Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

Seeing this, Chunzhu quickly shielded Su Qianrou behind her and said, "Please watch your words, Madam. Our young lady is the future Regent's Consort, and she is not someone you can beat or scold at will."

“Even if she is the empress, she is still my granddaughter. I can hit her or scold her as I please.”

Su Qianrou emerged from behind Chunzhu and said, "Grandmother had better watch her words, or she won't even know how she died."

"You're threatening me."

"This is just a friendly reminder."

The old lady was furious, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she could only glare at her with wide eyes.

Su Qianrou didn't care and said insincerely, "Chunzhu, when you go back, have Qiulan check if there is any medicine that can paralyze someone in bed, making them unable to speak and only able to lie in bed all day. If not, have her develop one. I need it."

"Yes, miss."

"You dare."

"Why wouldn't I dare? As long as I do everything perfectly, who would know? Besides, with my status as the Regent's Consort, Grandmother thinks, who would dare to touch me?"

"you……".

“I advise you, Grandmother, not to think about things you shouldn’t, otherwise you’ll only add to your troubles. Don’t worry too much and get sick… Alright, my mother and I have something to do, so we’ll head back now. Grandmother, please take good care of yourself.” After saying that, she looked at Lin Rong and said, “Mother, let’s go.”

"it is good".

Then, Su Qianrou helped Lin Rong leave, but after taking two steps, she stopped, turned around and said, "By the way, Grandmother, my wedding is approaching, and my mother is busy with the wedding preparations. Therefore, she will not be able to visit you for the next two months. Please forgive her." After saying this, she helped Lin Rong out without waiting for the old lady's reply.

"You rebellious daughter!" the old lady cursed angrily.

After leaving the Rainforest Garden, Su Qianrou and Lin Rong planned to return to their residence. At this moment, the two were walking towards the gate.

Lin Rong asked, "Why did you suddenly return to the Marquis's residence? Didn't you dislike coming back?"

“I originally wanted to have dinner with you, but when I heard that Grandmother was sick, I felt something was wrong. Grandmother is stronger than me, how could she get sick so easily? So I came back to see her, and sure enough, I knew she was faking it. You too, you know she's faking it, yet you still indulge her. You know what kind of person she is, a typical bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. The nicer you are to her, the more she takes advantage of you. You should use ruthless methods to deal with someone like her, that's how she'll behave.”

“Your grandmother is not a reasonable person. After what you did today, she will probably talk about you behind your back. Now that your wedding is approaching, if any bad things are said, it will definitely affect your reputation.”

"Mother, don't worry. I've already bribed all the servants in Rainforest Garden, so even if she makes rumors about me, it will only stay in Rainforest Garden and won't get out."

Lin Rong looked at her in surprise, "When did you bribe her?"

"Before the Lunar New Year".

"So early."

"Just like you said, Grandmother is a bit of a scatterbrain. Who knows when she might say something outrageous that could implicate Father and my eldest brother? So I bribed everyone in her courtyard to keep her under my watchful eye and prevent her from causing trouble."

"That's very good."

As they were talking, the two arrived at the door and were about to go out when a voice called out from behind them: "Second Madam, Third Miss, please wait."

So the two turned their heads and saw the maids from the old lady's courtyard rushing toward them.

"This servant greets Second Madam, Third Miss... Second Madam, Third Miss, the Old Madam requests your presence."

Su Qianrou and Lin Rong exchanged a glance, and then the two went to Fuxi Courtyard.

"The daughter-in-law has met her mother."

"The granddaughter has met her grandmother."

"I thought you'd forgotten the way back to the Marquis's residence, but it turns out you still remember it," these words were clearly directed at Su Qianrou.

"I have not been back for a long time, please forgive me, Grandmother."

"Now that you are the Regent's wife, how dare I punish you? I cannot bear the crime of insubordination."

"Grandmother is joking."

"Speaking of which, we haven't paid our respects to the Princess yet," Lin Xiaoran said, but she showed no intention of getting up.

“We’re all family, so I’m sure the Princess won’t blame you, right, Qianrou?” Liu Meng smiled at Su Qianrou.

"Of course, there's no need for excessive formalities among family members."

"As expected, Qian Rou is still the most magnanimous."

"Mother, Second Sister-in-law and Qianrou are still standing there," Lin Xiaoran said, feigning concern.

"Sit down and let's talk."

Then, Su Qianrou and Lin Rong sat down to the side.

The old lady continued, "Although you have already established your own residences, you are still family no matter what. Now, Qianrou's wedding is approaching, and the person she is marrying is the Regent. The wedding must be very complicated. Let the eldest son's wife and the third son's wife help you, so that you can have an easier time. What do you think?"

“This…” Lin Rong looked troubled.

"What, you don't want to?"

“We meant well, why doesn’t my sister-in-law appreciate it?”

"That's right, if it weren't for the fact that we're from the same clan, we wouldn't be willing."

That's not what I meant.

"Thank you for your kindness, Aunt and Third Aunt, but my marriage is being handled by the Ministry of Rites, so I don't need your help."

“Then you have to prepare your own dowry,” Liu Meng said.

"Yes, Qianrou is marrying the Regent, so her dowry can't be too meager; it needs to be prepared properly."

"Sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, please rest assured, Qianrou is my daughter, and I will certainly not mistreat her. Her dowry has already been prepared, and it will only be more, not less."

"What you're saying, sister-in-law, makes me quite curious. I wonder what kind of dowry you've prepared for Qianrou."

"Yes, Second Sister-in-law, tell me about it."

"They're just some gold and silver jewelry, nothing important," Lin Rong said casually.

Lin Xiaoran and Liu Meng knew she wasn't telling the truth, but they didn't press her for details, so they didn't say anything more.

The old lady said, "Once you become the Regent's wife, you should behave yourself and stop showing your face in public all the time. What kind of behavior is that? The Regent won't tolerate you. You might get sent home in a couple of days."

Now that her own daughter is not even married yet, she is already hoping that she will be divorced. Even with her good temper, Lin Rong could not bear it at this moment, so she wanted to say something.

Before she could speak, Su Qianrou said, "Grandmother, you can rest assured. The Regent said that I can do whatever I want, and he will cover for me even if the sky falls. Therefore, there is no need to worry."

"The Regent is really good to you," Liu Meng said sourly.

"It's actually pretty good."

"Since the prince treats you so well, you should cherish this opportunity and not end up losing more than you gain."

"Thank you for reminding me, Aunt. I will."

Seeing that her goal could not be achieved, the old lady did not linger and said, "Alright, it's getting late, you should go back now."

"The daughter-in-law takes her leave."

"Granddaughter takes her leave."

Then, the two of them went outside.

Lin Xiaoran watched them leave and said, "In the past, my second sister-in-law was always looked down upon because of her status as the daughter of a merchant. Now, who would dare to look down on her?"

"Who can blame them for having such a good daughter?" Liu Meng said sourly.
