Her grandson regretted mentioning Shen Juhua's affairs shortly after, knowing that the Qing County Official's daughter was Cai Wei's close friend. Whether Cai Wei was willing to let her marry Mo Zili remained uncertain, and now that he had confessed, would she resent him for it?
Thinking about this, he grew apprehensive. His madam was currently pregnant and must not be upset. If she were angered by his slip of the tongue and harmed the child, it would undoubtedly be his fault.
So, he hurriedly invited his maternal grandmother to the Imperial Mother's palace to discuss Zhao Yue's marriage with his mother. As for himself, with a guilty conscience, he rushed back to the royal study to probe Cai Wei's thoughts.
Upon returning to the courtyard of the royal study, he unexpectedly saw Princess Zhao Gui. However, she wasn't chatting leisurely with Cai Wei in the room; instead, she was kneeling humbly outside, waiting for Cai Wei's summons with utmost deference.
