"Princess, Master Shen has replied!"

After getting up early and before having breakfast, Zhu Qing'an saw Fu Guang walking into the house with a letter. He was not even wearing shoes or socks. Zhu Qing'an hurriedly took it barefoot.

This was the first time the two of them had communicated. Zhu Qing'an couldn't wait to open the letter, but his expression slowly changed from surprise to calmness, and even a little lonely.

Zhu Qing'an looked at Shen Shixin's handsome handwriting on the letter, but he didn't care about any of the words he said to her.

Mingming, the letters she sent to Shen Shixin were all caring greetings, and also explained to him about his cousin Fang Qing.

Zhu Qing'an was afraid that Shen's mother would interfere, so she wanted to tell Shen Shixin everything in person in the form of a letter. She told Shen Shixin the whole story without any bias.

But the reply letter was full of condemnation from Shen Shixin. Even though the words were full of respect, it could not hide the fact that Shen Shixin was blaming Zhu Qing'an.

The letter said: The princess is one year older than my cousin, and will be my cousin's sister-in-law in the future. Why should I blame my cousin for such a trivial matter?

The princess herself is a woman. She slapped other girls in the face again and again. Has she ever considered her life or death?

Although my cousin is a little naughty, she is not the kind of person who would do evil. We are all family from now on, so the princess should apologize to her cousin to avoid damaging the relationship.

Now that I'm not home, my mother is already worried and exhausted. Why can't the princess be understanding? If my mother falls ill because of my cousin's matter, how can I concentrate on my work?

The remaining words and sentences were Shen Shixin's self-righteous teachings repeated over and over again.

Zhu Qing'an only felt his heart sinking.

"Princess?" Fu Guang asked with some concern. Although she didn't know what was written in the letter, just by looking at the princess's expression, she knew that Mr. Shen must have said something to make the princess unhappy.

After closing the letter, Zhu Qing'an lost his appetite for breakfast. He waved his hand and said, "Go prepare some gifts and send them to the Shen residence later. Please check on Miss Fang for me!"

When these words were spoken, Fu Guang's eyes were filled with confusion, but more of heartache.

You have to know that the princess has been a precious person since she was a child. Fang Qing dared to offend the princess, and a few slaps were considered light punishment. Now he even wants the princess to bow her head. It is simply ridiculous. The princess has never been so patient. Let alone hitting an insignificant girl, even if he hit the princess, what would happen?

"Princess..."

Fu Guang, who always obeyed orders, stood there with heartache and confusion in her eyes. She really wanted to ask the princess if it was worth it for a young master Shen.

"Go!" Zhu Qing'an waved his hand and turned around helplessly. It was a compromise and also sad.

She knew she shouldn't be like this, but that person was Shen Shixin, and she couldn't help but think about him. She didn't want Shen Shixin to be thinking about the troubles at home when he was away on business, and those things were all related to her.

Giving a gift represents your attitude, but an apology is out of the question.

She can compromise for Shen Shixin, but she will not really abandon herself for Shen Shixin.

When Fu Guang brought the gifts to the Shen residence, he happened to run into Fang Qing, who was still recovering from her injuries. Fang Qing was accompanying Madam Shen in arranging flowers, and when she saw the gifts Fu Guang had brought, they both remained silent, deliberately giving Fu Guang the cold shoulder.

Fu Guang stood there for a long while before Shen's mother spoke, "What's the matter? Does the princess also know that her words and actions are inappropriate?"

Fu Guang looked at Mother Shen's smug look, and thought of the princess's distress, and felt very uncomfortable. She was usually not talkative, but she also said deliberately, "Madam Shen, why don't you say this to the Empress Dowager!"

These words made Shen's mother's face darken. She remembered the oppression of the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace that day, and also remembered the Princess Mansion bestowed by the Empress Dowager. It was still a worry for her.

"You are so bold!" It was Fang Qing who spoke. When she looked at Fu Guang, she remembered the day when Fu Guang twisted her arm and slapped her.

"You are just a maid, yet you dare to point fingers at the Shangshu's wife? Who gave you the courage?" Fang Qing scolded Fu Guang, but in her heart she wanted desperately to get back the humiliation she suffered that day. She couldn't touch Zhu Qing'an, but she couldn't touch a maid either.

"I am the princess's person, so naturally the courage comes from the princess!" Fu Guang straightened up slightly and looked at Shen's mother who was sitting there watching the show. He just felt that how could this person be the princess's mother-in-law, she was too confused.

"Is this how the princess teaches the people around her?" Mother Shen was a little dissatisfied. A maidservant was trying to climb over her head. If she really married her son in the future, wouldn't everyone be able to bully her?

"I have been trained by the Palace Master Guan since I was young, and under the tutelage of the Empress Dowager. Only then was I appointed to serve the Princess! The Princess, mindful of Master Shen's reputation, specifically asked me to bring you some small gifts for a girl. If Madam Shen truly disliked the Princess, why didn't she mention it to the Empress Dowager that day?" Fu Guang said slowly, "Although I have little influence, I can still report today's events to the Empress Dowager!"

Although Fu Guang's mouth is not as sharp as Wangshu's, he is not a pushover either.

"You!" Fang Qing pointed at Fu Guang, his face flushed with anger, but the cheek that had been hit before was now intact, which showed that the Shen family had also hired the best doctor for her.

"That's enough!" Shen's mother sighed. She knew very well that as long as the Queen Mother was around, the Shen family would bow their heads. "We accept the gifts. Thank you, Princess, for your kindness!"

Fu Guang then smiled slightly, bowed slightly and took his leave.

"Aunt, look at her. She doesn't look like a maid at all. Just because she's a princess, can she be so arrogant?" Fang Qing stomped her feet in anger.

Mother Shen hugged Fang Qing in her arms, revealing a meaningful smile.

"So what if she's a princess? She's just a girl, and she'll eventually marry my son! Once a woman gets married, she'll be at the mercy of her husband and her in-laws. Even if she's a princess, does the empress dowager really want to interfere in the family affairs of her subjects?" Mother Shen snorted coldly.

"Aunt?" Fang Qing was a little confused.

"Your cousin's reply letter arrived this morning. Although he defended the princess in the letter, he was also dissatisfied with what the princess did and asked the princess to apologize! Look at what your cousin said. Even the princess couldn't bow her head!" Mother Shen's eyes were full of pride.

"Aunt is still the most powerful one. So what if she is a princess? She will only be my cousin's woman from now on. She has to listen to my cousin and you, aunt!" Fang Qing cheered from the side.

Mother Shen loved to hear these words.

"Of course, my son will naturally side with me!" Mother Shen said, and after washing her hands, she continued to write the letter.

She couldn't bear to watch her son side with an outsider. She wanted her son to see the princess's true face.

On the desk, Shen Shixin's reply was still lying to the side. It read: Mother, please be at ease. I will speak to the princess and will never let you suffer any more injustice...
