The Fujin had no idea that the Fourth Prince was resting in the East Courtyard, which was somewhat expected. She really couldn't understand why the Fourth Prince seemed not to have noticed any new women entering the household in the past two years.
Even with a celestial beauty like Lady Niohuru right there, a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Lady Li of the East Courtyard, the Fourth Prince didn't even give her a second glance.
She was genuinely puzzled, but she didn't have time to think about it.
Around noon, Su Peisheng, who was by the Fourth Prince's side, came by and said that the monthly allowances of some of the women in the back courtyard had been withheld. Although he did not explicitly say who did it, it was enough to embarrass the Fujin (Prince's wife) at that time.
The Fujin (principal wife) will naturally send people to investigate. She has many spies in the mansion, so she certainly knows who went to the Fourth Prince to report it.
Sure enough, it was Lu Shi, who had recently entered the household.
The Fujin was extremely annoyed. This wasn't the first time Lu Shi had made a fuss over the monthly allowance. This time, she had gone straight to the Fourth Prince, which was a blatant disgrace to the Fujin.
On the surface, the Fujin (principal wife) couldn't do anything to Lady Lu, but she could use underhanded tricks in secret.
That very evening, she instructed the kitchen staff to be "polite" to Madam Lu, but the next morning she heard Yu Ru talking about it.
This morning, the Fourth Prince came out of the East Courtyard to leave the mansion on business, but was bumped into by Madam Lu in front of him. Madam Lu showed the Fourth Prince the meals that had been delivered by the kitchen last night and this morning.
May Day is not spoiled, nor should it be included in the Lu family's category.
The Princess Consort was so angry she almost fainted. That Lady Lu!
She actually dared to go to Fourth Master to complain again.
The original idea was to place Lu Shi in the front courtyard of that wretched Li Shi, hoping to divert some of Li Shi's favor from her.
Now it seems that this has actually made things easier for Madam Lu. Yesterday at noon, when the Fourth Master went to the East Courtyard, she complained about him. This morning, when the Fourth Master came out of the East Courtyard, Madam Lu seized the opportunity to complain about him again.
Just last night, the Fujin (principal wife) instructed the kitchen to be "more polite" to Lady Lu.
Only one night has passed, and Lu Shi dares to cause trouble so quickly.
Having spent many years in the inner chambers of the palace and now serving as the primary wife in the Fourth Prince's harem for several years, this was the first time the Fujin had ever seen such a willful and unruly woman.
Is she really not afraid at all that the kitchen will treat her even worse in the future?
The princess took a deep breath and said after a long while, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly."
It's obvious without even asking that this was another message sent by the Fourth Prince.
After this happened twice in one or two days, the Fujin (principal wife) was truly losing face.
