Seeing Su Qingyu's curiosity, Su Shunci explained in detail what happened that day, which made Su Qingyu and Su Zhilan laugh.
Hearing that Su Shunci came to the Song family, several people started talking about Song Wanwan's marriage.
During the chat, Su Shunci mentioned today's palace banquet again.
When Su Qingyu heard that Concubine Chen deliberately framed the wife of Marquis Zhongyi, she became suspicious.
Just like Su Shunci thought, she was also wondering about the purpose of Concubine Chen's actions.
She had dealt with the Concubine Chen before and knew she was a smart person. She would not use such a crude trick just to embarrass the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty.
What does she want to do? Or rather, what do the virtuous concubine and the crown prince want to do?

Although he was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, the Cabinet was in charge of all state affairs, so he also had to worry about other matters.
"I'll change my clothes and then we'll go have dinner." Shen Zhixiu said softly.
But just as she was about to go to the bathroom, a maid came in and reported that Wenzhu wanted to see her about something important.
Shen Zhixiu hurried out, and after a while he came back in and said, "Something happened to a commander of the Five Cities Military Department. This man is a close confidant of the Marquis of Loyalty."
"It's a big deal, I have to go check it out."
"If this matter isn't handled properly, Song Zan will also be in trouble."
