Qian Jiujiu looked at Noble Consort Qing uneasily, before lowering her head again.

Meanwhile, Consort xian kept monitoring her.
"Hmph, Qian Jiujiu! If I were you, I will admit to the crime. Otherwise, you'll drag the entire Qian family down with you!"

Hearing that, Qian Jiujiu wore a smile on her face. She suddenly remembered that Mu Yexiao said that the Qian mother and daughter would visit the palace today.

She knew that they would not expose her. Otherwise, the Qian family would be destroyed and Qian Yuge would be done for.

She thought to herself, wondering if Consort Xian was truly foolish. She stifled the urge to roll her eyes and looked at Consort Xian.

"Consort Xian, why are you mad at me?"

"Why must you push to the brink of death? My parents are not here yet, but you kept asking me to admit to my crimes. Luckily, the Empress and imperial mother are here."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid that I'll be harmed. Is it because you are certain that you can't receive the cosmetic products form me?"

"First, you suspect that I didn't make them myself, so that you can steal the formulation. Now, you accuse me that I'm not a legitimate child and even slander the Qian family of lying to the imperial family."

"I really don't understand how I annoyed you. Was it because the Third Prince was rejected by the Qian family's daughter, so you're slandering me?"

The Empress was taken aback. "Oh, did that happened? Why do I not know about it?"

This incident truly occurred, she was not lying. However, Mu Yexiao was not injured then, so Minister Qian was very indecisive.

He did not agree to the Third Prince, but coincidentally, the Emperor ordered Qian Yuge to be married to Mu Yexiao.

The other consorts grew doubtful. Is she trying to eliminate them because they fail to ask her hand in marriage?

Consort Xian noticed their doubtful gaze, and instantly fumed angrily. "Tsk, even if my son proposes, it's not you! It's the true daughter of the Qian family, is that you?"

"Can you swear that you're a legitimate daughter of the Qian family? How shameful! You're just an illegitimate child, yet you tried to slander me!"
"You're the one that should shut up, Consort Xian. Stop trying to besmirch my daughter-in-law!"

Noble Consort Qing had been quiet for some time. When she suddenly exploded in anger, Consort Xian jumped in astonishment.
Consort Xian said, "Why, do you feel guilty? Don't you want to ascertain if she's the Qian family's illegitimate daughter?"

Noble Consort Qing sneered, "Didn't I ask them to invite Minister Qian over. I also called for the Emperor. When they arrived, the truth will be revealed."

"But, you're still bullying my daughter-in-law like this, it's very disgraceful. Even if you're fine with it, it's an eyesore for me!"

Consort Xian's expression stiffened. This was true. After all, she was an elder of Qian Jiujiu, so it was unpleasant for her to be so adamant with her.

Consort Xian had an epiphany and fell silent after grunted in reply, waiting for the servants and eunuchs to return.

Since the Qian family's mother and daughter were already in the palace, they swiftly arrived. When they entered, Consort Xian looked at them with anticipation.

As Qian Jiujiu stared at them, Madam Qian instantly fell onto her knees. "My daughter and I offer our greetings to Noble Consort Qing, Consort Xian, and Consort Yun."
