Madam Shen advised from the side, "Second Miss, I will hold another banquet in a couple of days and will definitely give you justice in public."
Song Yao nodded and thanked her.
Even Shen Ruyun was comforting Song Yao.
Everyone was criticizing Song Yue's faults and forcibly adding to her guilt.
"Madam, Madam!"
A maidservant rushed in from outside, holding a jade bottle in her hand: "Found it, I found it! It was found under the Third Miss's bed."
Yuan Fuling was overjoyed and quickly sent someone to fetch a doctor to examine her.
As expected, the result was a medication that could diagnose pregnancy.
"Song Yue, what else do you have to say?" Yuan Fuling questioned loudly.
Song Yue looked calmly at the Grand Madam: "Grandmother, do you remember what I just said?"
The old lady's face tightened, and she subconsciously looked at Yuan Fuling. Finding a bottle of medicine was nothing. She moved her lips, but in the end, it turned into a sigh.
"You wretched child, how dare you threaten your grandmother?" Duke Jingguo raised his hand to strike Song Yue, but Song Yue looked up with a sinister gaze, intimidating Duke Jingguo so much that he hesitated to bring his hand down. He swallowed hard, his hand awkwardly raised.
"Father, do you still remember how I exonerated you before the Emperor?" Song Yue's eyes were icy.
The Duke of Jingguo choked with anger, angrily lowering his fist and clutching his chest, looking utterly furious. Shen Ruyun stepped forward, saying, "Third Miss, this is your fault. How could you talk back to your elders in public? You've made so many mistakes; you should kneel down, kowtow, and beg for forgiveness."
"Forgive?" Song Yue scoffed. "Everyone knows that my mother is Princess Jiahua, with countless friends in the capital. I am my mother's only legitimate daughter and deeply loved by the Emperor. As for Song Yao, she is merely a concubine's daughter. Not to mention that everyone knows she is pregnant, have you all forgotten that Song Yao was carried ashore by Han Feng with her clothes disheveled, her clothes slipped off, and she was seen by everyone, losing all her innocence? Why would I harm someone like that?"
“…You!” Song Yao was so angry she almost vomited blood.
Song Yue raised an eyebrow: "We are worlds apart now. Have you considered the consequences of your framing and slander today?"
Faced with Song Yue's questioning, the Duke of Jingguo was momentarily dazed.
Madam Shen and Shen Ruyun looked at each other, unsure of what to say. Song Yue was not just the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Jingguo's mansion; she was also someone the Emperor valued.
But only for a moment.
Snap!
A slap landed hard on Song Yue's cheek.
Five handprints are clearly visible.
"Stop making excuses. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Emperor's favor. You made a mistake and you still think you're right?" Duke Jingguo slapped him.
Song Yue's mind was buzzing.
The Duke of Jingguo angrily said, "Guards, seize the Third Miss! She must be made clear today."
