The First Madam watched Mrs. Cai's expression, and the corner of her mouth twitched. She had already heard from her daughter what had happened during the imperial selection. When Song Qinghan returned to the manor, she tried to twist the truth, but this time, the First Madam didn't tell Ye Xi to keep her mouth shut. Instead, she had her spill everything Song Qinghan had done in the palace.
As a result, Song Qinghan was utterly disgraced. The Third Young Master was furious and locked her in the ancestral hall to reflect on her actions.
The Song Family was thrown into a major uproar. The First Madam knew Ye Xi and Yun Zhao were on good terms, which put her mind at ease. Naturally, she intended to help Yun Zhao establish her authority within the family.
The fact that Song Qinghan was expelled from the palace couldn't be widely publicized, but it was impossible to suppress the news. Fortunately, the family had Yun Zhao, who had been appointed a Noble Consort.
