Looking at Madam Qian's response, Qian Jiujiu could not help but have a hunch that something might have happened to the mother of the initial owner.

Otherwise, why would she disallow me to pay a visit? She could not let it be since she had occupied the body of the original owner, so she should take responsibility for her mother as well.

Moreover, she had something very important to discuss with her mother. Not allowing me to meet her? This will not do.

As Madam Qian listened to Qian Jiujiu's voice, she felt a little unpleasant but she still faked a smiley expression on her face. "My dear daughter, you're now the noble Princess Consort."

"You don't have to take these people seriously. It's okay to not meet them. You only have to know that your mother is doing well. That's good enough, isn't it?"

Upon hearing that, Qian Jiujiu snorted. Before she could say something, Madam Qian continued, "Besides, Concubine Wan is not feeling well recently, so it may not be convenient for you to meet her."

"Jiujiu, if you want your mother to stay well, you'd better be obedient."

"Looking at your expression when you first stepped in, I thought you don't care about your mother already. Since you still care for her, then we can talk it over."

Seeing that Madam Qian had altered the expression on her face, Qian Jiujiu could not help but feel funny about it. It seems like they have already planned to give me the identity of the daughter of the first wife since the beginning.

They intentionally show their weakness so that I would think that I have the upper hand and finally reveal my real intention of returning home.

Now that I have mentioned it myself, they thought they can grab hold of my shortcomings and use it to threaten me.

Thinking up to this point, Qian Jiujiu could not help from clicking her tongue. "As the saying goes, old ginger is still spicier than young ginger. Madam Qian is indeed bravo!"

"So you all plan to put aside all considerations and use my mother to threaten me?"

Madam Qian looked at Qian Jiujiu with a smile. "It's inappropriate for you to say so. We are all family members. There's no such thing as threatening! Furthermore, we actually wanted to find out something from you."

"Tell us all that has happened in Xiao Manor. If not, we don't know what will happen to your mother."

Qian Jiujiu pursed her lips. "Are you treating me as a fool? If I told you everything, what can I use in exchange? I can tell you if you want to know it but you have to let me meet my mother first."

"If not, I am a barefooted person who is not afraid of those who are wearing shoes. In fact, His Highness treats me pretty well these few days, if I bring His Highness along with me to come to fetch my mother, what do you think will eventually happen?"

Madam Qian let out a smirk. "Who do you think you are? Are you sure you're able summon His Highness?"

"Seems like you don't trust me. Do you know who the two people that tagged along with me are today? One of them is Dong Chen, Lord Xiao's personal bodyguard."

Madam Qian hesitated for a moment. If that's the case, then Qian Jiujiu is indeed favored by Lord Xiao?

Would Lord Xiao spare a glance at someone with her look? Qian Jiujiu observed Madam Qian looking down upon her coupled with her disdainful stare at her. She could not help but let out a cough.
