Song Yue shrank back, looking terrified, nervously twisting the handkerchief in her hand, stammering without giving a clear answer, her eyes glancing at Yuan Fuling.
Yuan Fuling's eyelids twitched, and she secretly thought something was wrong.
The Duke of Jingguo also saw it and took a deep breath: "Make Yuehua Pavilion available today!"
"Lord Duke?" Yuan Fuling asked, displeased.
"Stop your nonsense!" Duke Jingguo roared, and even summoned his steward to help Yuan Fuling move.

"Yue'er, you are just like your mother. If she knew how much you have suffered, she would be heartbroken and would blame me for not protecting you well."
"Yue'er..."
In her memory, the Northern Chu Emperor had never spoken a harsh word to her and always gave her face.
On one occasion, a concubine in the harem simply scolded Song for being motherless, and that very night she was summoned by the Emperor of Northern Chu, only to die suddenly in the middle of the night.
