Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 79: None of them are his biological children!

That very night, Su Mowan used a bowl of lotus seed porridge to silence Prince Qin, who had initially been preparing to lecture her about "not wasting money on other men"...

They chased them away.

That evening, she began to enthusiastically wield her brush and ink again.

With five days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Mowan was somewhat self-destructive in her decision to finish the painting in her hand before working on another one.

So when Granny Wei came in with a big smile and invited her to Fenghua Palace, she refused without even looking up.

When Granny Wei saw that Consort Su had recently become obsessed with painting and didn't even want to go to Fenghua Palace anymore, she became very anxious.

"Consort Su, if this old servant may speak frankly, even if you paint more flowers, you must put our Prince first! You paint day and night, while the Prince is left alone in his chambers—"

"Stop it, stop it!"

Su Mowan finally managed to lift her head and glance at Granny Wei.

“I really won’t go today. If your prince is afraid of being alone in his room, he can go to the east courtyard across the street and let Consort Shen take turns today.”

Upon hearing this, Granny Wei's eyes widened instantly.

She gritted her teeth and exclaimed, "What can I say to Consort Su? Giving others an opportunity is to cut off your own hope!"

Su Mowan found it amusing.

"Hope? I'm not trying to belittle anyone, but even if Consort Shen went every day, I guarantee she had no hope!"

That's ridiculous! How can crops grow in the ground without planting seeds?

Then there really is a problem.

Seeing that Su Mowan was so at ease, Granny Wei explained the pros and cons, but found it useless, so she could only return to Fenghua Palace awkwardly.

Murong Jing listened with a cold face and didn't say anything special. He just coldly told Wei Mama to go to Huangfeng Garden and keep an eye on things so that someone wouldn't paint too late.

Granny Wei was relieved.

Remembering Consort Su's words, she asked, deliberately and unnecessarily, before leaving, "Then, Your Highness, shall you have Granny Zhao go to Xiwu Garden to invite Consort Shen over?"

His Highness the King of Qin immediately turned pale.

"No need, I'm tired. You should go and rest too, Granny."

Granny Wei chuckled mischievously twice, and then headed towards Huangfeng Garden.

This is the east courtyard.

Shen Muyue was not asleep yet because she really couldn't fall asleep.

"Caiwei and Caihong, if we still can't find that little beast by tomorrow, we'll go to the market and buy one that looks exactly like it!"

Caiwei and Caihong looked troubled.

"But Miss, we can buy the cat, but we can't get the imperial badge hanging around its neck!"

Shen Muyue angrily pounded the dressing table: "It's all your fault! Why didn't you keep a closer eye on it back then! You've caused so much trouble!"

Caiwei and Caihong fell silent, lowering their heads in a daze.

Annoyed by what she saw, Shen Muyue immediately waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, you can all leave now!"

The two women breathed a sigh of relief and carefully retreated, lifting their skirts, when Shen Muyue remembered something and called them back.

"Wait a minute, did that bitch from the West Courtyard go to Fenghua Palace again tonight?"

Caiwei immediately replied, "I didn't go. I saw Granny Wei come and then leave. I never saw Su Mowan come out."

"That's strange..."

Shen Muyue's eyes darted around. "I don't know what that bitch has been busy with lately. I haven't seen her leave the courtyard in ages."

Caiwei hesitated for a moment, sleeves tucked together, before saying mysteriously, "I heard it's a gift to be presented to the Emperor and Empress during the preparations for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

"What kind of gift takes so long to prepare?"

As Shen Muyue spoke, she waved her hand, her eyes sharp: "Have those two girls, Yumei and Yulan, ask around among their acquaintances! I need to make some preparations; we can't let her steal all the limelight!"

"Yes, this servant will go and give the order right away, Miss, please rest assured!"

Shen Muyue frowned.

She also instructed: "Tomorrow, invite Granny Zhao to come over here and tell her I need to see her."

Although there is no clear definition, it is already an open secret that Granny Wei is in charge of Huangfeng Garden and Granny Zhao is in charge of Xiwu Garden.

Caiwei felt a headache coming on when she thought of Zhao Mama's unpleasant face, but she didn't dare to disobey her young mistress, so she could only nod in agreement.

Su Mowan originally thought that since she hadn't seen anyone all day, the Seventh Princess must have been sent away. But just as she started writing, a pink figure popped out of the flowerbed outside the window.

Su Mowan took a deep breath, barely managing to resist the urge to throw the pen away.

"Seventh Princess, why are you pretending to be a ghost outside my window so late at night instead of sleeping?"

The seventh princess, with a sly grin, used her uninjured hand to grip the windowsill.

"Oh dear, I just came to see you, sister-in-law. As soon as I heard that my third brother was spending the night alone, I couldn't help but come out to see this hero!"

Su Mowan rolled her eyes.

"Heroes don't have time to waste on your nonsense. Go back to where you came from."

"No, sister-in-law~"

The Seventh Princess started to whine in a drawn-out tone, "Look, I call you sister-in-law, so I can't just stand by and watch you die, right? The girl in the East Courtyard doesn't even get this kind of treatment!"

"Thank you for this treatment, Seventh Princess."

Su Mowan looked up and smiled, "Then may I ask how I can save the Seventh Princess?"

The seventh princess's eyes lit up.

He was like a little puppy, practically wagging his tail at her.

"It's no trouble at all. Just tell me what gifts you prepared for Father and Mother. That way, when I return to the palace tomorrow, I can use this information to get Father's pardon!"

"..."

Su Mowan pondered for a moment, waving her calligraphy brush.

Finally, he said, "Here's what we'll do: you tell the Emperor that I spent 100,000 taels of silver to prepare this gift, and I guarantee your father will grant you a pardon."

"One hundred thousand taels?! Did it really cost that much?"

The seventh princess's eyes widened.

"But what if Father asks me what I bought with the 100,000 taels of silver? How should I answer?"

Su Mowan blinked and cleared her throat.

"That's how you keep people in suspense; that way, the Emperor won't have the mind to cause you trouble."

The Seventh Princess thought it made sense and said, "Alright, it's settled then. Sister-in-law, I want to drink lotus seed porridge tomorrow too. Make me a pot before I leave, I need to drink it if I get hungry on the way!"

"..."

A pot?

Hearing her plight, Su Mowan finally took pity on her and said, "As long as you behave yourself and don't cause trouble, it's just lotus seed porridge—"

"Oh, I forgot, I heard from Granny Wei that you can also make a certain kind of soup, sister-in-law. I'd like some of that soup too, I'm thirsty on the way—"

"Seventh Princess, it takes at most half an hour to get from the Prince of Qin's residence to the palace gate. Don't push your luck."

Su Mowan really wanted to roll her eyes.

The Seventh Princess smiled ingratiatingly: "Sister-in-law, you don't understand. I'm not eating it all by myself! What if there's some left on the way? I can take it back to appease Father, right?"

"..."

Su Mowan felt that none of this family members were biologically related!
