Wasn't intentional? Just loosened her teeth?

These words sounded like she was pleading for Gao Minyue, but in reality, she was telling others that Gao Minyue was petty, while Qiu Shiyi Niang was tolerant and generous, not even holding it against her for being injured for no reason.

As expected of a Qiu family woman, her white lotus tactics were exactly the same.

Next, I suppose her relentless nanny will make her appearance?

Yu Qingwu sneered inwardly, raising her eyes to glance at the middle-aged woman beside Qiu Shiyi Niang.

Sure enough, before Xie Jin Yan could reply, the woman also leaned in, crying with an indignant look, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, our girl didn't mean to either. After learning the truth, she immediately apologized to Miss Gao, but who would have thought that Miss Gao would be so unrelenting and hurt our girl like this?"

As she spoke, she walked in front of Qiu Shiyi Niang and gently lifted Qiu Shiyi Niang's red and swollen face.

It was bright red, and faintly, there was blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. It really looked serious...

However... After talking for so long, neither the mistress nor the servant ever mentioned how they had offended Gao Minyue, only crying and pleading for sympathy.

Seeing this, how could Gao Minyue endure it?

"You... you mistress and servant, a pair of bitches! You really know how to put on an act!"

Gao Minyue gritted her teeth, her delicate baby face contorted with anger. While cursing, she wanted to attack Qiu Shiyi Niang again.

Seeing this, Qiu Shiyi Niang immediately cried out sweetly, "Help!" and hurriedly tried to hide behind Xie Jin Yan.

However, as soon as she rushed forward, she was stopped by Xun Momo.

"A'Yue! Stop!" Xie Jin Yan reached out to stop Gao Minyue, sat down on the main seat without a word, gave Xun Momo a look, and said in a deep voice, "Xun Momo, help Miss Qiu sit down."

Qiu Shiyi Niang was unable to get close to Xie Jin Yan, appearing somewhat unwilling, but since Xie Jin Yan had spoken, she couldn't do anything more, only putting on a weak look and sitting back in her chair with tears in her eyes.

Then, she looked at Xie Jin Yan again, wiping away her tears and hypocritically pleading for Gao Minyue, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, Miss Gao really didn't mean to, it was my fault to begin with, don't scold her..."

Her words were magnanimous and gentle, but her eyes were intentionally or unintentionally provocative.

"You bitch!"

Gao Minyue was already full of anger, and seeing Qiu Shiyi Niang like this, she became even more enraged, yelling and wanting to throw a teacup at Qiu Shiyi Niang.

Qiu Shiyi Niang didn't dodge, sitting upright in her chair, motionless, her eyes red, "Miss Gao, I did offend you just now. If hitting me again will make you feel better, then do it..."

As she spoke, she closed her eyes.

"You think I wouldn't dare!" Gao Minyue cursed and struggled to pounce on her.

Qiu Shiyi Niang took a deep breath, assuming the posture of a hero going to her death.

However, the next moment, she heard a crisp slap.

A burning pain spread across her face. Gao Minyue was stunned by the sudden slap.

"Yu Qingwu! How dare you hit me!"

She touched her red and swollen cheek, staring at Yu Qingwu in disbelief and anger, instantly becoming extremely irritable.

Yu Qingwu, this bitch! She was taking the opportunity to bully her together with that Qiu Shiyi Niang!

Gao Minyue's eyes turned red, and she shrieked as she tried to scratch Yu Qingwu's face.

Yu Qingwu ignored her, only sidestepping slightly, smiling as she looked at Qiu Shiyi Niang and her nanny, and asked in a gentle voice, "Miss Qiu, are you satisfied with this result?"

Hearing this, Qiu Shiyi Niang was stunned, and the nanny was also dumbfounded.

In their plan, this Yu would take the opportunity to target Gao, and she would act as a peacemaker from the middle, but Yu's reaction...seemed to be protecting Gao instead?

Could it be... that the information was inaccurate? Yu and Gao were not as at odds as rumored?

Raising her eyes to look at Gao Minyue, who was equally confused, a hint of unwillingness flashed in Qiu Shiyi Niang's eyes. She nodded slightly and said with tears in her eyes, "This humble woman thanks Liangdi for venting her anger, but this humble woman didn't originally intend to punish Miss Gao, after all, it was this humble woman who offended her first, Miss Gao..."

"Miss Qiu, A'Yue hitting you has been resolved. Now, we should talk about your offense against A'Yue."

"A'Yue, tell me, how did Miss Qiu offend you?" Qiu Shiyi Niang was still pretending when a cold female voice came from across.

The aloof woman slowly rose from her chair, walked slowly to Gao Minyue's side, pulled her back down, and looked at her with a smile, asking in a coaxing tone, "A'Yue, tell Shijie, what exactly did the Qiu family's daughter do to make you hit her?"

Yu Qingwu's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and even the hand holding Gao Minyue's was so soft.

Their eyes met, and Gao Minyue was slightly stunned.

Her eyes were filled with incomprehension and disbelief.

But soon, she came back to her senses.

Turning her head, she glared fiercely at Qiu Shiyi Niang and said through gritted teeth, "She said that I was a servant in this manor, ordering me to serve her tea and water. When I ignored her, she lectured me for not knowing etiquette, calling me an evil slave and saying that I was born of a mother but not taught by a father..."

Heh, this Qiu Shiyi Niang really knew how to poke at people's sore spots.

Yu Qingwu sneered inwardly, her gaze shifting as she looked at the crying Qiu Shiyi Niang across from her, and asked kindly, "Miss Qiu, is what my Shimei said true?"

"This humble woman..." Qiu Shiyi Niang's face paled, her expression somewhat embarrassed.

She originally thought that Yu would be united with her against the enemy, and she could take the opportunity to befriend Yu and then use Yu to slowly approach the Crown Prince.

As for the words she said, Yu would naturally help her gloss over them...

But now, she probably couldn't count on it anymore...

Thinking of this, Qiu Shiyi Niang's eyes filled with tears, her gaze shifting to Xie Jin Yan, who had been silent on the main seat, and she called out to him with a sob, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, this humble woman... this humble woman did say those words, but it wasn't as exaggerated as Miss Gao said."

Not as exaggerated? So she still said it?

With a mocking look in her eyes, Yu Qingwu exchanged glances with Xie Jin Yan, got up and walked to Xie Jin Yan's side, blocking Qiu Shiyi Niang's line of sight.

Then, she naturally sat down beside Xie Jin Yan again, smiling at Qiu Shiyi Niang, displaying the fairness and integrity of the Crown Prince's manor's mistress, and retorted, "So, Miss Qiu, you're admitting that you insulted A'Yue, saying she was born of a mother but not taught by a father?"

Qiu Shiyi Niang paused slightly, anger surging in her eyes, but she tried her best to restrain herself, looking at Xie Jin Yan with red eyes.

Xie Jin Yan leaned back in his chair, lazily sipping his tea, as if seeing through her thoughts, and said faintly, "Miss Qiu, the affairs of the inner court are always decided by Liangdi. You don't need to look at me. Did you or did you not call A'Yue born of a mother but not taught by a father? Did you or did you not treat her like a servant? You only need to answer, yes or no. If you didn't, Liangdi will definitely handle it impartially."
