Ji Mingzhu was not as easy to deal with as imagined.
Without parents and estranged from the clan, she could speak and act without any scruples.
But Du Peifang could not.
If that remark reached His Majesty's ears, at best the Grand Tutor and the Imperial Concubine would be neglected.
At worst, they would be suppressed and stripped of power.
Previously, she merely considered Ji Mingzhu as a romantic rival.
But now, Ji Mingzhu was an evildoer, scheming to cause the Du Family's downfall.
Furious, she smiled mockingly, "Miss Ji, you really have a silver tongue. You almost frightened me, but rest assured, everyone in my family is loyal to the emperor, as visible as the sun and moon. His Majesty is wise and will not wrong his loyal ministers."
"It seems I misunderstood Miss Du's intentions."
Ji Mingzhu earnestly said, "Ill words bring calamity. Miss Du must retract such words to avoid disaster."
Du Peifang's intention was to let Ji Mingzhu see the reality clearly.
