"Granddaughter Youxue greets her grandmother!" Qian Youxue walked gracefully to her grandmother and bowed.

"Good, good, quickly pay your respects to His Highness the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince!" The old lady's face lit up when she saw Qian Youxue; anyone with eyes could see her affection for the eldest young lady.

Qian Yingxue was very dissatisfied with her grandmother's favoritism, and muttered to herself, "What time is it, and she's only now coming to pay her respects!"

Everyone present heard these words. Qian Sheng pretended to be angry and scolded, "Shut up, or get out of here!"

snort!

Qian Yingxue pouted unhappily and took a few steps back to hide behind her second sister.

Qian Youxue pretended not to hear and stepped forward to bow slightly to the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince: "This humble woman greets Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the Fifth Prince!"

"Get up!" The Crown Prince raised his hand, not even glancing at Qian Youxue. At this moment, his eyes were only on Qian Muxue's beautiful face. He simply couldn't stand looking at this ugly woman.

The Fifth Prince smiled faintly, glanced at Qian Youxue out of the corner of his eye, then raised his hand and looked back at Qian Muxue.

Qian Youxue wasn't angry. Anyway, she had no interest in either of these men, especially the Fifth Prince. Thinking about what happened that day, she really wanted to whip him to death.

"Youxue, come to Grandmother's side!" The old lady beckoned to Qian Youxue with a loving expression and pulled her to sit down beside her.

Seeing this, Aunt Liu hated the old lady to the core. Even a fool could see what the old lady's intention was.

After Qian Youxue obediently sat down, the old lady slowly spoke: "I'm not afraid of Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince laughing at me, but Youxue is the eldest daughter of the Qian family, and now it's time for her to get married. I'm thinking of finding her a good family to marry into, so that the other girls in the Qian family can get married."

What's the meaning?

Upon hearing his mother's words, Qian Sheng tensed up and stared intently at her, only to be met with a glare from her, which frightened him so much that he lowered his head without daring to utter a sound.

Qian Yingxue and Qian Yuexue were so angry that they gritted their teeth. Wasn't this a blatant lie that ugly women couldn't get married, and that the other women in the Qian family had no choice but to stay obediently in the Qian family?

Aunt Liu glanced anxiously at Qian Sheng, but Qian Sheng ignored her. Aunt Meng, on the other hand, remained very calm, as if she had expected this outcome.

The Crown Prince frowned, a bad feeling creeping over him. He glanced at Prime Minister Qian and saw that he hadn't disobeyed the Old Madam. He then glanced at Qian Muxue.

Qian Muxue maintained the same expression, revealing neither joy nor anger; her calm and serene demeanor added a touch of refined beauty.

The Fifth Prince's eyes flashed with a hint of joy. If the old lady forced the ugly monster onto the Crown Prince, his opportunity would come. Therefore, he was very willing to see such a situation.

"Madam, Prime Minister Qian, I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now!" The Crown Prince felt the atmosphere had become awkward, so he simply got up and left.

"It's been a while since I paid my respects to the Empress Dowager, let's go together!" The Fifth Prince also stood up.

"Mother, I am seeing off the two princes." Qian Sheng stood up and cupped his hands in greeting to his mother.

The old lady also stood up, letting Qian Youxue help her to the door of the house, and then, citing feeling unwell, did not follow her out.

Seeing that the Crown Prince and his entourage had left, Aunt Liu and the others also planned to leave quickly. However, before they could speak, the old lady spoke again: "You all come in and wait. Lan'er, go and tell the master to come over in a while. I have something to say."

"Yes!" Lan'er accepted the order and followed Prime Minister Qian out of the courtyard gate.
