: "Yes, didn't I say so? Entering the door and setting rules for her, what grievances can she have?"

  The princess covered her face and sobbed quietly, the king's wife was afraid that guests would arrive at this moment and see it, so she hastily signaled to the princess's maid beside her, Caiyun and Caixia were in a panic like rabbits with their tails bitten off, they came forward one by one and supported the princess away.

  Madam Chu and the Princess of Jun looked at her back as she walked away, both shaking their heads in unison.

  Chu Yunting rushed forward to pay respects to Old Lady Chu, and only then did Chu Keqi and Chu Yunqing step forward together to pay their respects. Old Lady Chu looked at the three of them shaking her head and said: "You all are indeed carefree, forgetting about Shu."

  Chu Yun Ting covered her mouth and smiled: "Auntie's house has many sisters, my daughter is with her cousins every day, she really can't think of anything else"

  Chu Ke'er lowered her head and listened to her strongly implied words. Now, the only one who can support her is Chu Lao Furen. Is she trying to pull out Chu Lao Furen?

  Madam Chu was completely unaware, smiling and nodding as if about to say something, when the Princess of the County had already smiled and said: "Let's go inside quickly, Mother must be tired from standing?" As she spoke, she supported Madam Chu by the arm and walked with her into the courtyard. Chu Kei naturally knew that it was not her turn to support her mother, so she retreated a step back, showing great self-awareness. Sure enough, Chu Yun Ting rushed forward to support the other side, and the few of them walked slowly over. Only then did Chu Kei's stepmother, the young new Madam Chu, Chu Gao Shi, follow behind.

  It is by.
