Xu Chenghui, seeing the confrontational Concubine Xu, who had always been on good terms with Lady Shen, and now that Concubine Xu was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the East Palace, many matters had to go through her hands.
It wouldn't do to offend Concubine Xu.
Alarmed, Xu Chenghui hurried forward to pay her respects, "Concubine Xu, you must have misheard, I didn't speak of Lady Shen."
Concubine Xu huffed, "My ears work very well; I heard every word you said crystal clear. You dare to curse His Highness's offspring, you've got some nerve. Wait till His Highness returns, and I will tell him everything, to shut that mouth of yours."
Xu Chenghui's legs went weak with fear, and she "thudded" onto her knees on the ground, pleading pitifully, "Concubine Xu, rumors are rampant in the East Palace, it's not just me speculating, everyone is saying it. Please let this slide and don't tell His Highness."
