Fifth Princess tentatively believed Ruan Hongwen's words.
She felt that Murong Man was right; unable to annul their marriage, already the laughingstock of others, only by making it seem as though she and the Prince Consort were deeply in love could she make people forget and stop being the butt of their jokes.
Thus, after reconciling with the Prince Consort, the Fifth Princess began to appear alongside him everywhere in the Capital City, creating the illusion of a loving couple.
As expected, in less than half a month, no one talked anymore about the embarrassment that occurred during her grand wedding to the Prince Consort.
Moreover, the Prince Consort treated her with more gentleness and consideration, which somewhat made her happy and forgetful of home, believing that he was duped into having an affair with another woman.
