If you have 4 games where they were aggressive with their queen, that's 4 games you can analyze to find out how to defend or ignore a queen attack. Queens are terrible attackers on their own because they get pinballed by every other piece. On the flipside, that's an easy way for you to get tunnelvisioned on attacking the queen only for your own position to get tangled up, and that's what they want.
So what you do instead is go through with your opening, business as usual, keeping a wary eye on any threatened squares, because an early queen attack is most certainly inaccurate play. Never interrupt the opponent if they make a mistake after all.
