The servants nearby quickly snapped out of their daze and, following their master's orders, hurriedly stopped their mistress from continuing her antics.

The Eighth Prince's wife, who was being stopped, was already furious. In her eyes, the Eighth Prince's behavior was protecting that vile woman, Wang.

Suddenly, once again blinded by anger (and the effects of the drugs), the Eighth Prince's wife launched into a loud accusation against him, accusing him of favoring his concubine over his wife...

In an instant, all sound fell silent. Everyone was stunned by the Eighth Prince's wife's audacity—she was exposing the family's dirty laundry! So disrespectful to her master…

For a moment, Jiaming felt sorry for the Eighth Prince's wife. After all, it might not have been her intention, but rather she was influenced by the drugs. However, she immediately remembered how the other woman always treated her with disdain whenever they met. Jiaming, being the perceptive person she was, quickly suppressed her pitiful feelings and continued to focus on watching the show.

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted before he could concentrate for even a moment.

"Cough cough!"

Jiaming and the others looked over at the sound and saw the Crown Prince clenching his fist to his mouth, clearly the dry cough was coming from the Crown Prince.

"Alright, it's almost time. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll head back to the palace now."

Clearly, the Crown Prince was giving the Eighth Prince a way out by leaving on his own initiative.

The eldest prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince, who were behind the crown prince, followed closely behind him and all found excuses to return to their residences.

With the men having all gone home, Jiaming and the others, as family members, naturally couldn't stay to watch the play.

At first, Jiaming was disappointed because she really wanted to see what happened next. However, after thinking about what Wang had gone through several times, Jiaming was no longer disappointed. No matter what happened next, at least for now, she was satisfied with Wang's experience in this counter-scheme.
