Chapitre 14: Chapter 14: Disciplining the Concubine of Master 3

The result... Yi Xiangnong's entire delicate face almost changed colors, one moment it was green, the next it was blue. Her eyes were blazing with anger, and she wished she could spit out the tea she drank into her stomach immediately. However, could she just spit out the water she drank? It would look exceptionally unsightly if she did. "Are you not feeling well? Why do you look so terrible?" Qu Tan'er slightly raised her head, looking at Yi Xiangnong with a face full of concern. The timing was just right; as she slightly lifted her head, she caught sight of Yi Xiangnong's changing expression. "Sister, you must be joking. Isn't this tea freshly brewed?" No wonder the tea was cold. "No." Qu Tan'er shook her head with a faint smile, embodying a bit of a demon's essence. She knew a pot of overnight tea itself wasn't particularly harmful, but if a pampered woman were to drink it, it wouldn't just be a matter of whether it was harmful or not; it would be whether it was gross or not. Someone came to give her trouble, so she had to give it back. Yi Xiangnong's delicate face twisted with anger, and her hands clenched tightly. "Are you really feeling unwell? Should I ask Jing Xin to bring the doctor to take a look at you?" Qu Tan'er looked at her with a face full of concern, adding a few more words of concern for good measure. Suddenly, Yi Xiangnong's expression changed again. She suppressed her anger and spoke with a particularly charming smile, saying softly, "There's no need, Xiangnong thanks sister for the concern. Xiangnong came today not only to greet sister but also to thank sister. If it weren't for Princess Consort sister not keeping the Prince last night, he wouldn't have come to my room, keeping me up all night without proper sleep, really exhausted to death." Whether it was true or false, Yi Xiangnong aimed to anger Qu Tan'er. Unfortunately, Qu Tan'er responded with a graceful smile, pretending not to hear the provocation in Yi Xiangnong's words. She said with relief, "Hearing you say this, I feel much better. I thought you might blame me just now." Ever since she first stepped into the Eighth Prince Manor, she had heard of the two tigresses here with very sharp claws. "Then Xiangnong will go back now, so as not to disturb sister." Yi Xiangnong stood up from her seat with a cold face, flicked her sleeve, turned around furiously, and didn't even want to flick Qu Tan'er one more time. "Come back for a cup of tea when you have time." Qu Tan'er smiled slightly, waved her hand behind Yi Xiangnong's back, and sent her off kindly. "Master, why do you want to make enemies?" Jing Xin lightly exhaled, and once she was sure Yi Xiangnong couldn't hear their conversation anymore, she finally asked. "Have you ever seen a legitimate wife get along harmoniously with other concubines? Besides, didn't you see her attitude? Clearly, she came to show off and trouble me. Of course, this trouble didn't really reach me. After all, I don't have genuine feelings for Mo Liancheng, otherwise, wouldn't another woman be pissed off to death?" Such dramas, she'd seen so many on TV, they were so familiar and had long been overdone. Compete with Qu Tan'er? The problem was, she had no mood to bother with her. "So, Master tricked her into thinking the cup of tea was from yesterday?" Jing Xin finally understood. "Oh, you actually got this wrong. The tea was indeed left in the side hall last night on my special order by Yuela. It's just that her luck was particularly bad." "..." Jing Xin was speechless. "Jing Xin, shouldn't you praise me for being so clever? To even think of this?"
