After listening to Wang Muxue's story, Ye Xiaoxiao, Qin Xue and Li Jingjing were a little bit unbelievable.
"How dare your stepmother be so bold? You are the daughter of the prime minister, how dare she?"
Wang Muxue sighed, Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at her dress, and then said.
"Xiaoxue, take Miss Wang to the side hall to change clothes, so that people won't say anything unpleasant about you later."
Wang Muxue did not refuse. After thanking Ye Xiaoxiao, she followed Qin Xue.
Soon, she changed her clothes and appeared in front of everyone.
"Okay, the palace banquet will begin soon. Please take your seats first. We will talk later."
Everyone nodded and went back to their respective homes. As soon as Wang Muxue arrived at the Wang family and sat down, she was met with surprised eyes from Mrs. Wang and Wang Muyu.
She snorted coldly and ignored the mother and daughter. In order to maintain her image as a good mother, Mrs. Wang didn't say much.
Ye Xiaoxiao came to the queen's side. Seeing that most people had arrived, the queen announced the official start of the banquet.
Two maids appeared beside her and Ye Xiaoxiao holding two children, and the queen once again solemnly introduced the identities of the three people to everyone.
"No matter how many rumors there were in the past, they are all exposed today."
"However, after today, I hope that you will be careful with your words and actions. If I hear any rumors slandering the Crown Princess again, I will not forgive them."
After the queen finished speaking, she swept her majestic gaze over the entire audience, and everyone responded respectfully.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't care much, but she still accepted the Queen's kindness.
"Well, today is a family dinner, everyone, please don't be restrained. There are refreshments prepared in the Imperial Garden. If you like, you can stroll around at will."
After the queen finished speaking, she exchanged a few words with everyone, then left with the nanny and the child.
After the queen left, many concubines who had seen their families also left with their relatives.
The child was taken away by the Queen and her friends. Ye Xiaoxiao had nothing to do, so she took Qin Xue and her friends to visit the garden.
Wang Muxue and her daughter, Madam Wang, were summoned by Concubine Jing to her Jingling Palace.
Concubine Jing waved her hand, motioning Wang Muxue to sit next to her.
Wang Muxue rarely smiled and slowly walked up to Concubine Jing.
"Aunt, Mu Xue misses you so much."
Wang Muxue's eyes were a little red, and when Concubine Jing saw it, she knew that she had been wronged again recently.
"Mu Xue, I see that you didn't come to the palace with your stepmother today, but what delayed you?"
Wang Muxue looked at Madam Wang without saying anything, and Concubine Jing looked at Madam Wang with a faint smile.
"Sister-in-law, I've heard that you treat Mu Xue well. I wonder why you didn't come with Mu Xue today?"
Mrs. Wang cursed in her heart, but did not show it on her face. Her eyes rolled and she immediately said with grievance.
"Your Majesty, you also know that Mu Xue has had a wild temper since she was a child. As a concubine, it is not appropriate for me to control her too much."
"I told Mu Xue about today's palace banquet early yesterday."
"But, early in the morning, when we were all dressed up and waiting for her, we discovered that she was gone."
"I ordered the servants to search for her for a long time but couldn't find her. In order not to delay the palace banquet, I had no choice but to take Mu Yu to the palace first."
Concubine Jing sneered, and Wang Muyu was a little dissatisfied.
"Aunt, my sister has always been wild, and she has become even wilder recently."
Concubine Jing frowned, but Wang Muyu was still unaware of it and continued to speak ill of Wang Muxue.
Concubine Jing sneered in her heart and coaxed Wang Muyu.
"Oh? Really? As a lady from a noble family, you must pay more attention to these etiquette rules."
"Why don't you tell me what Mu Xue did that was too much?"
Wang Muyu told the story of Wang Muxue as the shopkeeper of Yaoguang Pavilion and Ye Chang's affairs.
"Aunt, my sister is the daughter of the Prime Minister's family. How can she be so disrespectful as to date a man without permission? How can this bring shame to the Prime Minister's family?"
"Mother is a stepmother, so it's not appropriate to say much. Aunt loves my sister the most, so she should be trying to persuade her more."
Concubine Jing was still smiling. "Oh? So, you are teaching me how to do things?"
Concubine Jing's tone suddenly turned cold, and Mrs. Wang was startled.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Mu Yu was also worried about Mu Xue. The child spoke rudely. I hope Your Majesty will not take it to heart."
Concubine Jing looked at the mother and daughter with disdain, and then teased them.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything to you, but Mu Yu is not young anymore, you should discipline her properly."
"It's only because you met me today. If anyone else heard about it, I'm afraid the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion would be completely lost."
"This is still a small matter. The real worry is that she doesn't even know when she offended anyone."
Mrs. Wang was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She nodded repeatedly and then glared at Wang Muyu.
Wang Muyu felt aggrieved, snorted coldly, and ran out.
Concubine Jing looked unhappy. Mrs. Wang apologized hastily, but Concubine Jing didn't want to pay attention to her.
"Alright, don't worry about what I said. Don't add trouble to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Go and take a look. Don't let anything else happen."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately took her leave. After the annoying people left, Concubine Jing looked at Wang Muxue with pity.
"Girl, come and tell your aunt if you've been bullied by them again."
With red eyes, Wang Muxue briefly recounted how she was locked up by Madam Wang.
Then she talked about Ye Xiaoxiao taking her to change clothes and what happened to her in Yaoguang Pavilion.
Concubine Jing listened quietly and waited for a long time, but Wang Muxue did not mention Ye Chang.
"You kid, why don't you tell your aunt about the affairs of the third young master of the Ye family?"
Wang Muxue's pretty face turned slightly red, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. Concubine Jing understood what she was thinking at a glance.
