章 573: Chapter 584: You are a Concubine Too

The maid beside her tried to comfort her, "The Second Young Master is being so proactive for your sake, Madam. Once she recovers from her illness, she will leave the Jie Residence. This is her chance to get new medicine."

"I'm afraid she'll change her mind," said Concubine Du.

The maid responded, "If she dares to deceive the Second Young Master, would he let her off easily?"

While they were talking, another maid came to report that the gatekeeper had announced the arrival of Madam Ru, consort to Prince Five, who was waiting in the parlor.

Concubine Du stood up in shock and said, "What? Madam Ru?"

The common folk had two extremely different stories about who Madam Ru was.

One said that she feared death and betrayed her husband and son, then threw herself into Prince Five's arms to continue enjoying wealth and splendor.

Another commended her for sacrificing her own family for the greater good, seeing her as a hero who helped quell a rebellion.
