The incident was successfully resolved and the banquet’s peaceful atmosphere was also restored. No one was aware of Xie Xuanji’s complex emotions.
Looking at the opposite side, Xie Xuanchen suddenly grinned and said, “Court Official Jiang is excellent at instructing ladies, which explains why he dared to urge Princess An to uphold virtue. After watching Prince Jin’s performance just now, it’s clear that Princess Jin is definitely a model of virtue.”

Not long ago, he urged Mu Mingtang to make room for Xie Xuanchen to take more concubines in the backyard, but now that a woman had been stuffed into his own daughter’s backyard, he could not express his frustration.
Xie Xuanchen firmly rejected accepting another woman, but Xie Xuanji didn’t even try to act polite and simply accepted Wanyan Duo with a smile.
As Xie Xuanji’s father-in-law, Jiang Honghao felt very uncomfortable seeing his actions. As they say, one only felt pain when they were cut themselves.
Jiang Honghao was embarrassed, and Mrs. Jiang had an anxious expression on her face. Because of the banquet, she dared not express her feelings, but she couldn’t help but keep looking at Jiang Mingwei’s tables afterward.
Jiang Honghao’s recent remarks angered Mu Mingtang, but as an adopted daughter, she was obviously at a disadvantage in the eyes of the public. So, she had to keep her mouth shut. Now that the tables had turned, she inhaled deeply and said to herself, ‘Let’s forget about it. The Jiang family received their retribution. Hmph…’
Mu Mingtang was happy after thinking about the current situation and her hatred was also relieved. Sure enough, it was really comfortable to see your enemy suffer. ‘Since Jiang Honghao wants to teach me how to become a virtuous woman, let his daughter show it in person.’
After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, the people around looked at each other and smiled without saying a word. Everyone with a keen eye could see that Prince An’s comments were on behalf of Princess An. After all, the princess bore the name of an adopted daughter, and Xie Xuanchen was aware of the Jiang family’s perspective about Mu Mingtang.
Everyone pretended not to know that Prince An was targeting the Jiang family as they continued to converse and laugh joyfully while feeling amused in their hearts.

There were many noble family members, as well as chariots and carriages, at the palace gate. Jiang Mingwei and Mrs. Jiang were strolling towards the carriage when Mu Mingtang happened to be passing by.
Mu Mingtang stopped on purpose and sincerely congratulated Jiang Mingwei with a smile. “Congratulations to Princess Jin for getting a new companion. I heard that Princess Wanyan is good at singing, dancing, archery and horse riding. It’s unfortunate that I don’t know horse riding. If my sister-in-laws don’t find me annoying, one day I’d like to visit Jin Mansion and ask Princess Wanyan to teach me.”
Jiang Mingwei and Mrs. Jiang were already in a serious conversation, but when Mu Mingtang interrupted them with such sarcastic words, Jiang Mingwei began to boil inside and was ready to scold her.
Mrs. Jiang, who saw through her daughter’s thoughts, hurriedly held her back and replied to Mu Mingtang with a calm and natural smile: “Princess An must be joking. If you want to learn horse riding, there are plenty of experienced horsemen for you to choose from. But if you want to learn from Princess Wanyan, we will naturally cheer for you.”
Mu Mingtang replied with a smile, “Mrs. Jiang and Princess Jin are both well-educated, virtuous women. Then we’ve a deal. I will see you another day.”
Didn’t Jiang Honghao persuade her to be virtuous? So Mu Mingtang emphasised the word virtuous to express that their karma had come like a boomerang.
There would be retribution for everyone for every action they took.
