It was the first time that Concubine Shen saw Su Xin calling her so confidently.

The corners of his lips could not help but twitch, and he said, "What? Why are you calling me noble? You didn't say anything when I asked you just now, so I thought you were dumb!"

Su Xin opened her mouth and said, "You!"

At this time, Su Xin's maid Xiaolan quickly pulled Su Xin and whispered in Su Xin's ear, "My lady, don't be impulsive..."

Facing the two people who were full of hostility, Xu Yinshang and his servant really watched a good show.

"What's wrong with me? Speak? Why don't you dare to speak?" Seeing Su Xin hesitate to speak, Shen Guiren took advantage of the situation and pressed on.

Xiaolan was worried that her mistress would lose her temper and mess things up, so she kept pulling at Suxin's clothes and whispered, "Mistress... calm down, mistress..."

"Noble Lady Shen, don't go too far!" Su Xin said gritting her teeth, staring at Noble Lady Shen.

Seeing Su Xin staring at her blankly, Concubine Shen sneered, "Concubine Xiang just died, and you hooked up with Concubine Xu right after. You must have been born a maid to know how to please everyone~"

Xu Yinshang seemed to have heard some big news. She opened her mouth in shock and asked, "So this official girl was... a maid?"

"What do you think, Concubine Xu? Does she look like a lady from a famous family?" Concubine Shen asked with a raised eyebrow.

After hearing this, Xu Yinshang looked disgusted and said, "Ah... no wonder you look so poor!"

Su Xin's face turned pale with anger. She had just tried her best to please Concubine Xu, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, she would say this about her. After all, her background as a maid had always been a pain in her heart.

Su Xin sneered, "Oh, Lady Shen, I have something to ask you!"

Concubine Shen sneered and said, "Ask me? What questions do you have to ask me?"

"I wonder if Lady Shen slept well last night on New Year's Eve?" This time, Su Xin ignored Xiaolan's advice and spoke directly and frankly.

After hearing this, Concubine Shen's expression immediately turned from sunny to cloudy. Her face, which had just been full of laughter and tears, suddenly turned pale...

Shen Guiren suddenly thought of it! When I came out of the boat last night, I did remember hearing a strange noise, but because of the barking of dogs and the sound of rolling in the grass later, I thought it was a dog, lying there.

It was already night and curfew was about to begin in the palace. She and Prince Anling were both anxious to leave quickly, so they did not go into the dark place to investigate further.

Judging from Su Xin's tone, she knew what happened last night. She must be the dog last night! Shen Guiren didn't know when Su Xin appeared there, nor did she know whether Su Xin heard the treasonous conversation between the two of them.

"Very...very good..." Shen Guiren said while pretending to be calm.

But her two hands were tightly clasped together, and it can be seen that Shen Guiren was actually very nervous.

Seeing Concubine Shen's flustered look, Su Xin finally steeled herself and said, "That's good. So, Concubine Shen, is there anything else you want to teach me?"

"Of course not. I just couldn't stand seeing Concubine Xu asking you, a girl from the Yin official, to serve her even though we are both concubines of the emperor!" Concubine Shen suddenly changed the subject and directed her criticism at Concubine Xu.

After hearing this, Su Xin said unhappily, "Who lets him be a nobleman and I am a government official?"

Concubine Shen looked Concubine Xu over and said, "That's true, but it's against the rules. If the emperor hears about it, he'll probably think Concubine Xu is spoiled because of her favor!"

Concubine Xu had just entered the palace, and she never expected that the two people who were so hostile to each other just now would now be facing her at the same time!

“My concubine…my concubine…” Concubine Xu was speechless for a moment and couldn’t say anything.

Lady Shen took the opportunity to say, "Sister Xu, why don't you apologize to the official girl and let this matter go! It's better than making a big fuss and making the emperor angry. We are all old people in the palace and it doesn't matter. Sister, you have just entered the palace. If you leave a bad impression on the emperor, that will be bad~"

Xu Yinshang was successfully frightened by Concubine Shen's remarks, and quickly said to Su Xin, "Good sister, it's all my fault. Please don't hold it against me..."

Su Xin, who had just been being humble beside Concubine Xu, felt extremely happy when she saw Xu Yinshang looking embarrassed and trying to please her!

Seeing that Su Xin didn't say anything, Xu Yinshang couldn't help but ask, "Is it okay, sister?"
