In the end, Xue Ru still boarded Xiao Junhao's carriage, but upon seeing Lin Mengyao sitting inside, a look of displeasure filled her eyes.
"Is she the prince's servant? Why does she seem so lacking in manners?"
Lin Mengyao's attire had always been rather modest. Coupled with her sleepless night, she appeared rather haggard today.
Additionally, she did not wear any jewelry today. Upon seeing her, Xue Ru's first impression was that of a servant.
Both Xiao Junhao and Lin Mengyao were unpleasant upon hearing this.
Had it not been for Xue Ru's sincere expression, she might have suspected it was said on purpose.
"This is Yao Er, my side consort who hasn't officially entered the household yet."
"Side consort? Isn't that just another word for a concubine?"
Xiao Junhao was speechless.
Lin Mengyao was speechless as well.
Technically, side consort was indeed a concubine. But who would dare look down upon a royal concubine?
