As expected, Lady Gao realized that Lady Su had been in contact with the concubine, which displeased Lady Fucha Mingyu.
"So, it turns out that Sister Su has not come to pay her respects all this time. She went to the concubine's place." I thought to myself that since Su is pregnant, I told her not to come to pay her respects every day and to just stay in the courtyard and rest. But she actually went to pay her respects to Ulanara Xueying.
Fearing that Fucha Mingyu would blame Su, Gao quickly explained, "Su has always been a soft-hearted person. Ulanara Xueying has been sending things to Su and always uses her status as a concubine to pressure Su, so Su dares not not get close to her."
Hearing Gao say this, my mood improved slightly.
“You said that Consort Su often uses her status to suppress Lady Su? If she dares to do that again, come and tell me, and I will definitely give Lady Su justice. Do you understand?” Mingyu said.
Gao thought this was a good opportunity to teach Ulanara Xueying a lesson, so that Su would have less contact with her in the future.
"Yes, I remember. The concubine always tried to curry favor with me and Sister Su, but we always refused. However, now that Sister Su is pregnant, we're afraid she might do something outrageous, so we dared not disobey." Although Madam Gao was angry that Madam Su disobeyed her and associated with Xueying, she still had feelings for Madam Su and didn't want her to leave a bad impression on Mingyu. After all, Fucha Mingyu was the highest-ranking person in the household besides the Prince, and she was still favored by him.
"Oh? Tell me then, how has the concubine been trying to curry favor with you?" Although Fucha Mingyu had always regarded Xueying as a thorn in her side, she truly did not believe that she would be the kind of person to fawn over the Gao family.
“She would often send things to me and Su Shi, and also…” Gao Shi paused and glanced at Fucha Mingyu, “and also what?” The more she said this, the more curious Fucha Mingyu became.
"They will also... speak ill of you in front of us, so that we will rebel against you together!" Gao was desperate. She wanted to make Ulanara Xueying feel the embarrassment of having nowhere to go. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have needed to come to Fucha Mingyu. It was all her own fault.
"Is this really true? I've always considered Xueying my best friend, but I never expected her to treat me like this. So, are you on Xueying's side or mine?" Mingyu now wanted Gao Shi to clarify her position.
Best friends?
Everyone in the manor knew that after the Prince favored his concubine that time, he never went to see her again because of Fucha Mingyu.
As Madam Gao looked at Fucha Mingyu, she thought to herself, but smiled and said, "Of course I'm on your side, Furong. Everyone knows that the Prince only loves you in the mansion. The concubine only married into the family because of her father."
Seeing that Lady Gao was quite perceptive, Fucha Mingyu felt a greater liking for her.
“Sister, I hope that only the two of us know about today’s conversation, and... never forget which side you’re on,” Mingyu said.
Madam Gao now regretted coming here. "Yes, I won't tell anyone what I said today, Your Highness. Don't worry! Isn't it obvious which side I'm on now?"
The two talked for a while longer, then Fucha Mingyu said she was a little tired, so Gao took her leave.
