Jiang Qingwan looked at her curiously, seemingly unconcerned about being slandered.

She recalled that when she last asked about Mo Yunhan's mother, Ye Qi's behavior was also very strange.

Could it be that his mother really has some problem, which is why a demon-suppressing entity appeared in Mo Yunhan's body?

At this moment, Madam Cheng tugged at Su Yulan, her expression equally solemn.

"Lan'er, be careful what you say, don't bring this up carelessly."

Su Yulan knew when to stop.

“Mother, I only spoke up to remind Madam Song because I didn’t want her to be misled. But since it concerns the royal family, how could I speak carelessly?”

She was certain that both Mo Qingrui and Song Yushu would quickly sever ties with Jiang Qingwan at this moment.

She desperately wanted to see Jiang Qingwan thrown out of the teahouse in a pathetic state.

Song Yushu's emotions came quickly and went quickly; he soon suppressed them.

She looked up at Madam Cheng, her previous politeness gone, replaced by a sharp tone.

"If you can't control your daughter's mouth, then I'll have to go to the palace myself and ask the Empress Dowager just how angry she was with my Yun Han that she allowed Princess Yulan to say such things in public!"

"If this matter was not permitted by the Empress Dowager, then please come to the palace yourselves to plead guilty! The Emperor Emeritus himself issued this decree; are you two going to disobey it?"

Cheng's expression changed slightly.

"Madam Song, Lan'er was only thinking of His Highness the Ninth Prince, it's really..."

"Hmph, does the Ninth Prince's Mansion need your kindness? Do you really think you're royalty? Even if the old prince came, he wouldn't be so tactless!"

Song Yushu's cold rebuke made Cheng's face sting.

The Su family relied entirely on the old prince's favor and protection, but the old prince was just a prince of a different surname.

He has absolutely no connection to royalty.

Mo Qingrui's smile was sarcastic.

"When did the royal family of the Great Zhou change their surname from Mo to Su? How come I, a princess, didn't know?"

Cheng's face turned even uglier.

Su Yulan was furious. "Are you all crazy? The stakes are so obvious, yet you're all ganging up to protect a divorced woman. Why don't you just throw her out?"

Mo Qingrui's face was full of disdain.

"Stop throwing this nonsense about interests at me. Our friendship is our friendship, what does it have to do with the court? If, as you say, every trivial matter between women has to be linked to their own men, then you, as members of the Su family, don't fawn over the Imperial Concubine, but instead have a close personal relationship with the wife of the Empress's son's tutor. When the Japanese princess enters the palace, she will definitely have to say a few words to the Imperial Concubine."

At this moment, Cheng's face visibly showed panic.

The third young lady of the Su family entered the palace and was favored all the way to the rank of Noble Consort, equivalent to the Empress. However, for some reason, despite receiving the most favor, she never got pregnant.

I've tried many methods over the years in my quest to have a child.

However, there were too many taboos in the palace, so she often asked Cheng to send some folk remedies into the palace.

Therefore, the two had an excellent relationship, and Cheng was considered the biggest asset of the Su family.

If she knew about my private relationship with the Huo family, she would definitely overthink it.

She quickly reached out and pinched Su Yulan.

"You child, you speak so rashly, why don't you apologize to the princess?"

Su Yulan stomped her feet in anger.

"Mother, I didn't say anything wrong, why should I apologize? Jiang Qingwan is a lowly merchant's daughter, a divorced woman kicked out by the Qin family, and they still treat her like a treasure. What do they want from her? Isn't it because she's shameless, selling her body to serve men, and helping the Ninth Prince win over court officials..."

"Smack!"

In her haste, Cheng slapped her across the face.

"You're getting more and more outrageous, saying all sorts of things. Go back inside right now and reflect on your actions. You're not allowed to leave the house until you understand what you did wrong!"

Su Yulan covered her face in disbelief, her eyes red with anger.

She didn't understand why her mother wasn't on her side either.

He actually hit her in public, making her lose face.

She turned her head and glared fiercely at Jiang Qingwan.

Today, Qin Minglang was able to obtain the position of commander of the patrol battalion and gain the emperor's favor by relying on the chariot map.

By then, he would have complete control over the security of the entire capital.

She has plenty of ways to kill that bitch.

"You just wait!"

After saying that, he tried to turn and leave.

But Mo Qingrui stopped him in a cold voice.

"Don't the children of the Su family even understand the principle of apologizing for wrongdoing? Or do they think they can act arrogantly and disregard the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty just because they are relying on the old prince's prestige?"

Su Yulan's face turned bright red.

Cheng had no choice but to bring Su Yulan back, since Mo Qingrui had even brought up the old prince.

"Quickly apologize to Princess Qingrui."

Su Yulan was so angry she almost cried.

Mo Qingrui was still holding Jiang Qingwan's arm at this moment, and bowing to Mo Qingrui was almost as if she were bowing to Jiang Qingwan.

How could she swallow this insult?

Cheng hurriedly pushed her from behind and coaxed her in a low voice.

"Let's settle things peacefully first, and then make plans."

Helpless, Su Yulan gathered her sleeves and bowed to Mo Qingrui.

"Magnolia is for Princess Qingrui..."

"It's not for me, it's for my Jiang sister."

Mo Qingrui's words instantly ignited Su Yulan's temper.

"Apologize to her? On what grounds? I am a county princess personally appointed by the Emperor, and my husband is a second-rank military officer. She is just a nobody merchant, yet she expects me, the county princess, to bow down? Don't even mention me scolding her; what if I slap her twice? What then?"

Huo echoed this sentiment.

“Princess Qingrui just mentioned the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As a commoner, shouldn’t Jiang Qingwan kneel down before us? Even if Princess Yulan is wrong, there should still be a proper order of precedence.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yulan immediately raised her chin.
