"I wonder what brings the Regent King's Consort to this place?" Mrs. Qin, wife of the Grand Commandant, spoke rather rudely, as if she was dissatisfied with her presence.
This was expected, as her daughter was a concubine under the Regent King's Consort, and Mrs. Qin's dissatisfaction was justifiable.
As if she didn't hear the tone, she just smiled and said, "Madam Qin, you're too kind. I had some free time today and thought I'd come to visit you."
Mrs. Qin's expression visibly stiffened, and then she seemed to force a laugh.
In terms of status, Mrs. Qin was lower, so although she was unhappy with her, she didn't dare to be too rude.
Eventually, she stepped aside to let her pass and extended a forced invitation with a fake smile, "Please, Regent King's Consort."
She nodded slightly in response, and then proceeded with her two maids.
