Consort Zhou handed the Jade Skin Cream to Mama Li, her face full of pity and self-reproach.
"Princess, such precious stuff, let's not waste it on this old servant's face." Mama Li said, holding the Jade Skin Cream.
"Waste? Aren't ointments meant to be used? If you go out with this face, won't it be my face that's disgraced?" Consort Zhou chided angrily.
Mama Li felt a bit guilty: "It's this old servant's fast mouth that gave that Bai woman a chance to humiliate you."
"You were only defending me; it's Bai Xianxian who is overstepping." Consort Zhou ground her teeth in anger.
Mama Li leaned in closer and whispered, "These few slaps are nothing. What's important is she's lost her backer, it's worth it."
Consort Zhou felt a slight stir in her heart, her mouth twitching slightly.
"Let's not speak of this again; it was all an accident, that child was just unfortunate not to make it to our Prince Mansion." She took a sip of tea, her voice calm.
