Hu Jin trembled, feeling a little guilty, but she still immediately rebuked him angrily.
"Jin Shu, you must have some incredible abilities. How could you possibly know what's going on in our manor? You must be talking nonsense and pretending to be crazy!"
We don't welcome people like you here!
"What's the rush? Are you afraid I'll expose your secret? Sigh... What will you do if people find out about this? I'm worried sick just thinking about it."
"Shut up!! What the hell are you doing?! What did I do?! If you dare to spout nonsense, I'll make you pay!"
Jin Shu sighed and shook her head. The hearts of the ladies from the noble families beside her trembled. The eagerness in their eyes was like that of jackals on the grasslands who had smelled the blood of their prey.
The ladies nearby, always eager for a good show, joined in the commotion.
"Yes, don't talk nonsense. Our Consort Liang is upright and has nothing to fear. If you say there's something to it, then there's something to it. If you have the guts, then say it! If you can't say it, even if Consort Liang doesn't care, we won't let you off the hook!"
Jin Shu glanced at Hu Jin, then her face showed apprehension.
"Never mind, never mind, I was just talking nonsense, I was just talking nonsense, please don't hold it against me, Princess Consort."
"Oh, just say what you want to say. What kind of shameful secret could our Princess Consort possibly have?"
There are always people of equal power joining in the commotion and watching the spectacle.
Jin Shu waved her hand and slowly stood up.
"Hey, just take this as a joke, everyone. Keep chatting, I'll find another place to sit."
After saying that, Jin Shu turned around and left with her three sons, leaving several ladies from prominent families staring at Madam Liang and Hu Jin with different expressions and strange looks.
Madam Liang sneered repeatedly.
"Hehehe... You don't actually believe her nonsense, do you? My son is virtuous and well-read, how could he possibly have a relationship with that kind of woman!"
The others chuckled in agreement, their expressions revealing that they didn't believe Madam Liang's sophistry at all.
Regardless, Young Master Liang's reputation is now completely ruined.
Just as flustered as Madam Liang was Aunt Hu.
Although Jin Shu didn't say anything, everyone's gaze towards her had completely changed.
She herself was also uneasy, and tried her best to maintain a calm and angry expression, but no one knew that she was actually more panicked than Madam Liang.
"Princess Consort, don't stoop to her level. We have nothing to hide, so we have nothing to fear! If she dares to spout nonsense, we will definitely stand by your side and deal with her!"
Hu Jin smiled and nodded haphazardly, agreeing with him.
"That's for sure! Jin Shu must be crazy! Yes, she must have been driven mad by all the mess in the Duke's mansion!"
No matter what she said, a seed of doubt had already been planted in everyone's hearts.
Compared to Liang Gongzi's matter, they were more curious about Hu Jin's affairs.
What exactly does Jin Shu know?
This question wasn't just on others' minds; even Hu Jin herself was secretly wondering about it.
What does she know? What could a woman from the inner palace possibly know?
Does she really know about the things she did with other men?
A cold sweat broke out on Hu Jin's back in an instant.
No, no, I did it so discreetly that no one in the entire palace knew. How could Jin Shu possibly know?
She must be bluffing! She's doing this to deliberately throw herself off balance so she can have an easier time at the banquet.
Yes, that must be it.
Hu Jin reassured herself, becoming even more determined, and her gaze towards Jin Shu sitting opposite her turned cold and ruthless.
