The Princess Consort was living in the front yard of Lord Ling's Mansion. When Lord Ling married her, no other women were found in the mansion apart from the maids. So she was living in the best yard with the most excellent structure.
Even now when Zhou Huailing came to visit the Princess Consort's yard, he found that the yard was extremely well-built. He spent quite a lot of effort gathering General Liu's forces by pleasing the Princess Consort, but…
He became slightly distressed as he walked into the Princess Consort's yard.
Ruxue was going to become the Princess Consort, so she had to live in the best yard. If the Princess Consort remained in the same yard, then he had to build an even better one for Ruxue, but he was running out of money to afford any more expenses. Therefore, if the Princess Consort could be understanding enough during the talk, he could mention this matter too. If she got angry, then he could wait. There was always going to be a way out.
