The Prince of Wutong did also hear a bit about this matter.

“Old Man Cheng has no shame,” the Prince commented about his colleague, “Yes, He Tang is an outstanding gentleman with potential. But that still doesn’t justify forced marriages. If he refuses to marry, then so be it, no need to bring him harm. Anyone who can make it in the Imperial Court must have supporters, right? Old Man Cheng really wasted all these years – he deserved to be humiliated by the Princess Consort of the Crown Prince.”

The Princess Consort adjusted her skirts and sat down, then calmly said, “The Cheng Family deserved to be embarrassed by the Princess Consort of the Crown Prince. Who would’ve thought that someone of her stature would still help the friends she made during her difficult times? That’s why I say, if you treat her genuinely, she will do the same.”

“That’s true.”

The Prince of Wutong scratched his head, “Though she made a fool out of me, at least she didn’t waste my time or my resources, and I got over a million in return. That should cover my sons’ expenses for quite some time.”

“Look at you, settling for so little.”

The Princess Consort teased him, “You’re thanking her even after she tricked you.”

The Prince of Wutong chuckled.

What could he do?

He really couldn’t get mad at a million silver coins.

He offered to massage the Princess Consort’s shoulders, “Dear consort, I can’t just go back on my word, right? I already promised the Princess Consort of the Crown Prince that I would stand up for her sisters. I can’t possibly go myself, can I?”

“Imagine the scandal if you were to step foot in the Prince’s harem!” the Princess Consort glanced at him, “Let me tell you, I’ve also heard a thing or two about the happenings at the Prince of Zhao’s residence. Is it really the servants mistreating Princess Consort of Zhao? Or is it actually the Princess Consort of Kang County intentionally making life difficult for her daughter-in-law?”

“Why would she do that?” the Prince of Wutong didn’t understand, “Regardless, the Princess Consort of Zhao is the daughter of Jiang Family – the sister of the Princess Consort of the Crown Prince. Has the Princess Consort of Kang County lost her mind, trying to pick a fight with her?”

“Speaks to how dumb you are!” the Princess Consort scolded her husband, and then patiently explained, “Her daughter-in-law is a princess consort of a prince, yet she herself is merely a princess consort of a county prince. Naturally, the Princess Consort of Kang County feels upset.”

“But that’s only because…”

“Shut up. It’s enough that we know about this.” The Princess Consort shook her head, “Though the Princess Consort of Zhao is a daughter of Jiang Family, she is only a concubine-born daughter and, technically, isn’t a suitable match for the Prince of Zhao. And once a daughter is married off, even a powerful family like Jiang Family should not interfere with how a mother-in-law disciplines her daughter-in-law. As for the Count’s household, their story is more or less the same.”

The Prince of Wutong grumbled, “You women, seriously lack wisdom. You’ve all been daughters-in-law, yet you still make life hard for your own. Why bother? Are you simply too idle to find something better to do?”

Princess Consort chuckled, “As women confined in the inner courtyards, what else do we have to pass time, than these matters? How else should we fill our days? Go join the men in battles?”

“If not fighting in battles, does that mean you must stir up trouble? Look at the Princess Consort of the Crown Prince. She’s also a daughter-in-law, yet dares to openly defy the Empress? And even dragged me into her fight against the Empress. Admire her…”

“Just look at how smug you are. Even if the Princess Consort of the Crown Prince could, she’s not your daughter!”

“If she were my daughter, I’d wake up laughing from my dreams!”

“Be careful your daughter doesn’t hear you!” the Princess Consort got a bit annoyed, “Right, every daughter of Lin Zizi is naturally better than mine. I bet you were also fascinated by Lin Zizi before!”

“Nothing of that sort ever happened!” the Prince of Wutong stated with a serious face, “I fell in love with you at first sight. Don’t you know that?”
