Princess Consort Zhuang left with a dark expression. Song Yunzhao's complete refusal to yield had taken her by surprise, and she was even more shocked that Yunzhao would be so protective of that Xie Linlang. They called her a relative, but she was just a niece from Yunzhao's second aunt's side of the family, barely a cousin.
She never expected Song Yunzhao to be so protective of her!
Princess Consort Zhuang was vexed. Had she known, she would have softened her tone. But it was likely too late to smooth things over now, so she would have to think of another way.
After Princess Consort Zhuang left, Song Yunzhao was seething. It took her a long while to suppress her fury.
She knew society had a strict class hierarchy and a severe chain of contempt. But seeing how Princess Consort Zhuang treated Xie Linlang as someone to be trampled on at will made her anger soar. Yet, there was nothing she could do about it.
