“Madam, you can now speak a few words to the Third Princess as the mother of the enemy, and Wu Shi has no right to say anything,” Lingxiu said.
“Alright, go and remove the jewelry and headdress. After all, that child is my sister’s flesh and blood! As her aunt, I should give her some dowry!” the Fujin said.
Meanwhile, Ushiha had finished his dinner and, after tidying up, headed towards Namin's place.
At this moment, most of the women from the inner quarters of the Wu family had gathered in the west courtyard. Since Madam Yin passed away and Madam Geng moved out, Madam Wu had been living alone in the west courtyard. At this moment, the west courtyard was decorated with lanterns and red ornaments everywhere. Lanqin, Madam Song, Madam Fucha, as well as Madam Yun and Shuiling were all there.
The Princess Consort has arrived!
Wu invited everyone to her main room, which was the same main room where Yin had previously lived. At that moment, Bechuk, Irgen Gioro, and Ulanara Shuzhen were in her room talking with her.
"This humble servant greets the Fujin!" All the women in the room stood up and bowed to the Fujin upon her arrival.
"No need for formalities! Today is the Third Princess's wedding day, and I've come to say a few words to her!" the Fujin said. "These are two sets of headdresses to accompany Namin as part of her dowry!"
"Thank you for your concern, Madam! I will take you to see Namin." Madam Wu was cautious, but since the Madam was coming, she couldn't very well refuse. As the wife of a rival Madam, it was a courtesy for her to speak to the concubine's child and talk about the ways of being a wife.
“Since the Princess Consort wants to speak, then I will also go and say a few words to Namin!” Lanqin thought of how people were talking about Namin’s birth mother, and felt that the Princess Consort must have something to say about coming here now. Lanqin was not at ease if she only sent Wu Shi with her.
The princess frowned, but didn't say anything about not letting Lanqin go with them. She knew that at this moment, she had no reason to stop Lanqin from following.
When Lady Wu led the Fujin and Lanqin to Namin's room, Wuxiha had already entered the west courtyard.
The group arrived at Namin's room, where the Fujin spoke to her about the ways of being a wife. Most of the things were things that Lady Wu had said. As everyone listened, Lanqin, seeing that the Fujin hadn't caused any trouble, gradually relaxed.
"Ushiha, Mother heard from Namin that you encountered something when you went out?" Lanqin asked, pulling Ushiha along.
"It's nothing, just a few flies!" Ushiha was unwilling to talk about being beaten up, and glanced at Bechuk a few times.
"Well, then Mother can rest assured!" Seeing that Wuxiha seemed alright, Lanqin said no more.
Seeing that she had no chance to speak with Namin, the princess consort could only say, "You should remember those words carefully. I'm going back now!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Mother!" Namin bowed and said.
Seeing that the Fujin was about to leave, Lanqin was relieved that she hadn't been allowed to speak with Namin alone. She instructed Ushiha and Bechuk to accompany Namin, and then followed the Fujin out.
"Phew, finally finished! I'm so tired of hearing this!" Ushiha said.
"Hmph, when you're about to get married, your mother will tell you too!" Namin said, covering her mouth.
“I don’t want her to say those things!” Ushiha said.
“Even if you don’t listen, she will still come!” Bechuk said.
“Yes, she is our enemy’s mother. If she wants to come, we can’t stop her!” Namin said.
“My future husband will not allow him to have three wives and four concubines. The children born to him will all be enemy sons and daughters, and there will be no distinction between enemy and concubine!” Ushiha said.
