How could I have been presumptuous again? Besides, even if I truly didn't express any agreement or support while you were speaking, hasn't my dear sister already complied with your wishes and apologized to you on my behalf?

Since peaceful coexistence was no longer possible, we decided not to let her bully us at will.

The more you fear or indulge people like them, the more they'll think you're easy to bully and will take advantage of you at any time.

Let's go all the way then.

Gao Youlan was even happier. No one had ever been so to her liking before. "Oh... this little mouth is so clever."

Jiang Wei hugged Gao Youlan's hand and asked, "Can I sleep with you tonight? We'll be inseparable."

"Are you scared?" Gao Youlan asked her.

"Of course, I'm just the daughter of a doctor. It's terrifying to think that I would dare to offend the daughter of the Prime Minister's family." Jiang Wei was just saying it casually.

She dared to confront Hong Xinyue because she knew that the Prime Minister's Mansion wouldn't openly do anything to her because of what happened today.

It's just a quarrel between two young girls, but if the Prime Minister intervenes, the nature of the matter will be completely different.

But she knew that Hung Sin-yueh would never let her go.

She'll probably have to be more careful when she goes out in the future.

Jiang Rou was surprised that Jiang Wei was so bold as to dare to offend even the most favored daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion.

Jiang Wei not only did not suffer a loss, but Hong Xinyue was actually at a disadvantage.

Xiao Zhan's furrowed brows relaxed. She was unwilling to suffer a loss, but why did she end up holding someone else's hand again?

"What are you doing here?" Prince Shen came up from behind Xiao Zhan.

"Royal Uncle," Xiao Zhan greeted him with a cupped-hand salute.

Prince Shen waved his hand, "All the young masters in the capital want to catch a glimpse of the Great Xiao War King's demeanor, so you've been hiding here."

Prince Shen looked through the screen, and his wife, who was sitting at the head of the table, smiled.

I searched through the crowd again.

He turned around, looked at Xiao Zhan meaningfully, and then nodded.

"Why don't we take this opportunity today and have your imperial aunt talk to her and ask her to become your concubine?"

“You’re not much younger than me, and you’ve suffered these past years, so it’s normal for you to have this thought.” Prince Shen patted Xiao Zhan on the shoulder.
