  Yun Ting didn't see the Crown Prince's consort, and it just so happened that today the Duke's consort was inviting her sisters to dinner together. So she hurried over early, wanting to explain things to the Duke's consort before everyone else arrived, at least apologize, ask the Duke's consort to calm down first, and then slowly coax her back into a good mood.

  Chu Yun Ting was lost in thought with her head lowered, suddenly feeling as if someone was staring at her, and when she lifted her head, she saw the Crown Prince's consort standing at the door, looking at her coldly.

  She was startled, the Crown Prince's consort had been confined to her quarters, how could she have come out? Without thinking much, she hastily stood up and smiled as she called out: "Elder sister..." Then she hurriedly said: "I went to see elder sister these past two days, but elder sister wasn't feeling well, so I didn't dare disturb her..."

  The crown prince's consort sneered: "So you came directly to find your aunt?"

  Chu Yun Ting's face turned bright red, when had the Crown Prince's consort ever spoken to her in such a tone? She couldn't accept it at all and was left speechless, her face flushed as she stared blankly at the Crown Prince's consort.

  The princess consort sat in the chair, coldly saying: "But you came too early, do you know? Serving the county king's wife to get up and wash, is still my job as a daughter-in-law. Hasn't become this family's daughter-in-law yet."

  Chu Yun Ting let out a surprised cry: "Big sister!" Her face turned red as if it was about to bleed, and she looked both angry and embarrassed, with her eyes welling up.

  The crown prince's consort frowned coldly and impatiently: "Stop pretending, what do you think I don't know? You want to marry Zhu Yuetuo so much that it makes me want to vomit blood?"

  "Big sister" Chu Yunting was extremely embarrassed and angry, her eyes brimming with tears. She hastily lowered her head and pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve, sobbing: "I didn't know anything about Li Lankun's affair, it was all her own doing. I'm big sister's biological younger sister, how could I do something to harm my own sister?"

  The crown prince's consort turned her face to look at her, coldly smiling and saying: "Still talking to herself here, doesn't know what happened now? Who called that little cheap woman into the mansion? Isn't brother-in-law going to marry the secondary wife? Marrying isn't it a good friend? Still says won't do? Says is good to hear, doing is also not less done.

  "Big sister is wronging me, if I had known Li Lanjun was that kind of person, why would I have asked her to come and help an outsider harm my own sister?"

  "Linglong seven orifices, what idea did you come up with? How would I know?" The Crown Prince's consort paused for a moment, then sneered: "No, of course I know that you've racked your brains, isn't it just to marry Zhu Yuxu?"

  She suddenly stood up: "I'm telling you, as long as I am still the princess of this manor, you can forget about it for this lifetime"

  "Big sister" Chu Yunting didn't expect her attitude to be so resolute, without leaving any room for compromise. Previously, when she was thinking about how to explain things to the crown prince's consort, she had thought for a long time about what big sister's attitude would be like. She thought that even if big sister wouldn't help, she might mock her or perhaps, after listening to her pleas and explanations, they could discuss what to do together... Now it seems that she was overthinking things - big sister didn't even think twice before turning against her.

  She was at a loss for what to do, and just stood there blankly as the Crown Prince's consort walked into the house.

  The maids who were waiting at the door began to bustle about, going in and out with water and basins. The princess must have woken up. Chu Yunting hastily wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, took a deep breath to calm herself down, called Nian'er in, took out the small mirror and rouge from her sleeve, applied some powder around her eyes to cover them up, and then sat quietly for a while.

  She had thought of all the excuses to explain to the Duchess, but she hadn't expected to say them in front of the Crown Princess, so some words needed to be carefully chosen. Moreover, the Crown Princess's strong reaction was beyond her expectation, and it was hard to guarantee that the Duchess would not react strongly as well. She didn't dare to provoke the Duchess again, so she sat outside without rushing to go in, calming down and thinking carefully.

  The princess also deliberately ignored her and didn't tell the duchess that she was waiting outside, and today the duchess called her out, and she had to apologize to the duchess.

  "Mother, I've been thinking quietly for the past few days and realized that everything you said makes sense. It's just that I was too reckless and spoke without thinking, hurting your feelings..."

  The princess called her over today, also thinking that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should ease up a bit. It's not going to work if they remain stiff like this. Now looking at her being humble and obedient, she felt relatively satisfied in her heart, nodded, and said with a heavy heart: "Xue Er, you are my niece, who else can I care about? I was also angry and resentful about Li's matter, but things have already happened. Minister Li is a high-ranking official in the court, we are just a powerless king, we can't afford to offend him. Now it's still good that they are willing to form this marriage alliance. If they were not reconciled and wanted to make a big deal out of it, think about it, wouldn't the young master be ruined because of this matter? What would I gain from that?"

