May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

Princess Anping glanced at Madam Wen and then casually said, "It's one thing to go back to your parents' home after a divorce, but to bring a child with you, leaving two burdens for your family at once, Madam Wen, tell me, have you ever seen such shamelessness?"

Madam Wen's expression had turned cold, and she had already subtly pulled her hand away from Princess Anping's: "Your Highness, although our General's Mansion is not particularly wealthy, we can still afford to feed a couple more mouths."

Princess Anping was taken aback by the unexpectedly firm attitude of Madam Wen towards her.

She is a dignified princess!

Madam Wen wouldn't even give her this much face?!

Several women who were acquainted with Princess Anping quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Your Highness, there are still distinguished guests behind us. Let's not waste our time on these unworthy people."

"Yes, Your Highness, the Empress Dowager will be here soon, we can't..." the woman lowered her voice, "we can't make things too ugly."

They all knew that Wen Yuanshu was now the Empress Dowager's person.

I dare not offend her to death.

Seeing this, Princess Anping could not say anything more. She flicked her wide sleeves and said coldly, "Indeed, they are all unworthy people anyway."

After saying that, Princess Anping turned and left.

The Wen family members exchanged glances and then stepped inside together.

Wen Qinglan seemed quite frightened by the scene just now, her face was pale: "Cousin, I think what the Princess said is right. You are divorced and have a child, which is also a burden to the General's Mansion."

"You really should think about what I'm saying. You should find a man soon and get married!"

"And that child, it's best not to register it in your name either, otherwise, with a child in your name, who would dare to take you in?"

"By the way, why haven't I seen that Commander Lu lately? Did he get tired of playing around with my cousin and dump her? Cousin, you see, that's just how men are, so you should hurry up and get married!"

Wen Yuanshu pressed her temples helplessly: "Qinglan, you should rest."

Wen Qinglan wasn't tired of talking, but she was exhausted just listening to her.

Wen Qinglan's lips moved slightly, and she finally said in a low voice, "Anyway, cousin, think it over carefully. What kind of woman is she if she doesn't have a child? If you delay any longer, you won't have time!"

Hearing her words, Wen Yuanshu didn't show it on her face, but secretly laughed to herself.

Women are only considered complete after experiencing the pain of childbirth, but what about men? Are they born complete?

This open space is specifically for people to rest, and it is filled with many exquisite tea snacks, all of which are from the palace and are not usually available.

However, none of the Wen family members were interested in these things. Wen Qinglan now had a target in mind, and she was indifferent to the man. The group then continued to enjoy the scenery.

Then a high-pitched voice, unique to eunuchs, rang out: "Her Majesty the Empress Dowager has arrived—"

Everyone stepped forward to pay their respects and welcome the Empress Dowager.

"I would like to join in the fun at today's banquet. Please do not be shy and enjoy yourselves."

"Yes."

The Empress Dowager stepped onto the high platform, and Wen Qinglan was secretly excited.

This is the Empress Dowager!

She's someone who's met the Empress Dowager!

Before she could calm down from her excitement, she saw her cousin walk toward the Empress Dowager.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Yuanshu curtsied, her voice neither too loud nor too soft, but loud enough for everyone nearby to hear clearly: "Your Highness the Eldest Princess has offended Your Majesty with her words. This humble woman begs Your Majesty's forgiveness on behalf of Your Highness, and hopes Your Majesty will forgive her."

"Hmm?" The Empress Dowager looked at her in confusion. "What's wrong?"

Wen Yuanshu stood up on her own and said, "His Highness just told me that a woman who has divorced should stay at home and not come out to see anyone or have any contact with other men, but—"

After her divorce, the Empress Dowager met the late Emperor during an outing. The two fell in love, and the Empress Dowager later remarried and entered the palace, where she was immediately promoted to the rank of Consort.

Princess Anping's words, though seemingly meant to slap her in the face, also touched a nerve with the Empress Dowager.
