The woman who looked like a maid put down her tools and came over.

"Where are you from?" Gao Xiyue asked.

"Replying to Your Highness, I am a maidservant who serves this garden," the maidservant said with a curtsy.

It turns out that there is a back garden between Qiushui Pavilion and Langyue Pavilion, and this girl is the maid who serves the garden.

"Do you know what you just said?" Gao Xiyue asked, looking up at the maid.

"This servant overheard the two princesses' conversation. I heard them discussing the matter of the concubine entering the palace," the maid said.

"Oh? Then tell me quickly! This princess has a reward for you," Gao Xiyue said hastily.

"I heard that this concubine is someone our Prince had no choice but to marry," the maid said.

Gao and Su exchanged a glance, both seeing the difference in each other's eyes.

“Explain it in more detail,” Gao Shili asked.

"I heard that this concubine forced the prince to marry her by threatening to ruin her reputation," the maid said.

Lady Gao was stunned for a moment, then took off a gold ring from her hand and gave it to the maid.

After she left, Madam Su said, "Why did you give her such a valuable reward?"

Madam Gao said, "Sister, we're new here, so it won't hurt to do us a little more favor."

Madam Su nodded and said, "Women all hope that their husbands will only love them. I think it's inevitable that the two of them will have a fight. But I'm afraid that when the devils fight, the little devils suffer. What if they make a move on us?"

"I won't let them take advantage of me," Gao Xiyue said confidently. "With my intelligence, how could I let them use me for nothing? But I'd love for them to fight each other. You know, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Then we can take the opportunity to gain the prince's favor." Gao Xiyue said excitedly.

Su Lufu asked, "How can you be sure they won't take advantage of you?"

Gao Xiyue said coquettishly, "Oh! Sister, you know how smart I am. How could I not see through their thoughts? So they can't take advantage of me. On the contrary, I will definitely take advantage of them."

Su Lufu frowned. "What do you want to do?"

"Of course I want to find a way to make them fight each other, otherwise how can you and I reap the benefits!"

Gao Xiyue's arrogance made Su Lufu want to laugh. She advised, "Xiyue, the principal wife and the concubine have just arrived at the manor. We should not show off. We should keep a low profile so that they will let us off the hook."

But... Gao Xiyue argued.

Su Lufu interrupted her, "I say what I mean, and that's how it is. If you listen to me, do you still consider me your older sister?"

"Oh, I see," Gao Xiyue pouted.

Su Lufu could tell from her expression that she was dissatisfied, but she didn't try to persuade her. She believed that time would make Gao Xiyue understand her good intentions.

The atmosphere was awkward, so Su Lufu said in an attempt to ease the tension, "Let's go for a walk in the garden."

Gao Xiyue was cheerful and easygoing. The moment the topic of the concubine came up, she immediately forgot her earlier argument with Su Lufu. She immediately said, "Alright, let's go admire the flowers. But it seems I should get closer to the principal wife and stay away from the concubine in the future. I don't want to upset Consort Xi, and besides, the principal wife is the official wife, and I heard she's very much liked by the Prince."

Su nodded, but inwardly she disagreed.
