“Insolent!” A maid beside the woman barked at her. “Rui Wang’s second consort is right in front of you. How could you not pay respect to Her Highness?!”

“A few days ago, Wangye had said that sharing a roof with a woman doesn’t make her his wife...” Bai Yu revealed a smile. She lifted her hand and delicately touched accessories in her hair, acting as if she was pushing it in place. “Benxiaojie’s understanding should be correct.”

“Miss must have misheard,” the second consort spoke for the first time.

“Whether benxiaojie misheard or not does not change that benxiaojie has no business with women in this palace.”
