Bai Jinyan rose to her feet and met her gaze, only to find Pei Qin's eyes calm and unfathomable, impossible to see through.

Among the countless people she had seen, very few women had given her such a sense of pressure.

Bai Jinyan also smiled, "Madam Yuanyang need not insult me; everything is still undecided."

"Is that so?" Pei Qin sighed, "That's a real pity. At least the positions of the principal wife and the concubine are settled."
