Zhulan was truly puzzled. Since Shangguan Jia's wedding, the women of the Shangguan family were different from the men, instead becoming quite low-key. They never attended unnecessary banquets, especially after the Crown Princess Consort became pregnant, she nearly stopped going out altogether.
The Marquis Zhou Residence and the Shangguan family didn't have frequent interactions, so receiving an invitation was surprising.
In the evening, Zhulan discussed with Zhou Shuren, "I've pondered it all day and still don't understand."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "There must be something up?"
There must be a reason for the visit; the Shangguan family is as cautious as the Ning family. Who knows about the future, but for now, they've clearly earned the Crown Prince's trust!
Zhulan whispered, "The Shangguan family has it tough, the scheming surrounding the Crown Princess Consort hasn't stopped since she became pregnant."
