Jiang Yuwei exchanged a glance with the princess and quickly spoke up:

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. I'll go out and take a look. You should rest."

The princess frowned and said in a deep voice:

"That Xu Qianqian is really a troublemaker. Now that she has miscarried, she doesn't take good care of herself and only knows how to cause trouble. She's really no pushover."

As she spoke, the princess looked at Jiang Yuwei.

"We're hosting a banquet for guests tomorrow. Go and find out what she's up to. Make sure there's no bloodshed today, lest we become a laughingstock and it become a bad omen."

Jiang Yuwei nodded.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

After saying that, Jiang Yuwei turned to Wang Ma, who was standing beside her:

“Wang Ma, I need to go to Xu Qianqian’s courtyard right now, and I’m afraid I won’t have time to send out invitations. I’ll trouble you to make the trip for me. I’ll take care of the kitchen later, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

Wang Ma nodded in agreement.

“Madam Jiang, leave this matter to me. Aunt Xu can’t wait any longer, you should go and take a look.”

Jiang Yuwei naturally knew what was important and what was urgent. She quickly bid farewell to the princess and left with the maid. Before leaving, she did not forget to take a few strong and sturdy servants with her from the princess's courtyard.

When Jiang Yuwei arrived at Xu Qianqian's courtyard, Ning Chunlin also arrived. Seeing Xu Qianqian's shrewish appearance, he quickly stepped forward to block Lian Yao.

"Xu Qianqian, what are you doing? Lianyao came to check on you because you miscarried. Why are you using scissors? Put them down quickly."

Several days after Xu Qianqian's miscarriage, Ning Chunlin had not come over. Now, upon hearing that Lian Yao was in trouble, he rushed over to stop Xu Qianqian. How could this not chill Xu Qianqian's heart?

Xu Qianqian, holding a pair of scissors, looked at Ning Chunlin with sorrow and cried out:

"Brother Chunlin, she killed our child with her own hands! How can you let her get away with this? You're okay with it, but I'm not!"

As she spoke, she was about to rush towards Lian Yao again, but seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly signaled the two servants beside her to stop Xu Qianqian.

Ning Chunlin, standing to the side, anxiously shouted:

"Quickly, stop this crazy woman!!"

Xu Qianqian never expected Ning Chunlin to call her a crazy woman. Her eyes immediately reddened, and she could no longer hold the scissors in her hand.

"Brother Chunlin, what did you call me?"

Seeing this, Ning Chunlin realized he had misspoke and quickly corrected himself:

"Qianqian, I misspoke in my haste just now, please don't blame me. Listen to me, Qianqian, right now the most important thing for you is to take good care of your health so that you don't develop any health problems later. We can talk about having children later. Even if we don't have children, I will still love you."

Xu Qianqian snorted coldly.

"Child, child, I will never have any more children. So what if I suffer from a chronic illness? At worst, I'll still be someone no one cares about. All you care about is protecting the murderer who killed our child!"

Ning Chunlin was rendered speechless by Xu Qianqian's accusations, so he turned around, his face flushed, and glared at the terrified Lian Yao, yelling:

"Why are you showing off like this out of the blue? Didn't I tell you not to bother Qianqian during this time? Why are you still running around in front of her looking for trouble?"

Seeing that Ning Chunlin had lost his temper, Lian Yao explained with red eyes:

"I... I just thought that Aunt Xu had lost her child and was going through a sad and heartbreaking time, so I came to keep her company. I never expected her to hate me so much. It's my fault too. I wish I were the one who died..."

As she spoke, Lianyao struggled and rammed into the pillar by the door. Her quick-witted maidservant, seeing this, immediately reached out and caught Lianyao, calling out:

"Young Master, please have mercy! Our young lady hasn't eaten or drunk anything for days. She doesn't have the strength to go through all this trouble. We can't let one die and then force another to die!"

Xu Qianqian, who had already calmed down, seemed to be stimulated again by these words.

"She deserves to die. She should pay for my child's life. Humph, she came to my courtyard to put on an act. Lian Yao, you bitch, if you really had any intentions, you should die here today, and I would still respect you as a human being!"

Jiang Yuwei watched all this with a cold eye. She naturally knew what the two were up to, but she wasn't in the mood to watch the show. There was a lot of work waiting for her on Jin Street.

"Enough! The Princess Consort said she wants to die outside. The Prince's mansion cannot bear a drop of blood today. There is a banquet at the mansion tomorrow, and no one is allowed to cause any trouble. Otherwise, get out of the mansion!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, everyone lost their previous arrogance. After all, no one wanted to be kicked out of the Prince's mansion—a Lianyao without status, and a concubine who had lost her child and had a bad background.

Either of these two princesses could kick them out of the mansion at will without needing a reason. If they still didn't behave after Jiang Yuwei said that, then they would truly be brainless.

Seeing that the two had now given up, Jiang Yuwei waved her hand and said:

"Everyone, calm down. Young Master, you should take Miss Lianyao back to your own courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Ning Chunlin nodded hurriedly and left in a hurry with Lian Yao and a group of maids and servants. Xu Qianqian looked at their backs and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yuwei couldn't help but frown and say:

"You really are a fool. Right now you have nothing to rely on. What's the point of making such a fuss? It just makes the two of them feel even stronger. Humph, think about it carefully."

As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei instructed the servant in Xu Qianqian's courtyard:

"Keep a close eye on her, all of you. If she causes any more trouble, you'll all be sold off!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuwei left without looking back, leading two servants from the Princess's courtyard.

Jiang Yuwei first went to the kitchen in the backyard to find the head maid and instruct her on the menu to be prepared for tomorrow. Then she went to find the maid who managed the courtyard and asked her to arrange for someone to clean up the front hall and place a few beautiful potted flowers there.

She also ordered people to prepare several zithers and musical instruments, as well as embroidery frames and painting easels, and even a calligraphy table. Jiang Yuwei prepared a variety of things so that she could use them as needed the next day.

After arranging things at the Prince's Mansion, Jiang Yuwei took Yun Qing and Xia Yue to Jin Street. Today was the day Old Wangtou's renovations were completed, and Jiang Yuwei was going to inspect and settle the payment.

To their surprise, as soon as the three entered the shop, they saw a large, obese woman sitting in the middle of the shop, crying and shouting:

"You bastards! How could you ruin my shop like this? This is my shop! Get out! Get out of here! This is outrageous! This is lawless! In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how can there be such people!"

The fat woman cried and screamed, pounding the ground with her fists.

"All of you, get out of here! If you don't leave, I'll kill myself right here today!"
