"You heard right!" Little Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up.

Dean Yun is a stingy, greedy old man! He even sells academy uniforms at sky-high prices!

"Who else would I hear it from but your Imperial Uncle gossiping?"

"Imperial Uncle is truly insightful," Qiao Mu said earnestly, nodding her small head.

Seeing this, Liu Lanyun couldn't help but chuckle. "Come on, let's go inside and chat more with your Imperial Aunt. It's been so long since I've seen you. You must stay tonight, listen to your aunt!"

The little Crown Princess blinked, and before she could even raise a hand, Princess Consort Kang pulled it down.

"I'll have someone inform the Crown Prince later. I'm borrowing his wife for a night; he shouldn't be so petty as to refuse, right?"

As she said this, she herself couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The little Crown Princess tilted her head, thought for a moment, and nodded. "Alright! Then I'll trouble Imperial Aunt."

"Oh, what trouble! Imperial Aunt couldn't be happier," Princess Consort Kang said, beaming with joy.

"Imperial Aunt, I'll take your pulse first in a bit."

"Yesterday, the Old Prince told Lian that all the ingredients on the medicine list have been found. We'll check later, and if your physical condition allows, we can start the acupuncture."

"Good, good, good," Liu Lanyun nodded repeatedly, smiling. "There's no rush right now. Let's chat properly first."

"Sister." As the two walked arm-in-arm affectionately into the manor, a soft, weak voice came from behind them.

Qiao Mu clearly felt Princess Consort Kang's arm, which was linked with hers, stiffen slightly, and her body involuntarily tensed up.

She couldn't help but frown and turned back with Princess Consort Kang to look at a frail woman who had just stepped out of a carriage, dressed in plain white mourning clothes and wearing a small white flower in her hair.

Uh...

The woman seemed like a willow branch swaying in the wind, with tears brimming in her palm-sized face. Before she even spoke, tears were already streaming down her cheeks.

Qiao Mu felt Princess Consort Kang's body tense up even more, her lips pressed tightly together without a word.

"Sister." The fragile, helpless woman looked pitifully at Princess Consort Kang and softly said, "Forgive my intrusion. But Sister knows my current situation."

"After my late husband passed away, his entire family drove me out. I truly have nowhere to go, only here to find Sister."

Liu Lanyun's face was incredibly grim.

Qiao Mu couldn't help but glance curiously at the frail woman.

The woman looked so delicate and weak, as if a gust of wind would knock her over. Tears flowed before she spoke. Standing at the entrance of Prince Kang's Estate, her pitiful appearance made passersby cast glances at her.

Those who didn't know would think Princess Consort Kang had bullied this woman, making her stand at the entrance of the Prince Kang's Estate, weeping continuously...

Dan Ling, the head maid beside the Princess Consort, stepped forward with a sneer, blocking the frail woman, and said coldly, "Third Miss, Third Young Master suddenly passed away. Our Princess Consort has already sent people to offer condolences, sent comfort money, and arranged for someone to escort Third Miss back to the Liu family."

"I don't know why Third Miss isn't going back to the Liu family and is coming to the Prince's Estate instead?"

Your maternal home is the Liu Manor, not our Prince's Estate, hey!

Dan Ling could barely resist rolling her eyes.

Old Madam Liu of the Liu Manor was truly odd, or rather, her heart had become incredibly biased.

She clearly knew her youngest daughter's actions were inappropriate, yet she tacitly allowed her to come to the Prince's Estate to seek out their Princess Consort.

The excuse was that her late husband had died, and she had no relatives to turn to but her sister.
