Consort Jin had not expected to encounter Chu Qianli here.
She had just returned from the palace and hurried to inquire about Chu Qianli's situation.
After all, having done what she had, she would have been pleased if this woman were already dead.
Then she could simply claim it was a self-induced miscarriage, that she died on her own, leaving no one able to testify otherwise.
Miscarriage drugs are not poison; dying from a miscarriage, who could trace what she had fed to that vile woman when the time came?
Yet unexpectedly, after so many days without news, she heard today that Chu Qianli had returned to the Duke Residence.
Consort Jin's information was somewhat outdated, but, upon hearing this news, she immediately came back.
And just like that, she encountered her!
The little Palace Maid by her side became weak at the knees upon seeing Chu Qianli alive and well in front of her, despite being psychologically prepared beforehand.
