Another middle-aged woman, hearing them discuss the morning's events, chimed in: "Do you know? Prince Qin has always had a girl in his heart, but for some reason... anyway, ever since Prince Qin's Consort entered the household, she has never been treated with any regard. The fact that you mentioned Prince Qin abusing his wife and favoring a concubine over her just cleared up my own doubts. It makes me feel that those rumors from back then weren't just gossip—they were the truth! Otherwise, Miss Shen wouldn't have chosen such a scorched-earth way to break with the Prince today. Sigh, what a tangled web of fate."
"Oh, you're telling me! No wonder the news of their marital split broke over a month ago! Poor Miss Shen. But today, the courage she showed in letting go and severing ties with the Prince is an example for all of us weak, elderly, and women to follow. Even without a man, one must live a vibrant life."
"Tsk, I don't agree with that. While it’s certainly satisfying to act like that, what nobleman would dare to marry her now? Even if they officially separated, her reputation is ruined."
