Bab 490: Empty Threat

Madam Qu's face turned ashen when she heard what Nan Shu Cheng said. "Shu Cheng, didn't you promise that you will stay with me tonight?"

"Not now." Nan Shu Cheng felt irritated and waved his hand. He walked away amidst the call from Madam Qu.

Nan Hou Xiang grabbed his mother's hand. He had to stop his mother before she was put in the worse position in the battle with the other concubines. Everyone were waiting for Madam Qu to fall from grace, so she had to conduct herself properly.

"Are you that worried, Madam Qu?" Concubine Mei asked with a smile. "It's just one night. He spent more than half a month in your place."

Madam Qu turned her head and looked at her longtime nemesis. She grunted. "It's not your business."

Concubine Mei chuckled but said nothing more. She knew that provoking Madam Qu was pleasant, but she had to be careful because the one who controlled the harem was this woman before her. She stood up.
