She was startled and suddenly realized that Liu Yao'er must have a secret blood relationship with the Gao family. No wonder Madam Zuo and Consort Gao were so indignant on her behalf.
She quickly lowered her eyes, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Consort Gao standing in front of her.
Consort Gao lowered her head to scrutinize the hairpin, and immediately noticed the iridescent glass auspicious cloud pattern. Her previously cold expression suddenly turned furious. She had heard that the Emperor was seeing Hongyu every day outside the palace, and that Hongyu was on good terms with Chenyu. Could it be that the Emperor had bestowed the hairpin upon Hongyu?
Thinking of this, Consort Gao picked up the gold hairpin and pretended to examine it closely. "Oh my... this is a rare treasure! Where did Miss Chenyu find this treasure?"
Shen Yu was startled again. Consort Gao was jealous of Shen Yu's affections. Oh no, she was probably doomed today!
Sure enough, just as she was wondering how to reply, Consort Gao raised her hand and slapped her hard across the cheek. "You wretch! How dare you look down on me!"

Shen Yu felt a tearing pain in her face and couldn't help but scream. She tried to press her cheeks with her hands, but her hands were bound. At this moment, she felt a warm flow running down her cheeks. Looking down, she saw drops of blood dripping onto her long dress like beads from a broken string.

Although this woman's appearance is not as charming and alluring as Yao'er's, she is still dignified and beautiful. If some despicable means are not used, Yao'er will probably have a hard time becoming the general's wife.
"Guards! Mu Chenyu is so disrespectful and has slandered me, the imperial concubine. Slap her a hundred times as punishment!"
After speaking, Consort Gao forcefully pushed away Chen Yu's chin, took two steps back, and waited to watch the show.
Two old women walked briskly over; both were stout and had large hands. Consort Gao was about to slap Chen Yu's mouth shut!
