Song Yunzhao said, "That's where you're wrong, Nanny. Lu Zhixue is no commoner; she's the legitimate daughter of a great clan. How could she possibly be ignorant of social customs? She's just doing this to provoke me."
Xiangxue, standing to the side, added, "Lu Pin has truly gone too far, targeting our mistress time and again."
Shizhu nodded in agreement. "If our mistress lets this slide, I'm afraid Lu Pin will only grow more arrogant."
Qingfeng, who had just entered with tea, overheard this and said softly, "If our mistress makes too much of a fuss, I fear it will harm her reputation."
Shizhu shot her a look. "I know you've always been cautious, but look at the circumstances. Our mistress was the first among the new concubines to receive the Emperor's favor. For someone to dare cause trouble now... Lu Pin is only acting this way because she thinks her family background is better than our mistress's. If our mistress swallows this insult, this will never end."
