"Thank you, cousin." Chu Hengchuan nodded as he looked at Qin Birou, his gaze serving as a form of affirmation. Ever since Su Lanzhi, his secondary consort, had lost the ability to bear children, she had done nothing but weep and make scenes within the estate. Meanwhile, Princess Consort Dantai Jing was someone who lacked both resolve and a sense of order. Now, it was his cousin Qin Birou who seemed most capable of holding the estate together. Perhaps the time had come to transfer the power of managing the household from the Princess Consort to his cousin.
"Cousin, why must we speak of thanks between us? Besides, you are Birou’s husband; why talk like we are two separate families?" Qin Birou appeared virtuous and deeply understanding.
Qin Birou’s words won Chu Hengchuan’s favor once again, making him feel that a proper Princess Consort should be exactly like his cousin—someone who could represent him with grace. When he looked at Dantai Jing lying on the bed, she seemed increasingly unpresentable. It was no wonder that even his mother, the Imperial Consort, looked down on her more and more.
