Wang also laughed and said, "The old lady is right. It's my daughter-in-law who is too nervous."
As she spoke, Old Madam Chen looked at Chen Jingxi with a loving smile and said, "Xi'er, I heard that you defeated Princess Xiqi at the banquet?"
Chen Jingxi nodded.
"Xi'er is worthy of being the legitimate daughter of our Chen family. First, she won the title of the most talented woman, and this time she defeated Princess Xiqi. Now the whole capital is praising her. Our Chen family has raised daughters well."

"That's fine. I don't have anything important to do in this mansion. But why did Princess suddenly think of managing the dowry? Didn't you say before..."
"Before, I was ignorant and too lazy to care about these things, but these days, I have figured it out. As the mistress of the Su Palace, if I need my family to help me take care of even my dowry, how can the prince trust me to manage the palace."
"If the power of the palace falls into the hands of someone else, how will others view me and the upbringing of my Chen family? Grandmother, what do you think?"
