"Madam, please don't cry." Granny Qian stepped forward to support Madam. "The master is just angry for a moment. He'll be fine after a few days when his anger subsides."

"Granny...do you think the Fourth Master knows something?" The Fujin grabbed Granny Qian's hand, her grip was a bit strong, and Granny Qian felt a pain.

Before Granny Qian could reply, she chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Calm down? With Madam Li constantly whispering in his ear, how easy is it to calm the Fourth Master down?"

Granny Qian sighed helplessly and said, "Madam, you mustn't think like that. You are the principal wife, the legitimate wife whom the Fourth Prince married with proper ceremony. You gave birth to the Second Prince for the Fourth Prince. No one can replace you."

"Is that so?" The princess looked up at the nanny, her face streaked with tears. "Do you really think so?"

The old woman nodded heavily: "Yes, Madam. In my heart, you will always be the Fourth Prince's primary wife, the mistress of this mansion."

The princess smiled slightly, but the smile was extremely bitter: "She is just a primary wife who has lost the heart of the Fourth Prince."

The Fujin (Prince Consort) saw it very clearly: neither her previous assertiveness nor her current show of weakness had managed to keep the Fourth Prince from leaving. She had already figured it out in her heart.

Today, the Fujin's show of weakness was at the urging of Granny Qian, but she never expected that the Fourth Prince would now be so unyielding to her, neither soft nor hard tactics.

The old woman's expression changed, and she quickly said, "Madam, please don't say that. The master still has feelings for you, otherwise he wouldn't have taken away Wu's power and put you in charge of the inner quarters."

"Managing the affairs of the inner courtyard?" The Fujin sneered. "Do you think he's relinquishing power to me? Then why did she bring my second prince to the front courtyard?"

In the end, the wife blamed the fourth prince again.

The power to manage the household should belong to her, the Second Prince should be raised by her side, and the Fujin should not favor the concubine over the wife...

The princess cried for a while, then gradually calmed down.

She looked at Granny Qian and said, "Since Fourth Master wants me to take good care of Li Shi, then I will take good care of Li Shi. Right now, Fourth Master is still angry with me, so I can't do anything else. Let's wait a while and push Liu Shi out."

The princess would not allow herself to be mired in prolonged sorrow; that would be the most unwise thing to do.

She quickly came up with a solution.
