"Get out, I don’t need your fake concern. It must be you, you cheap woman, who secretly communicated with Gu Youyou, marrying the woman I liked off to a coachman, just to humiliate me."

Through the walls of the inner courtyard, Madam Lin and Grandmother Lin could hear the furious voice coming from Prince Jin’s quarters.

Madam Lin has only one daughter, Lin Qianqing, and upon hearing this commotion, she immediately started to cry.

"What sins have I committed to let my daughter suffer like this?"

After saying this, she wanted to enter the inner courtyard.

The maids leading them were in great difficulty, not knowing what error they had made; at this moment, Grandmother Lin pulled Madam Lin back and sighed, "Let it be, grandchildren have their own fortunes. This is not something you can manage, let’s just go and wait in the reception hall."

Madam Lin was escorted by the maids to the reception hall, complaining all the way.

"Mother, I knew something was wrong when that Consort took charge. How can a family matriarch allow a Consort to take over? Is the legitimate wife dead? Look what a mess everything has become. Every time Qianqing comes home, she reports only the good news and hides the troubles, who knows what kind of days she’s having. "

Grandmother Lin comforted her: "Don’t be anxious just yet, let’s see what Daya has to say when she arrives.

Prince Jin was punished a few days ago and is understandably upset; sadly, he took this punishment at the Crown Prince Residence, and since Qianqing is close with Youyou, his taking out his frustration on Qianqing is to be expected. "

Madam Lin angrily said, "How can he blame others for his own misconduct?"

Lin Qianqing quickly came to the reception hall after receiving a message from a servant.

Her eyes were still red as if she had just been crying.

Madam Lin, unable to contain her anger, pulled Lin Qianqing aside and asked, "What happened? Tell me everything. Usually, I would let it slide, but this time I saw it myself, and I must stand up for you."

Lin Qianqing shook her head and said, "It’s nothing, mother, grandmother, why did you come in this cold weather? I was thinking of visiting you in a few days."

Madam Lin said excitedly, "If I didn’t come, how would I know what kind of life you are having? Did Prince Jin make you upset? And what’s the deal with that Consort?"

Lin Qianqing paused for a moment, then sighed softly, "Mother, it’s better if you don’t get involved. This concerns the Prince Jin Residence; even if you wanted to intervene, you couldn’t."

"You..."

"Just leave it be, it’s the same anywhere, and I am not upset."

Seeing Lin Qianqing like this, both Madam Lin and Grandmother Lin could only sigh.

Grandmother Lin asked, "How come Prince Jin is now interested in a healer? What’s this all about?"

Lin Qianqing glanced at them and then outside the door before whispering, "It’s all because Prince Jin still has no offspring, despite it being so long.

Not one of the many women in his residence has shown any signs of pregnancy.

Recently, the Empress summoned me and Prince Qin’s wife, including my cousin, to the Imperial Palace.

She reprimanded my cousin and me fiercely, blaming us for not having children.

My cousin retorted that it might be Prince Jin who has issues, not us.

Since then, Prince Jin has firmly believed that Searcy can bear him children.

I know that Searcy cured him when he fell ill; whether he genuinely likes Searcy or just wants to secretly solve his illness by marrying her, I can’t tell.

Anyways, his plans were ruined, and now he’s like a lit firecracker, ready to explode at any touch. "

Madam Lin and Grandmother Lin could only sigh deeply after hearing this.
