The Eighth Prince's wife understood the reasoning, but she couldn't bring herself to admit defeat.

"Granny, please stop talking."

Upon hearing this, the old woman sighed inwardly. She was also troubled! She knew the Princess Consort's temperament all too well, but she still didn't understand her.

Things are alright now that we're away, but if things continue like this, life will be much harder when we return to Beijing!

When the time comes, the princess will understand and want to back down. But then, who knows what the master will think.

She understood that the master hadn't truly angered the wife yet, and as long as the wife was willing to back down, the two could definitely reconcile.

If this stalemate continues, even the strongest feelings will fade.

Next, the Eighth Prince's wife became rather absent-minded, and accidentally pricked her finger with an embroidery needle.

"ah!"

Upon hearing this, the nanny asked anxiously, "Madam, are you alright?"

As she spoke, the old woman took a handkerchief and used it to stop the bleeding: "Madam, why don't you stop embroidering?"

The embroidered items are never used.

The Eighth Prince's wife sighed: "I won't embroider anymore."

With nothing to pass the time, the Eighth Prince's wife said, "I wonder when we can go back."

The old woman said, "It probably won't be long before we go back home for the New Year."

The Eighth Prince's wife had come on a high-spirited journey, but the events that occurred along the way destined her to return disappointed.

It's really unsettling to think about.

"Granny, it seems we'll have to start wearing cotton-padded coats in the capital this month!"

"Yes, the weather in Guangzhou is warm, so it's hard to feel. If you ask me, why doesn't the Princess Consort take advantage of the good weather and go out for a walk with the Master? It would be more enjoyable than staying cooped up in the house."

The Eighth Prince's wife didn't like staying cooped up in her room, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Master is busy!"

"If you ask me, Master is definitely thinking about his wife. I've heard that Master hasn't taken any of his maids with him these days."

The Eighth Prince's wife was already somewhat wavering.

The old woman continued, "If you ask me what happened that day, perhaps it was a scheme orchestrated by someone with ulterior motives. Otherwise, how could the Princess Consort have found the Master so quickly and witnessed his absurd behavior? If you ask me, perhaps the Master was also being manipulated. Your quarrel with the Master is probably playing right into their hands."

The old woman's words were naturally without evidence. Although the events of that day were too coincidental, the old woman did not suspect anything. She only said this to comfort the Eighth Prince's wife.

This is exactly what they mean by "a lucky accident".

The Eighth Prince's wife was taken aback upon hearing this. After listening to the nanny's words, she carefully considered the situation that day and realized that it was indeed a coincidence. She hadn't noticed it at the time, and was too shocked to pay much attention afterwards. Now that she thought about it, it was indeed a coincidence.

Could it really be a scheme orchestrated by someone with ulterior motives?

But what the Eighth Prince did that day was really not a reaction to being drugged. If he was truly being plotted against, it didn't seem like he was under the influence of drugs. To put it bluntly, he had to blame himself for his improper conduct, otherwise, no one would have had the opportunity to take advantage of him.

The Eighth Prince's wife was still indignant, but perhaps the old nanny's words of comfort had an effect, and she began to consider giving in.

If she is arrogant, the nanny does understand her, but not thoroughly.

Her pride was understandable, but in Prince An's mansion, if she wasn't a little proud, how could she win her maternal grandfather's favor? After all, Prince An liked that kind of junior.

However, Prince An could not keep an eye on the backyard at all times. She suffered a lot of grievances and it was true that she was reluctant to back down, but she still understood the stakes involved.

She was unwilling to back down before, but no one ever gave her a good reason.

The old woman gave a rather dubious reason, but although she was still indignant, having a reason was like having a way out, and it wasn't impossible for her to back down.

Thinking about it now, the Eighth Prince's wife said, "Now that I think about it, there are indeed some problems. This was not done properly. What do you think should be done, Granny?"

Upon hearing this, the nanny's face lit up with joy; the princess had finally taken her words to heart.

"I heard that Your Highness was busy in the study. It seems that His Majesty asked Your Highness to do a task with Prince Yong. You are so busy that you sometimes don't even have time to eat. Why don't you cook a soup and send it to Your Highness yourself?"

After hearing this, the Eighth Prince's wife thought about it and decided that it wasn't entirely impossible.

No sooner said than done. It's almost lunchtime, so let's go check on the kitchen now.

When the Eighth Prince's wife expressed her thoughts, the nanny was naturally overjoyed and immediately sent someone to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for making soup.

Not only that, the fact that the nanny and the princess were going to make soup for the Eighth Prince became common knowledge in the courtyard.

There are always some gossipy people in the courtyard. Normally, you might find them annoying, but now it seems they're actually quite useful.

Therefore, there are only people who don't know how to use people, not useless people.

The Eighth Prince's wife had just entered the kitchen when the Eighth Prince arrived shortly after.

When they arrived, no one was in the room. The Eighth Prince asked, "Where is the Princess Consort?"

At this moment, a maid said, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort is making soup for you in the kitchen!"

The Eighth Prince was stunned.

I made him some soup. Did he hear me right? The sun didn't rise in the west today.

His wife made him soup, which was rather... somewhat terrifying.

After regaining his senses, the Eighth Prince decided to investigate further.

"Where's the kitchen? Lead the way."

He couldn't believe it until he saw it with his own eyes.

His wife's pride was unmatched, even by the peacocks kept in his father's villa. The idea of ​​her making soup for him just sounds ridiculous!

The Eighth Prince became interested and quickly went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, the Eighth Prince's wife was indeed making soup.

However, her soup-making method is somewhat different from traditional soup-making.

She didn't need to prepare the ingredients; she only needed to put them into a pot with water, then take the seasonings handed to her by the cook and add them in. She didn't need to worry about anything else.
