Compared to Madam Gao, whose thoughts were in complete disarray, the woman next to her was much calmer.
"There's nothing to be afraid of even if she had overheard us. We didn't say anything wrong."
Despite that, Madam Gao was still worried.
Lin Qingyao was the daughter of Minister Lin, after all, and she was the Empress' best friend.
Many wives and daughters from renowned families in the imperial capital were brawling with each other to get close to her.
This was also why Madam Gao had extended an invitation to her for the Flower Admiring Banquet.
However, Madam Gao had not expected things to end this way.
Madam Gao regretted how it turned out.
Lin Qingyuan headed straight for the Palace after she left the Gao Family's holiday home.
She had witnessed a good show today and simply had to share it with Lu Liangwei.
