In addition, not long ago, Cui sent her personal maid Xu to visit, but she was driven out of Mingxiu Garden with harsh words and humiliation.
Unexpectedly, her actions completely enraged Xiao Yuan.
No matter how many times she sent people to invite Xiao Yuan to Mingxiu Garden these days, he always made various excuses not to come.
Until Fang Ningzhu cautiously reminded her that day: "...No matter what Madam Cui's status or position is, she will always be the old lady of the Prince's Mansion..."
The wet nurse, Madam Liu, said, "Your Highness, although Madam Cui doesn't have any official title, she has been helping the Prince manage the Prince's residence since he established it. It's only proper that you take the initiative to pay your respects first..."
Fang Mingzhu's eyes swept fiercely over Fang Ningzhu and Liu Shi: "Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"

Several gardeners, trembling with fear, apologized to her and asked her to wait a quarter of an hour while they cleaned the flower paths.
Fang Mingzhu could have gone around to the side door, but she considered herself a princess and insisted on using the main entrance, so she waited there with a cold face.
Just then, she suddenly heard a low voice coming from behind the sedan chair.
"...That day, Madam Liu was scolded by the old lady, I heard it was because of that Su woman."
"Which Su family? Is it the Su family member who came to Hangzhou from Zhenjiang by boat with the prince?"
"It's her. I heard that Su Shi tried every means to seduce the prince along the way, and after arriving in Hangzhou, the prince even arranged for her to stay at Mingxiu Garden..."
