Zhang Mingshu had no close relatives alive, so naturally, her marital arrangements were completely left to the discretion of the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion.
Surprisingly, the Princess Consort of Zhenbei actually arranged an external residence for Zhang Mingshu to live in until the wedding, from where she would be brought into the mansion. Those unaware might think that the Prince's Mansion was very dissatisfied with this new Crown Princess.
Actually, situations like that of Zhang Mingshu were not unprecedented. If they truly valued a daughter-in-law, naturally, they would carefully select a family and recognize the person as an adopted daughter and relative. In that case, the girl would have a status and wouldn't face the embarrassment of being married without even a mother to send her off, which would really look awkward.
