Dong Shu had come with Old Madame Xu in a carriage, because Old Madame Xu had an order for a title, her Xu Family also had a carriage that matched her status as a Old Madame Xu.

However, when their carriage reached the palace gates, they encountered another carriage.

The two carriages could have gone head to head, but for some reason, the other carriage wanted to be in front of them.

After realising this, Old Madame Xu did not get angry, but instructed: ”Make way, make way, there's no need to fight over this.”

When Old Madame Xu said this, the carriage driver immediately slowed down and gave way to another carriage.

Only, the other Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu did not expect to see the person inside the carriage while they were waiting for the other carriage to leave.

That person seemed to be waiting for them. Seeing them appear, he directly sized them up from head to toe without any etiquette, and then revealed an expression that belittled them.

Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu did not recognize him, so they did not have the intention to speak and prepared to leave.

However, just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a voice sound out from beside them.

”Where did this country bumpkin come from? How unlucky!”

Zhang Yi Ran squinted her eyes and said. Seeing that neither Old Madame Xu nor Dong Shu had the intention to stop, she rolled her eyes and directly said to Dong Shu: ”Hey, I'm talking about you, stop right there.” Saying that, Zhang Yiran immediately walked two steps forward, raising her hand to stop Dong Shu.

Dong Shu raised her eyes and looked at the young lady in front of him.

Dong Shu did not expect to be troubled the moment she entered the palace. She pursed her lips and raised her head to look at her mother-in-law.

Seeing that her mother-in-law had no intention to speak, she slightly pursed her lips and used a smile that said ”I can't find the wrong person to do”. However, it was obvious from the smile on her face that she was looking at the young woman in front of her.

”Miss, I am Third Madame of Xu Family.” After saying that, Dong Shu's expression did not change, he continued looking at the young lady with the same calm expression: ”I wonder why Miss is obstructing us here?”

Dong Shu's voice had always been soft and gentle, neither too hurried nor too slow.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Yiran, who was standing in front of her, was extremely angry.

Since Jiang Yiran had been with Consort De for so long, she naturally understood why her mistress was making things difficult for Dong Shu. She took half a step forward, and when Zhang Yiran noticed her, she softly said: ”Miss Yiran, Empress is still waiting to see Old Madame Xu and Third Madame Xu.”

The moment Jiang Mama finished speaking, Zhang Yiran's face instantly changed.

Although she was using her aunt's, Consort De's, face to stop someone with Xu Family at the palace gate, it did not mean that she dared to disturb the empress's meeting.

However, although she had already compromised her decision, she still arrogantly raised her head and looked at Dong Shu with a cold snort.

As for the Old Madame Xu standing in front, she didn't dare to offend him.

Even if she didn't like Xu Family people, she understood that there was still a title on the body of the Old Madame Xu, and it wasn't something she could make things difficult for.

Before leaving, Zhang Yiran raised her hand to support the hairpin on her head. After allowing Dong Shu to see her hair ornament, she snorted coldly: ”She really can't show her face on stage.”

Although the words seemed to have no beginning or end, everyone at the scene understood that Zhang Yiran's words were directed at Dong Shu.

Dong Shu also understood that Zhang Yiran's words were directed at him, but she did not refute them. Instead, like before, she looked at Zhang Yiran with a fake smile.

Zhang Yi Ran saw that Dong Shu was not annoyed by her, and felt that it was not appropriate for her to stay any longer, so she rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

Seeing Zhang Yiran turn around and leave, Jiang Mama wanted to say a few words to ease the atmosphere. But who knew that Zhang Yiran, who had not walked far, would suddenly lose her balance and fall to the ground.

Since she was not far from it, both Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu could clearly see how she fell.

Zhang Yiran also did not expect herself to fall. After being stunned for a moment, she suddenly remembered that the person from Xu Family was still behind her.

Her hidden hands tightly clenched into a fist. After sensing the gaze from behind her, she immediately turned around like a shrew, looking at Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu: ”What are you looking at! ”Look at the digging again …”

Before she could finish her words, the maid beside Zhang Yiran suddenly reached out and pulled her.

Because of the maid's action, Zhang Yiran did not say anything else.

Merely looking at the expressions in the eyes of Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu, no matter how one looked at it, it was as though they hated them to death.

Seeing Zhang Yiran like this, Jiang Mama was panicking, but he did not show it on the surface.

He only raised his eyes and looked like he was about to explain to Old Madame Xu.

”Let's go.” Old Madame Xu saw that Mama Jiang wanted to speak, so she opened her mouth before Mama Jiang could do so.

Upon hearing her words, Dong Shu immediately took half a step forward, supported her arm, and softly said: ”Mother, let me support you.”

Dong Shu was worried that the Old Madame Xu would fall down too, but in Zhang Yiran's eyes, this was Dong Shu deliberately humiliating her.

She still wanted to say something, but Mama Jiang turned her head to look at her.

This glance made Zhang Yiran instantly recall the fear she felt whenever she met Mama Jiang in her aunt's palace, and saw her helping her aunt deal with those palace maids.

Although she was scared, Zhang Yiran could not control the hatred she had towards the people from the Xu Family.

Dong Shu and the Old Madame Xu did not care about Zhang Yiran, but on the way, Jiang Yiran hesitated and wanted to explain to her what Zhang Yiran had done, but the Old Madame Xu did not give her the chance.

Waiting for the empress's Phoenix Palace entrance, when Old Madame Xu saw Mama Su waiting at the door, she directly said to Mama Jiang, ”Didn't Mama Jiang want to go and pay respects to the empress? Do you want to go now or do you want to wait? ”

Because of what happened at the entrance of Mama Jiang's palace, her heart was extremely anxious.

However, when she looked up at Old Madame Xu, she knew that she was not in a good mood. Whether she left or not, this matter could not be resolved in an instant.

Mama Su had already known about what happened at the entrance of the palace. When she heard Old Madame Xu's words, she immediately looked at him with a smile and said, ”Mama Jiang, please go ahead and do what you need to do first. In this Phoenix Palace, could it be that something will happen? ”
