"Princess Muyun, I'm not trying to be mean, but she's just a concubine, and she has no manners at all at the banquet. As her aunt, you should have a good talk with her."

When I arrived, I heard everyone talking about how she became Consort Xiao. The process was not honorable, and everyone knew it.

If you ask me, Consort Xiao should stay in the mansion, cultivate her character, and reflect on her mistakes.

Now look what's happened! They brazenly came to the banquet and caused such a scene. If word gets out, not only will the Jiang family lose face, but the entire Xiao Prince's Mansion will be utterly disgraced!

Lu Minhui shook her head, her eyes filled with undisguised disdain. "If it weren't for your sake, I would have taken Ruozhen away directly. If word got out that we were staying with a concubine, people would think we both approved of this kind of trend!"

Princess Muyun knew that Lu Minhui was always eloquent, but since the two had no prior conflicts, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Who would have thought that today they would become enemies, and she didn't know how to retort after hearing what he said!

"Ruozhen, we, as the mistresses of the house, should avoid dealing with concubines as much as possible in the future, otherwise it will be beneath our dignity."

Lu Minhui's eyes and brows revealed arrogance as she gave her instructions with great seriousness.

Song Ruozhen looked enlightened and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Aunt. I will keep them in mind."

Lu Minhui was very satisfied, and her gaze towards her was exceptionally gentle.

“If Princess Anlan has any complaints about us, she should just say so directly. Why resort to such veiled insults?”

Qinglan was originally the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, and now she is a concubine of Prince Xiao. How can she be treated the same as an ordinary concubine?

Princess Muyun's eyes darkened. Since Lu Minhui was not giving her face, there was no need for her to speak politely anymore.

“Ordinary concubines are naturally not as capable as her.” Lu Minhui smiled knowingly, her gaze shifting to Jiang Luxue beside her.

"Princess Xiao, as the head of the household, you should know how to discipline people."

"A concubine actually dared to say that the mistress of the house couldn't bear children! If this happened in my Anlan Prince's Mansion, I would definitely throw her out!"

A complex look flashed in Jiang Luxue's eyes. She really wanted to do that, but she knew better than anyone that she had no one to back her up, whether in the Jiang family or the Xiao Prince's Mansion.

If she really does that, it won't be her sister who suffers, it will be herself!

"You!" Princess Muyun was furious.

"Princess, please calm down. You are not in good health, so please don't get angry easily. Today is a very special day for Prince Che."

Princess Anlan tried to comfort her, appearing gentle, but everyone knew that she had angered Princess Muyun to the point of fainting and incurring the wrath of Prince Che.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Qinglan immediately knelt down and hurriedly said, "It's all my fault, Princess Anlan, please scold me if you want!"

I was just thinking that my sister has been married for several years but hasn't conceived yet, so I thought that since the Princess of Chu is a skilled physician, I wanted to ask her to take a look at my sister. I didn't expect it would upset everyone.

When Prince Xiao arrived, he saw Jiang Qinglan kneeling on the ground, looking pitiful. Princess Anlan was even leading the bullying against her, and he also showed displeasure on his face.

"What is this doing?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw the undisguised anger on King Xiao's face.

Looks like... there's going to be a good show today.

"Your Majesty..."

Jiang Qinglan looked up with a wronged expression, her doe-like eyes gazing pitifully at Chu Yichuan, tears welling in her eyes, her frail figure appearing as if she were about to collapse.

Chu Yichuan's heart softened, and he quickly stepped forward to help her up.

“Princess Anlan, it is indeed inappropriate for Qinglan to attend the banquet today, but she is the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. She was entitled to attend such an occasion. Why are you bullying her like this?”

As he spoke, he looked at Song Ruozhen with a hint of reproach, "If my sister-in-law is willing to help with the medical treatment, I will certainly be grateful, but even if she is not willing, there is no need to make things so difficult for her."

Song Ruozhen sneered inwardly. It seemed she had overestimated Prince Xiao. He was a fool who would risk everything for a woman!

"Your Majesty, you are mistaken. Princess Muyun summoned Ruozhen specifically for Consort Xiao's sake. Surely it's not to bully Consort Xiao?"

Chu Junting also walked over, his gaze meeting Chu Yichuan's.

Chu Yichuan's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Luxue, as if waiting for an answer.

Under Xiao Wang's gaze, Jiang Luxue could only say, "It was all a misunderstanding just now. Sister shouldn't have said that Princess Chu's eldest sister-in-law couldn't conceive, which caused Princess Chu to misunderstand."

Chu Junting scoffed, "Saying such things in front of so many people, and you call it a misunderstanding?"

Chu Yichuan paused slightly. Could such a thing really be true?

“Your Highness, no, I just heard that Princess Chu is a skilled physician and wanted to ask her to take a look at my sister. I also heard that Luo Qingyin is not in good health and has difficulty conceiving, so I wanted to ask her if she has any problems with this…”

"Shut up! My sister-in-law is in excellent health. You don't even know her well, yet you keep saying things like this, ruining her reputation if word gets out. What are you really up to?"

Yan Qingyu also came today. She was having a good time with someone when suddenly her maid rushed over and said that someone was ruining her daughter's reputation. How could she sit still?

As soon as she arrived, she heard Song Ruozhen confronting someone face to face, and a surge of anger welled up inside her.

"Consort Xiao, I have never offended you before, why are you spreading such rumors?"

Seeing Yan Qingyu come to question her, Jiang Qinglan could not hide her panic. She had only said it casually to provoke Yan Qingli, who would have thought it would cause such a big fuss?

At that moment, she regretted it, but she couldn't take her words back. After all, so many people were listening, and it was absolutely terrible!

"I...I really didn't mean it, I just heard..."

"What did you hear? My daughter has only been married into the Song family for a short time, so it's normal that she hasn't gotten pregnant yet. But now that you've said this, everyone will assume there's something wrong with my daughter!"

"My family, the Duke of Luo's mansion, has no grudge against you, yet you dare to harm my daughter like this!"

Yan Qingyu's face was ashen. Her two children were the ones she valued most, especially Qingyin, who had suffered a lot over the years, and she felt the most sorry for her.

Song Yanzhou had previously said that he didn't care about having children, and even the imperial physicians in the palace kept quiet and wouldn't let the news out. Who would have thought that it would be brought up in public today?

Whether it's true or not, as long as K-On isn't pregnant, everyone will probably think she's really infertile, which is absolutely terrible!

Just then, the old woman rushed over in a hurry—

"Madam, something terrible has happened! Miss has fainted!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingyu's expression changed instantly. Qingyin had also come to the Prince Che's residence today, and it was likely that she fainted from anger upon hearing this news.

"Consort Xiao, if anything happens to my daughter, even if this matter is brought to the imperial court, I will definitely seek justice!"

Yan Qingyu left after saying that.
