Core Purpose

At this time, the New Year's bell rang. Madam Xie, who was sitting on the bed, adjusted her clothes. She was no longer depressed like before and had become more dignified, as if she was not the one who had argued with Madam Di and was angered to the point of turning purple by Madam Xiao.

This was the demeanor of a wealthy family. No matter what, they had to protect their face. Even if their teeth were broken, they had to protect their face. If their face was gone, then there would be nothing left.

From that day onwards, Madame Xie did not stand up again.

Xiao Qinghan and Yi Qing had only attended the palace banquet on New Year's Eve. After that, the palace banquet had been pushed away, and the emperor and empress had stopped insisting. They now understood that as long as Yi Qing came, she would definitely cause some trouble.
