Lady Gao first detected something off about the tone of the conversation. She knew better than anyone that Song Hong's concubines were not easy to deal with, so how could they suddenly start praising Song Chongjin and his wife?
Sure enough, wasn't this the true intent revealed?
Seeing Song Hong frown, Lady Gao immediately sensed trouble and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly adopted a stern expression and glared at Lady Hou and the concubines, saying coldly: "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can gossip about the Master Heir-Apparent and his wife behind their backs?"
"Even I, as the legitimate wife, haven't had anything to say about this. Since when did matters in the Duke's Mansion become a subject for concubines to comment on?"
Without waiting for the concubines to respond, she turned to Song Hong: "My lord, I must say, the rules for these sisters have been too lax in recent years; it's time to tighten them."
