"Although I have returned to my own home, I have been thinking about how you elders are doing every day. I thought that now that Yunqi has become the prince consort, he would surely find another place for my grandmother, but I did not expect that when I passed by today, I found that you were still living here!?"

Jiang Yuyue's words were full of heartache, but they caused Madam Shoes's expression to change slightly. She couldn't bear to hear even the slightest slander against her son!

"That's not quite right."

Now that Jiang Yuyue is no longer their daughter-in-law, the First Madam is no longer as polite as before. "Yunqi is now the Imperial Son-in-Law, so naturally he won't be stingy with money. However, we will be returning to the capital in the future. If we buy property again for just a few days, wouldn't that be a waste of money?"

"But I heard that Yun Qi booked the entire Tongfu Inn, didn't he?"

Jiang Yuyue feigned ignorance, "Tongfu Inn is one of the top inns in Jinling City. Could it be that it can't accommodate so many elders?"

These words made the First Madam's face turn green. Before she could speak, Jiang Yuyue had already come up with a reason for her, "That's true. Now that Princess Huajin and Prince Ning are living there, it's not really appropriate for Mother and the others to live there. But we can't let the elders and younger siblings all live in such a place!"

Jiang Yuyue took the First Madam's hand, "If Mother doesn't mind, why don't you come and stay at our Jiang family's residence? Although it's not a very nice place, it should still be much better than here!"

The First Madam was quite uncomfortable hearing Jiang Yuyue call her "Mother" repeatedly, but she was intrigued by the suggestion.

After all, no one wants to stay in such a awful place and live a miserable life. The Jiang family is one of the wealthiest families in Jiangnan, and their mansion must be much more luxurious than the original Xie mansion. If they could really live there...

Seeing the hesitation on the First Madam's face, Jiang Yuyue continued to pave the way for them, "Mother, please don't be embarrassed. After all, we've known each other for a while and are destined to become family. It's only right that we help each other!"

"If... if Mother doesn't want to take advantage of me, how about she considers me her goddaughter? That way, I'll be a legitimate junior, and it'll be only right for me to be filial to my elders."

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!"

Hearing the commotion, Madam Xie from the next courtyard quickly came over. "I knew our Yue'er was a filial and good child. She would never forget us. Look, she's thinking of us!"

Xie Yuan followed behind with an extremely unfriendly expression. Although Jiang Yuyue's actions seemed to be well-intentioned, she was extremely jealous of the most fashionable fabric Jiang Yuyue was wearing.

She dressed quite conservatively when she was at the Xie family's house, but now that she's back at the Jiang family's house, she's specially changed into a nice outfit to show off?!

Although Madam Xie wanted to agree to Jiang Yuyue's proposal, Jiang Yuyue was her former daughter-in-law no matter what. Now her legitimate daughter-in-law was a princess. If she moved into the Jiang family like this, wouldn't it be a loss if she angered Princess Huajin?

Thinking of this, Madam Xie glared at the impatient Madam Xie, and then slowly said.

“Moon, I know you mean well, but you know your current status... I’m afraid I need to ask Yunqi about this. He’s the one in charge of our family now, and we can’t move out without his permission.”

"It's natural."

Jiang Yuyue readily agreed because she was certain that Xie Yunqi would agree to her proposal. "It's time to ask him about this. Mother, please send someone to inquire. If Yunqi agrees, I can arrange accommodations for the elders."

Seeing that Jiang Yuyue didn't seem to care about this at all, the First Madam was even more surprised. She never expected that there would be such a fool in the world who was willing to clean up the mess for her husband's family even after they were divorced.

"Yuan'er, go to Tongfu Inn and ask your brother what he thinks!"

As if afraid that Jiang Yuyue would change her mind, Madam Xie hurriedly urged, "Go quickly! Don't delay!"

Although Xie Yuan was reluctant, she had no choice but to comply and ran out towards Tongfu Inn.

However, Xie Yuan was a pampered person who had almost never walked such a long distance before. She was exhausted after walking for a short while, and by the time she arrived at the Tongfu Inn, she was covered in sweat.

Just as Xie Yuan was about to walk inside, she was stopped by the guards at the door. "What are you doing?! Didn't you see the notice next to you? This entire inn has been booked out. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter!"

Xie Yuan, now considering herself the princess's younger sister, sneered at the mere guard who dared to stop her, "Open your dog eyes and look! I am the princess's younger sister, how dare you even stop me?!"

"The prince consort's own sister?"

Several guards glanced at Xie Yuan, and seeing her disheveled and panting appearance, she didn't look like the sister of a prince consort at all, so they just assumed she was talking nonsense.

"If you know what's good for you, get lost!"

The guard's tone turned unfriendly. "If you disturb the distinguished guests inside, your frail body won't be able to compensate for it!"

After saying this, the guard forcefully pushed Xie Yuan to the ground. Xie Yuan had never suffered such humiliation before, and immediately shouted loudly at the door, "Big brother! Big brother! Brother Yunqi!"

At this moment, Xie Yunqi was having breakfast with Princess Huajin, Song Jinwan, in the inn. Hearing the noise outside, he couldn't help but frown.

"It's noisy."

Song Jinwan looked displeased. "What are these people doing? They've ruined my good mood first thing in the morning!"

"Princess, please don't be angry," Xie Yunqi said gently, "I'll go out and see what's going on."

"I will go with you."

Song Jinwan's expression turned slightly gloomy. "Let's see who's so foolish as to dare to make a scene here."

When Xie Yunqi helped Song Jinwan walk out, what they saw was Xie Yuan throwing a tantrum on the ground.

The moment Xie Yunqi recognized her as his younger sister, his gaze turned cold. Xie Yuan looked like a country bumpkin, completely lacking the demeanor of a well-bred lady. Her appearance made him unwilling to acknowledge his relationship with Xie Yuan, but he couldn't let her continue to cause trouble like this.

"elder brother?!"

Xie Yuan had sharp eyes; she spotted Xie Yunqi as soon as he came out and quickly stood up to greet him, "Big brother! It's me! It's Yuan'er!"

After saying this, Xie Yuan looked triumphantly at the guards from before, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, that is my own brother, the Prince Consort. If you don't believe me, go and ask him yourselves!"

Upon hearing this, Song Jinwan frowned and looked at Xie Yunqi beside her, asking, "Is she really your sister?"
