Concubine Wan nodded earnestly. "Little Jiu, you can rest assured. Mother initially thought that you would not come out alive after marrying Lord Xiao. Hence, I didn't take action."

"Now that I have you as my gleam of hope, besides the fact that I have consumed the poison healing pills, I will be fine. I'll wait for you to come back."

Even though Qian Jiujiu felt the urge to threaten Minister Qian so that he could write a divorce letter and she could take her mother with her.

However, as she pondered it over, it was not realistic. It was better for her to hold on for now as her mother's health was not in good condition yet.

She cast a glance at Concubine Wan as she fetched out a ceramic bottle. "Mother, there are also poison healing pills inside for you. Wait for me."

After leaving Concubine Wan's residence, Qian Jiujiu was preparing to return to Xiao Manor. After all, she had achieved her aim of coming today so there was no need for her to stay any longer.

At this point, Hong Ling realized that the princess consort had disappeared. She started to take concern as she recalled that Princess Consort was often being bullied here.

"Old Madam, if anything were to happen to Princess Consort, can you afford to pay the price?"

Just as Qian Jiujiu walked toward the entrance of Heshou hall, the voice of the arrogant Hong Ling resounded in the air. She instantly blinked her eyes. Should I enter slightly later?

Old Madam Qian had never been disdained by a servant before after being alive until this age. As such, she was filled with fury in her heart.

However, this servant was from the Xiao Manor, hence she could not do anything in particular to her. All she could do was to reprimand Qian Jiujiu secretly as she cast a look at Madam Qian.

"What are you waiting for? Quickly summon someone to call for Princess Consort. Otherwise, others will perceive that the Qian family has devoured Princess Consort!"

Upon hearing that, Qian Jiujiu walked in with a smile plastered on her face. "It seems like Old Madam Qian has the desire to devour Princess Consort but you need to make sure that you have the ability to swallow me. Beware of chipped teeth for having such a huge appetite."

This statement infuriated Old Madam to a certain extent. At this moment, Minister Qian walked in. "What did you just say? Quickly kneel down to apologize to your great-grandmother."

Kneel down to apologize? Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes. You want me to kneel before this old tigress? Dream on! She gave Minister Qian a glare before saying, "Are you sure you want Princess Consort to fall to her knees?"

Listening to Qian Jiujiu addressed herself, Princess Consort repeatedly, the people in the Qian family felt triggered. At this instant, the Third Prince was looking daggers at Qian Jiujiu out of curiosity.

Once again, he felt as though the Qian Jiujiu before him was different from before, thus, he could not help voicing out.

"Sixth sister-in-law, even if you have married to the Royal family, regardless of anything, Old Madam is still your great-grandmother. Your impolite manner of utterances seems rather inappropriate and unfilial."

Qian Jiujiu directed her gaze at the Third Prince as she raised a corner of her lips. "Who is this?"

Hong Ling understood the meaning immediately, therefore she brilliantly stood out and made an introduction. "In reply to Princess Consort, this is the Third Prince."
