Crown Princess Consort Shen Xiu and Seventh Prince Consort Xia Yixiao sat at Lin Jingxian's place for a short while before each returned home. Xia Yixiao's observations today would not be considered for now. As soon as Shen Xiu returned to the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince asked her about the day's events.
Crown Prince Ye Zheng looked normal, seemingly embodying the concerned and dignified demeanor of a future monarch regarding his brother's household: "How was it? Did the Fifth Brother mistreat his wife and their legitimate children?"
Shen Xiu smiled lightly as she served him a meal, her tone filled with envy and admiration: "Your Highness is overthinking it. It was only today during my visit to the Fifth Sister-in-law's place that I truly understood what it means to have wealth and glory presented to her. Although the Fifth Brother is somewhat flirtatious, he treats the Fifth Sister-in-law with nothing but the finest care and precision."
