The mother and daughter went their separate ways.
Each busy with their own affairs.
The nanny returned to the Prince's residence and relayed Mrs. Han's words to the Princess Consort.
The Princess Consort was quite composed, whereas Chu Lilan burst out angrily, "What does she amount to, anyway? I invited her over out of respect. If she..."
"Hold your tongue!" the Princess Consort shouted in anger.
"Mother Consort..." Chu Lilan protested softly.
"Is this how you educate your daughter? No wonder we've been back for so many days yet no one from the Zeng Family has come to fetch her, nor has the son-in-law visited!" the Prince shouted angrily before turning to Chu Lilan, "You, pack up your things immediately and return to the Zeng Family. Since when does a married daughter celebrate the New Year at her parents' home!"
"Father!" Chu Lilan cried out in panic.
She didn't want to return to the Zeng Family; they all looked down on her.
