She cared little about the potential spread of rumors and the trouble it might bring to Qiao Xuan.
Princess Consort spoke coldly, "You understand perfectly well what I'm referring to. There are no outsiders here; they are all my confidants. There's no need for you to feign ignorance. You were taken—"
"Who abducted me? Princess Consort, enlighten me with the whole story! When did this supposed kidnapping occur?"
Once again, Princess Consort choked, her face fluctuating between red and white.
This time, she found herself speechless.
Could she admit that the Fourth Prince was behind the abduction? She didn't dare, lacking any evidence.
If news spread through her servants, the Fourth Prince would likely retaliate first.
Feeling the weight of Qiao Xuan's challenge, Princess Consort grew increasingly embarrassed and frustrated. "You know what happened!"
"I'm genuinely unsure, so Princess Consort, please enlighten me."
"You!"
