He had told his wife to visit his mother more often. Although his wife was a bit spoiled, she wouldn't make any mistakes in important matters, so he was quite at ease with her.

Therefore, the Eighth Prince's wife was not as concerned as he thought, and the news of Consort Liang's serious illness did not spread.
