Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

Upon hearing this, Madam Qi couldn't help but laugh, but she quickly stopped laughing.

Because Su Qianrou then said, "The Princess once wrote a detailed list of her estate distribution before her death. You should divide it according to that. If you haven't moved out of the Princess's residence in three days, I will bring people to move everything out of the Princess's residence. Don't try to play any tricks. If I find out that you are disobeying me, I will make you regret it. You should know that I have this ability."

No matter how unwilling the eldest and second wives of the Qi family were, they had no choice but to obey now, otherwise they would get nothing.

"Thank you all for coming today," Su Qianrou said to the Qi family elders.

"Your Highness is too kind."

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. You may do as you see fit."

"Princess, please take care."

"Lord Wang, would you like to come along?"

"Please, Your Highness."

Then, Su Qianrou and Wang Zhiwen went outside.

The two walked at a leisurely pace.

Su Qianrou said, "Thank you for your help today, Lord Wang."

"Your Highness is too kind. It was just a small favor. Besides, if anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me thanking Your Highness."

"Why do you say such a thing, Lord Wang?"

“My daughter has always been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and very obedient. But this time she insisted on getting a divorce, even though I wanted to sever ties with her. I couldn’t understand it. Later, my son took me to Shengming Academy and saw her teaching students on the stage. She was so confident and happy. Only then did I realize that I was wrong. She was not happy in the He family. In fact, she was in great pain. But I had not realized it. I was an incompetent father.”

"Lord Wang is an enlightened and reasonable person."

“Your Highness’s words make me feel ashamed. If I were truly reasonable, I would not have pressured her in the first place, much less threatened her with severing ties.”

"But at least now Lord Wang can understand, right?"

"The princess is right."

Then, neither of them spoke, and they walked forward in silence.

Regent's House

Su Qianrou was feeding the fish by the pond when she asked, bored, "Chunzhu, has anything interesting happened lately?"

"Your Highness, believe it or not, there really is one."

Su Qianrou immediately became interested and patted the seat next to her, "Sit down and let's talk."

Chunzhu sat down and then excitedly said, "Wasn't the day before yesterday Miss Liu and Young Master He's wedding day? I heard that Young Master He did not spend the night in Miss Liu's room, but instead favored a maid. When Miss Liu found out, she was so angry that she had a miscarriage and even called for a doctor."

"If a man can be stolen away by her, it proves that his will is not firm. I don't know what she has to be proud of. She even went to Sister Wang to show off. Doesn't she realize that if she can steal someone away, others can too? She'll have a hard time in the future."

"That's not all. The He family announced that the princess would also attend the wedding banquet, so many people went, but they waited and waited and the princess never showed up. Now, everyone is talking about whether the He family has offended the princess."

“What I hate most in this life is a scumbag. He betrays his promises for profit, abandons his wife and children, and there are also mistresses who interfere in other people’s marriages. They are unrepentant and even proud of themselves. Such people should be taught a lesson.” He paused for a moment and then said, “I remember that a couple of days ago, the Ningbei Marquis’s mansion sent an invitation, saying that Old Madam Xiao was going to celebrate her sixtieth birthday.”

"Yes, tomorrow."

"Go and find out if the He family has received an invitation."

"Yes, there should be. I heard that officials of the fifth rank and above, along with their families, were invited."

"That's good, it's time to make our stance clear."

Ningbei Marquis's Mansion

The following day, Su Qianrou brought Chunzhu to the Ningbei Marquis's residence.

At this time, the ladies sat chatting in the garden, while the young ladies gathered in small groups to talk and laugh or admire the flowers, making it a very lively place.

A short while later, Su Qianrou came over.

When Chang Le saw her, she exclaimed with delight, "Qian Rou!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over, then stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Regent's Consort."

Su Qianrou walked up to Madam Xiao and said, "Congratulations on Madam Xiao's long life and good fortune."

"Thank you, Your Highness. Please take a seat."

"Please, Madam."

Su Qianrou is now the woman with the highest status in the capital city besides the Empress Dowager, so she naturally sits in the seat of honor.

As the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, an elder, and the birthday celebrant of the day, Madam Xiao naturally sat in the seat of honor, thus sharing the seat with Su Qianrou.

After sitting down, Su Qianrou said, "Everyone, please sit down too. There's no need for formalities."

"It has been a long time since I last saw Your Highness. How have you been lately?"

"I am fine. How is the old lady? Is she in good health?"

"As you get older, it's inevitable to have some minor ailments, but they're nothing serious."

"You still need to be careful and not let your guard down. When we get back, I'll have someone send you some tonics. Please don't be reluctant to eat them."

"No need, the princess sent so much, I haven't even finished eating it all."

“Chang Le is Chang Le, and I am me. The old lady cannot refuse.”

“Grandmother, we can never have too many good things. Since it was Qianrou who gave it to you, please accept it. There’s no need to be polite with her,” Chang Le said.

"I think you've been wanting this for a long time, why don't I send you some too?"

"If you give it to me, I definitely won't refuse. I'll accept anything."

Su Qianrou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have your brother personally deliver it to you then."

"No need for that, how could I trouble my royal brother? I can get it myself."

Su Qianrou smiled but didn't say anything.

"The Princess Consort and Princess Chang Le have such a good relationship."

"Yes, it's really enviable."

Others complimented him.

“Third cousin has always been like this, always very kind to those close to her,” Liu Xiang said. She and Madam He were sitting a little further apart, so she deliberately raised her voice, afraid that Su Qianrou wouldn’t hear her.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at her, but none of them lingered for long, and many of them showed disdain, clearly looking down on her.

Seeing their reaction, Liu Xiang was very angry. She thought to herself, "One day, I will make you unable to reach me." So she stood up and called out, "Third cousin."

"Mrs. He, please call me Princess Consort. We are not familiar with each other."

Liu Xiang was stunned, looking at her in disbelief, and then asked, "What do you mean by this, Third Cousin?"

"Didn't you hear Qianrou tell you to call her Princess? Are you deaf?"

“But that’s what I’ve always called it.”

"Madam He, is this the rule of your He family?"

Madam He hurriedly got up and apologized, saying, "Princess, please calm down. She has just married into our He family, and I haven't had time to discipline her yet. Therefore, she is ignorant of the rules and has talked back to you. Please forgive me."

Chang Le remained silent. If it weren't for the fact that Liu Xiang was Su Qianrou's cousin, she would have shown no mercy.

The others couldn't help but look at Su Qianrou, wanting to know her attitude.

"Young Master He knows perfectly well what she has done. I, the Princess Consort, am not so easily manipulated."

A flicker of fear crossed Liu Xiang's mind, but it vanished in an instant. People die for money, birds die for food; she didn't think she had done anything wrong.

At this moment, Madam Xiao stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Your Highness, Mother, it's getting late, let's go have our meal."

"Yes, it's time for your meal, Your Highness."

Su Qian withdrew her gaze and said, "Please, Madam."

Then, Madam Xiao got up and left.

Chang Le walked to Su Qianrou's side and said, "Together."

"it is good".

Then the two left together.

Others followed suit.

Madam He looked at Liu Xiang and said angrily, "You shameful thing!" Then, ignoring her, she turned and left.

Liu Xiang was furious, but dared not do anything rash, so she could only follow along in frustration.
