As evening approached, the private room finally fell completely silent. Just moments before, the stairwell had become lively again, and Qingyan and her sisters-in-law were finally relieved.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, those two have finally left. Why are they here?" Ninth Princess Consort asked Qingyan.
"I don't know either, but it seems there's something they need to discuss, so they came here instead of staying at the palace. The managers have had their people follow them the whole time, and they haven't left for a moment!" Qingyan took a sip of tea. "Later, the gentlemen will all be coming over. There's a very nice banquet going on here."
"Really?!" Ninth Princess's eyes sparkled; it looked wonderful.
"Little darling, what will happen to the children if we get back late?" Yingen Jueluo was worried about her son and daughter in the mansion.
“Sister-in-law, Mother said we should have fun today, and we’ll send the children back to their courtyard tomorrow. In a few days, we’ll be heading back to the capital, and we definitely won’t be able to relax like this anymore!” Qingyan said directly.
Yin Genjue Luo sighed helplessly: "Since having children, we haven't had a happy stroll in a long time. Even Grandpa wonders every time he goes out, if the children are causing any trouble!"
Qingyan laughed heartily: "Sister-in-law, Consort Hui said that if you send your children to the palace for five days each month, she wouldn't mind helping you take care of them!"
"I thought it would be too much trouble for Mother, so I didn't agree to Yin's idea. Those people in the palace are very easy to take action against. The two children have finally grown up, and Duoxi Hui is even younger. When Duoxi Hui is old enough to attend the Imperial Academy, Lady Yin Genjue Luo will definitely let him live in Consort Hui's palace!" Lady Yin Genjue Luo also agreed with Yin's idea. When the children grow up, they will definitely need to rest in the palace while studying there.
"My two sisters-in-law, you both have your own worries. If we could, we would rather have such troubles," Fifth Princess said with great envy.
A smile appeared on Qingyan's face. The Fifth Princess Consort always said that she envied them even more.
"Fifth sister-in-law, did Imperial Physician Liu examine your pulse?" Yin Genjue Luo asked directly.
"They took my pulse and said I need to recuperate for another year!" Fifth Princess Consort said directly.
"The best news is that they say she can recover. It wouldn't be good if they did a diagnosis and then said she can't give birth anymore!" Ninth Princess Consort advised.
"Ninth Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Qingyan asked, curious as he looked at Ninth Princess's indignant expression.
“Didn’t we have Imperial Physician Liu examine our pulses before? After the Eighth Prince’s wife found out, she said that if he couldn’t give birth to a legitimate heir, he would have to abdicate and give way to a worthy successor!” The Ninth Prince’s wife was very annoyed with her.
The Jue Luo family has several girls of marriageable age, and this one has definitely caused them a lot of trouble. They even said they would introduce her to someone easy to handle.
"Alright, don't be angry. Apart from my mother, the rest of the Jue Luo clan are basically all about profit. Their noble ladies have believed since childhood that they should sacrifice everything for their maternal family!" Qingyan said sarcastically.
The wives found it very strange that the Jue Luo clan would discipline their noble ladies in such a way.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, is this true?" Ninth Princess Consort asked in surprise.
"To be honest, when I talk about the Jue Luo clan, I'm also talking about my mother. You all know how bad the relationship between my mother and me was back then!" Qingyan said helplessly. "Later, my mother was hurt by the Jue Luo clan and only after she completely lost hope did she suddenly realize what was going on."
Fifth Princess covered her mouth: "Fourth Sister-in-law, you've really worked hard. Before, we thought you were too harsh on Jue Luo Shi, that you didn't help her with anything."
"People from the Jue Luo clan would often come knocking on our door. The Yue Lai Inn and Linglong Pavilion would be exploited by the Jue Luo clan. They would never pay for the jewelry ordered from Linglong Pavilion. They believed that these were all Mother's properties, and that paying them would be exploiting Mother's family." Qingyan remembered that period was really hard to endure, and she always felt that she had to be on guard at all times.
The sisters-in-law all stared wide-eyed at Qingyan's actions.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, you've really gone through a lot!" Ninth Princess said. "If I were in a similar situation, I certainly wouldn't be as strong as you."
"Is the Eighth Prince's wife the same?" The Fifth Prince's wife was even more curious.
When the sisters-in-law gathered, the Eighth Prince's wife behaved very appropriately, not at all as excessive as Lady Ulanara. If she behaved like this in private, wouldn't the Eighth Prince be aware of it?
"That's right, when the master went to the Eighth Prince's residence that time, the Eighth Prince's wife said quite a bit that some of the Jue Luo clan members were very talented, which made the master laugh coldly!" The Ninth Prince's wife directly exposed his shortcomings.
Qingyan was mentally prepared, but she never expected that the Eighth Prince's wife would go even further than her mother.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, no way, how could it be so outrageous!" Fifth Princess Consort exclaimed in astonishment.
“I also think it’s outrageous, Ninth Sister-in-law, are you serious?!” Qingyan asked directly.
"Of course, I heard it with my own ears. On the way back, the master said that those people were all incompetent, and they even tried to trip us up behind our backs. They were all ingrates!" Ninth Princess's words were harsh, but they were very realistic.
"We're all under control, so the master said that if we really have any dealings with the Eighth Prince's wife, we must be very careful and make sure we don't get dragged into something bad." Yinqi specifically instructed the Fifth Prince's wife that she absolutely could not give anyone any leverage.
Qingyan held her teacup as the others continued to chatter. If possible, she hoped she wouldn't hear about it. At this moment, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"Little darling, don't think this is referring to Lady Ulanara. We all know that she has already left that mansion!" Lady Yingejueluo comforted Qingyan.
Qingyan's face showed helplessness; there was no point in saying anything about it.
“Yes, Fourth Sister-in-law!” Fifth and Ninth Princess Consorts chimed in.
"The Eighth Prince's wife is very assertive. She puts on a good show in front of the Eighth Prince. It hasn't been long yet. In a few more years, the Eighth Prince will definitely start taking people in!" The Ninth Prince's wife felt that it must be the Eighth Prince's problem.
Guoluo had only been married for a year when she gave birth to a healthy son and was living very well in Mongolia.
“Guoluo Luoshi is doing very well. We all feel that Guoluo Luoshi is completely free now that she has divorced!” Ninth Princess Consort said directly.
Qingyan exchanged glances with the others. Some things are better left unsaid; if they are, things will only become less pleasant.
"Let them keep causing trouble, I don't have time to deal with these people's news!" Qingyan said directly.
