Roll up your sleeves, grab the chopsticks, and stop thinking about the Seventh Princess. Anyway... she squinted fiercely, looking both cute and fierce. If you really make her angry, so what if she’s a princess? It’s a matter of life!! She could easily deal with it using a poisonous gu. The first order the Seventh Princess issued upon entering the city was to lock it down—no one is allowed to leave! This action caused a panic among the citizens, who feared she would again capture eligible men like she did last year. But the Seventh Princess’s subsequent actions were puzzling. She immediately returned to the City Lord Mansion. Ever since taking over the city, she had been residing in the City Lord Mansion, which served as her temporary palace. Liang Zhichen had planned to remain unchanged amidst changes, expecting a confrontation upon the princess’s return, and had eliminated one of her arms, which was Charles, before her arrival. But the princess’s calm demeanor surprised him. In the Blue mansion, within the study, the desk was piled high with various intelligence reports. Liang Zhichen frowned as he looked at these reports. He was analyzing the Seventh Princess, investigating why she was so quiet. Her demeanor felt confident yet also seemed as if she was waiting for something. Could it be that the Seventh Princess had another unknown move? Dong Huiying carried some pastries into the study and saw the man behind the desk wearing a frown. This man probably worried too much, frowning into a "川" character. Zhichen looked up and, upon seeing his wife, instinctively relaxed his frown for a gentle expression. "Have some snacks," Dong Huiying placed the pastries on the table. It was afternoon, not too long after they had lunch. "Where’s Shu Yu?" Zhichen rose and approached her, holding her hand. She replied with a smile, "He’s gone out again." "Is it another gathering with friends over music?" She suspected Shu Yu had become a music fanatic, as he felt uneasy if he didn’t play the zither for a day. Especially recently, while Dong Huiying and Liang Zhichen were busy dealing with Charles, Shu Yu found himself of little use in the Blue mansion, and staying cooped up was quite boring, so he started his secret outings. Initially, Dong Huiying was quite concerned about it, but later learned that Shu Yu had made several friends and started enjoying musical gatherings. She supported this; whether it was Shujun’s business ventures, Yue Ning’s passion for building houses for others, or Shu Yu’s musical gatherings, she wanted the men to be happy. She had always thought this way. But deep down, she vaguely understood that the men at home might be keeping busy to show a mutual understanding and consideration. They didn’t want to become resentful husbands, hence avoiding clinging to her too much and causing discord at home by fighting for attention. After all, she was only one person, and spending time with one meant neglecting the others. As the men gradually found their own careers, arranging their lives to be rich and satisfying, there was less chance of household discord and rivalry that plagued other families’ backcourts. Liang Zhichen pulled her down to sit, and she asked him what he had been looking at earlier. He answered, "I always feel that the situation at the City Lord Mansion seems more like the calm before the storm."
