After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

"Withdraw the people."

Leng Feng, who was about to continue speaking, was stunned when he heard Zhan Sijing's words.

"Your Highness, although today's events were a misunderstanding, the Princess Consort's behavior is indeed strange, and there are some things we must be wary of."

Zhan Sijing's eyes dimmed slightly, his gaze turning icy cold. "Leng Feng, was I not clear enough? Do I need to repeat myself?"

Leng Feng trembled and quickly bowed to apologize, "This subordinate has overstepped his bounds, please punish me, Master."

"Go down and accept your punishment. Also, I hope everyone in the manor understands that her current status is my queen."

"I don't want to see such outrageous things again."

"Yes." Leng Feng replied respectfully, inwardly marveling at how his master, who usually didn't concern himself with other matters, was now establishing authority for the newly arrived princess.

Because of the steward incident, the servants in the mansion also changed their attitude towards Ye Qingwu.

Time flew by and the day of her return to her parents' home arrived. In the book, she married a scholar named Jiang Wenjin, and because of her lowly status, she suffered ridicule from her half-sister and Madam Su.

Now, thanks to Ye Qingzhu's rebirth, many things are different, but her essential identity remains unchanged.

She wanted to see what else Su would say this time!

Seeing that Ye Qingwu intended to return to the manor alone, the steward, who had previously held prejudices against her, became more puzzled and subconsciously asked, "Your Highness, are you planning to go back like this?"

Ye Qingwu glanced at him and asked calmly, "Is there a problem?"

"There's no problem, but usually the couple goes back together on the day of the bride's return to her parents' home. Your Highness, are you really not going to tell the Prince about this?"

"His condition is not suitable for travel, and besides, it's just a homecoming visit, which is really not a big deal."

"Your Highness should focus on resting and recuperating for now."

Ye Qingwu then ignored the steward and boarded the carriage alone. Now that her good half-sister had been reborn, she must know everything that had happened in the past seven days.

If we don't let her feel smug first, how will she know what it's like to fall from the clouds to the mud?

When the steward came to his senses, he saw that Ye Qingwu's carriage had already left, and his feelings were particularly complicated.

He had observed the prince over the past few days and found that the prince was indeed unharmed, which proved that what happened that day was indeed a misunderstanding.

It is truly remarkable that this newlywed princess would say such things on her return visit to her parents' home, and that she is so considerate of the prince's health.

"Where has the Princess Consort gone?"

Zhan Sijing, who was coming from this direction, happened to see Ye Qingwu talking to the steward and then getting into the carriage alone, and asked her about it.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the steward was even more surprised. Just a few days ago, he had seen the prince so ill that he could not get out of bed. How come he was standing in front of him perfectly fine now, and even his complexion seemed to have improved considerably?

Seeing the steward standing there without saying a word, Zhan Sijing's eyes showed displeasure. "Steward, did you perhaps say something to the Princess again?"

The butler, realizing what was happening, quickly replied, "No...no."

"Your Highness, just now the Princess Consort said that she wanted to return to her parents' home alone. I wanted to dissuade her, but the Princess Consort was determined. She also said that Your Highness is in poor health and is not suitable for traveling."

"Did she really say that?" Zhan Sijing hesitated slightly, a ripple of emotion stirring within him.

"Yes."

"Prepare the carriage. The princess will surely be looked down upon if she returns home alone."

Zhan Sijing looked towards the direction outside the mansion, his gaze softening slightly. "She cares so much for me, I must not let her be neglected by others."

"I'll get ready right away."