  She looked at the Crown Prince's consort, who was lowering her head and not speaking, after all, she was her own niece, and had been serving by her side for three or four years. Her heart couldn't bear it either, so she spoke in a softer tone: "At that time, I suddenly heard the news and my heart felt uncomfortable. I understand, I don't blame you. From now on, we need to be more gentle and do things more smoothly. As the Crown Prince's consort, although he has married a secondary wife, she is still the proper Crown Prince's consort. As long as I am here, your position will be stable. In the future, we need to think of ways to win back the Crown Prince's heart, and get him to go there more often. If you can become pregnant, who would dare to disrespect you?"

  These words are really heart-wrenching, the crown prince's consort was both moved and saddened, crying as she buried her face in her bosom: "Mother..."

  The princess of the county king also felt emotional, as long as the crown prince's wife understood and changed her temper, thinking of ways to please the crown prince, it would save her a lot of trouble in the future.

  The princess consort cried for a long time before getting up. The duchess ordered someone to fetch water for the princess consort to wash her face. A maid took the opportunity to report in a low voice, "Second young lady has been waiting outside for almost an hour."

  The princess of the county was startled, and the crown prince's consort rubbed her eyes and said: "Oh, I just remembered that I originally came in to talk to my mother, who knew that when I talked about something else, I actually forgot about her."

  The princess looked at the crown prince's wife and did not hurry to call in Chu Yunting, but only said: "Wash your face, use my perfume to wipe your face, and put on some powder."

  The princess consort replied softly, washed her face and sat in front of the county king's wife's dressing table, carefully reapplying her makeup, then came over to sit beside the county king's wife, who only then called for Chu Yunting to come in.

  Chu Yunting had already waited for a whole hour, and the county princess had been up for half an hour. The maid should have reported it long ago, but she was still asked to wait for so long, which shows that the county princess also wants to give herself face. Chu Yunting's heart has cooled down, just hoping to be careful today and not provoke those two women again.

  He then entered the house, bowed and greeted them with a smile, and carefully sat down beside them.

  "It's actually quite early for you to arrive, is there something you'd like to discuss?" She came so early and waited for half a day, the duchess naturally had to ask if there was anything on her mind.

  Chu Yun Ting hesitated for a moment, thinking that she wouldn't bring it up herself, but when the princess asked, she couldn't help but want to explain. Mainly because she really wanted to clarify her feelings and this matter was truly not her fault, she was just being implicated. Auntie and big sister, please don't be angry anymore!

  Seeing her hesitant look, the princess of the county had already thought of it and directly said: "Don't mention past things again. Li Niang was a good friend before, and now she has become a family member of my elder sister's husband's family. We should be closer to her and not create distance."

  This is telling her not to fall out with Li Lankun.

  Is Chu Yun Ting not clear about this? Li Lan Jun has become the concubine of the crown prince, and from now on they are one family. The princess of the county king naturally does not want to make them a discordant family because of her own relationship, especially the subtle relationship between the elder sister who is the proper wife and the concubine. She feels bitter in her heart, knowing that the princess of the county king regards herself as an outsider, not wanting this outsider to interfere with their family affairs again, whereas Li Lan Jun has now become one of them.

  It was unbearable in her heart, and of course she didn't dare to show it on her face. She replied in a low and timid tone, and felt that the Crown Prince's consort shot over a cold gaze that was icy to the extreme.

  She lowered her head and didn't dare think extra thoughts, just hoping today would pass quickly.

  Chu Yunqing arrived a little later, she was openly rejected by Zhu Yuye last time, and has been disheartened for the past two days, hiding in her room without coming out. Today she came a bit earlier, when she saw that her second sister had already arrived, she felt some regret, thinking that she should have come earlier. She didn't know what her second sister had just said to the Duchess and the Crown Prince's consort.

  The county princess's attitude was neither cold nor hot, and it felt like she wasn't as warm as before. Chu Yunqing didn't dare to speak much either. However, when Chu Keqi arrived, the county princess's attitude became more cordial, and both Chu Yunting and Chu Yunqing could sense it.

  "After a few days, the weather will get warmer and we should all go out more often. Staying cooped up in the house all day can easily lead to illness." The princess cautioned, and the three of them hastily agreed.

  Everyone was talking when they heard a report from outside: "The king's wife, Third Master and Fifth Master have arrived."

  Chu Yunting was shocked, she didn't expect that the king's wife would call her third uncle over for dinner tonight. She subconsciously reached out to adjust her hair bun, only to realize that this action was a bit too much. The crown prince's wife and Chu Yunqing both looked over at her, the crown prince's wife with mocking and ridicule in her eyes, while Chu Yunqing had a fake smile on his face. Chu Yunting's face suddenly turned bright red, and she felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

  They made silent movements here, and Zhu Yuye and Zhu Yuhuan had already entered the door. The two smiled and paid their respects, and also exchanged greetings with several of their cousins. The princess of the junwang asked strangely: "How did you come?"

  It wasn't the Princess of Junwang who called them, Chu Yunting didn't know why, but she felt a sense of relief, perhaps deep down, she didn't want to be in such a sorry state, and both the Princess of Junwang and the Crown Prince's consort were displeased with her expression, which fell into Zhu Yuxu's eyes.

  It is by.
