Gu Jinli ignored Mrs. Tang Yang and turned to Ms. Xiao Ji, saying, "Ms. Xiao Ji, are you trying to overthrow everything, thinking that without Mrs. Jin in the Northwest, you can secretly manipulate things to become Mrs. Jin? Do you really believe becoming the official wife is so easily done?"
Mrs. Kuang also became angry, pointing at Ms. Xiao Ji and scolding, "I've long seen you're no good. You dare to scheme to push the official wife aside, a prostitute who became a concubine by stealing a man now wants to be an official wife — dream on!"
She then pointed at Mr. and Mrs. Tang Yang, scolding, "And you two, what are you thinking? As real kin to Company Commander Jin, able to dine with Mr. Jin and Mrs. Jin, how could you elevate a concubine? Is your family lacking ancestors? Even if Ms. Xiao Ji is favored, she is still just a concubine. Can she really become a phoenix?"
