Cao Yuqin listened and said with a sullen face, "In addition to Madam Hou, there are also two other ladies from the Bo residence and the wife of the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, Lord Chen, in the temple today. If it weren't for your good luck today, how would you have planned to end it?"

The young prince curled his lips when he heard this: "Why think about something that didn't happen? Can't you answer whatever I asked you?"

Cao Yuqin was about to get angry when the maid next to her immediately pulled her sleeve. Cao Yuqin held back her breath and said, "Don't worry, Madam Bo and I are like sisters. She will come to see me another day."

The young prince snorted after hearing this, and felt a little relieved. He glanced at Cao Yuqin with a squint and said, "Why, you won't talk anymore?"

Cao Yuqin tugged at her sleeves and said coldly, "I have nothing to say."

The young prince was furious when he heard this. He immediately patted the armrest of the chair and stood up and said, "Okay."

Seeing the young prince leave, the maid immediately advised: "Madam, why don't you take this opportunity to get along well with the prince?"

"Get along with him? I'm still mad at him!"

Having said that, she ignored the young prince and told the maid to prepare some snacks and visit the marquis's residence tomorrow.

The young prince was walking towards the back garden, feeling a little uncomfortable. Just as he turned around the rockery, Liu Wuniang appeared and threw herself into the young prince's arms.

"Your Majesty, you didn't even accompany me on my birthday. I'm so sad!"

The young prince looked at her, and thinking of her embarrassing behavior at the banquet, he felt even more ashamed, and pushed her away: "Alright, I have something to do, I have to go out for a while!"

Liu Wuniang saw that something was very wrong and was unwilling to let go. She immediately pretended to fall to the ground, crying out in pain.

The young prince became more annoyed as he listened: "Go, take her away!"

Liu Wuniang was helped up and dragged into the room. She kept shouting, but the young prince walked faster and faster.

Cao Yuqin was pleasantly surprised when she heard the news: "I never thought what my sister said was true. Liu Wu Niang has fallen out of favor so quickly!"

The maid Ming Cui smiled and said, "But I heard that the women in the backyard have already tried their best to win over the prince after hearing the news. Madam, you have to prepare as well!"

Cao Yuqin was a little worried when she heard this, but she pretended to be disdainful and said, "I don't want it. Let those coquettish idiots do their best. I'm happy to watch the show!"

That being said, he went to visit early the next morning carrying a box of snacks.

Shen Yiran personally led her into Wuya Courtyard. Cao Yuqin took Shen Yiran's hand and said affectionately, "Sister, you are really good at predicting things. That Liu Wuniang has really fallen out of favor!"

Ming Cui echoed, "That's right, Madam, please give our Madam some advice. You solved a problem that our Madam couldn't solve in a year in just one meal!"

Cao Yuqin blushed and spat, "Go away, you told me to say it!"

Shen Yiran smiled and patted the back of Cao Yuqin's hand: "These methods can only be used to deal with bad people. They can't defeat sincerity after all."

The more Cao Yuqin listened, the more she trusted Shen Yiran. She nodded and followed him into the house.

"Sister is right. I don't even bother to use these methods to win over men!"

Shen Yiran could see that Cao Yuqin was a straightforward person who disdained those tactics, but looking at her appearance, she was still very eager for love.

He then asked her indirectly what she thought of the young prince.

"I don't often go around the palaces, so I don't know when my sister's marriage was decided."

Cao Yuqin heard this and held her cheek with her hand and said, "It's been a year. They proposed this marriage and my parents agreed to it. I didn't know anything about it. Who would have known that he not only had a maidservant, but also that all the maids around him were restless!"

Shen Yiran smiled and glanced at Ming Cui after hearing this. Ming Cui immediately smiled and said, "Miss, you were planning to get along well with me, but who knew that Liu Wu Niang would be so stubborn and try to suppress you!"

"So it was the royal palace that proposed the marriage. I wonder if my sister has asked why the two families are getting married?"

Cao Yuqin blinked and thought for a moment: "I remember once when I went back to my parents' home in a rage, my mother persuaded me that he was the one who proposed the marriage. Who knows?"

Shen Yiran listened and searched his memories of his previous life. In order to take care of his sick wife, the old prince of Xingwang Mansion gave up his title to the young prince and lived in seclusion in Jiangnan.

Judging from the time, it seems that the proposal of marriage was indeed decided by the young prince himself.

Shen Yiran smiled and handed Cao Yuqin a cake: "Sister, have you ever thought about this question?"

Cao Yuqin took a bite of the soft cake and looked at Shen Yiran in confusion: "What's the problem?"

"Of course, there is no shortage of women around the young prince. All the unmarried women in Kyoto are willing to marry into the prince's palace. Why did the young prince choose only my sister?"

Cao Yuqin blushed when she heard this, but she slammed the table and said angrily, "Maybe they thought I was easy to bully, so they just married me and left me there!"

Ming Cui thought for a moment and said, "Yes, Madam, it seems that nothing has happened since the young prince married you. If it weren't for Liu Wu Niang's instigation, your relationship wouldn't be so strained!"

Cao Yuqin waved her hands impatiently: "Who cares! Just look at what happened yesterday. I've had enough. I'll tell my father when I get back to my parents' house later!"

Shen Yiran saw that she seemed to be determined to divorce, so it was not a good idea to persuade her now. He just changed the subject and never mentioned the matter again.

After seeing me off at the mansion gate, I heard Cao Yuqin ordering the carriage to go back to Cao's mansion, and I knew that she really wanted to do this.

He immediately returned to the palace and wrote a letter to the young prince in the name of Bo Jinnian, making up for the last birthday gift.

The young prince was very unhappy when he heard that his wife had gone back to her parents' home again. After receiving the letter, he ordered the butler to prepare a return gift.

The housekeeper packed the gifts and sent someone to deliver them, and Shen Yiran asked Bai Zhi to pick them up.

"Thank you for your courtesy, my wife is going out to relax with the prince's wife today. The prince's wife is in a very bad mood."

The deliveryman came back and reported these words. The young prince was furious when he heard them and said, "Let her be in a bad mood. She lives in her mother's house most of the year anyway!"

Shen Yiran persuaded Cao Yuqin to take a closer look and stay at her parents' home for the time being and not go back, to give the young prince a chance.

Cao Yuqin believed what Shen Yiran said. Since her wife was in agreement with her, she sent someone back to the palace to pack up some clothes.

When the young prince heard that even his clothes were taken back, he became somewhat confused.

Liu Wuniang and the women in the backyard tried every means to show off, but it only added to his annoyance.

It was delayed for more than ten days. Shen Yiran counted the days and felt that the time had come. Then Bai Zhi brought a visiting card from Prince Xing's Mansion.

"Madam, this is a letter sent by Prince Xing. I brought it here without disturbing the old lady."
