Consort Yi said stiffly, "Thank you for your kindness, Noble Lady Chun, but I no longer like Furongyu."
Wang Shu watched Yi Pin's expression change, laughing inwardly but showing a regretful look on her face: "Such a beautiful hibiscus jade, it's a pity that Consort Yi doesn't like it."
Her words made the atmosphere in the hall even more amusing.
