Qu Tan'er really didn't want to bother Shi Xue. Besides, did the old Qu woman dare to harm her? Times had changed, hadn't they? But still, a feeling of unease rose within her. Not letting Shi Xue follow might have a reason behind it. Suddenly thinking of something, she said, "Shi Xue, don't tell the Prince that I've left the manor."
"Princess Consort! This..."
"Do as I said." Qu Tan'er glanced at Shi Xue, then headed straight towards the main entrance. Rushing out, she didn't bring anything with her, leaving the Eighth Prince Manor and heading straight back to the Qu Manor. Although Jing Xin hadn't explicitly said what it was, from her expression, Qu Tan'er could somewhat guess the gist of it.
Upon entering the Qu Manor, from afar, she could hear the cursing voices coming from the main courtyard house.
"Slap!"
The Madam's hand came down with a sharp sound.
The person who was slapped staggered towards the corner of the desk, creating another noise.
