Combined with Ouyang Linna's malicious slander, after some embellishment, Qu Tong was portrayed as an indifferent, vicious-minded woman, utterly unfit to be a Princess Consort.
Lan Weiying had always been careful to maintain her image as a cold and unapproachable beauty, naturally she wouldn't say anything, but sometimes silence sends a louder message than words.
Qu Tong caught every word Ouyang Linna said, her lips curling into a slight smirk.
