The Princess Concubine was surprised. She was aware that the Princess Consort was planning something. She knew this woman well.
She had always thought that the Princess Consort was a very traditional woman, so she never expected that she would do something beyond convention. The Princess Concubine, though surprised, smiled.
"Nothing." The Princess Consort regained her steadiness, showing no expression on her face.
"Okay then." The Princess Concubine answered, then started to serve herself tea.
They sat and exchanged no words. On this occasion, the Princess Consort did not drive her away.
In the following days, it was very quiet at Lord Ling's Mansion.
Since Gu Ruxue was the Equal Princess Consort, she did not have to greet the Princess Consort. So Zhou Huailing asked her to stay in her own yard, otherwise he would become totally messy having to deal with what happened in his backyard.
