Saying it to this degree, it wasn’t good for the empress to continuing blocking, just lowering her head to take a sip of tea and saying with a smile, “Alright, why don’t you take Jinrou over. You were originally just an attentive child to begin with. In the past, towards the Lu family young lady, you were even more attentive than now. It’s a pity she doesn’t have the good fortune. Now, you better properly take care of Jinrou.”
Ming Jinrou didn’t have any ripples in the her expression to begin with. Aside from slightly stiffening for a moment at the first glance upon seeing Qin Wang, the rest of the time, regardless of whether others appeared excited or dejected, whether it was delight or awkwardness, she was all calm from beginning to end.
Both not appearing happy because Qin Wang’s words revealed that bit of closeness with her, nor becoming dejected because Empress Wen hinted of Qin Wang being considerate towards the Lu clan daughter in the past. Just, when getting up and bowing, she hooked the corner of her mouth, still mocking, “Many thanks for your Highness’s consideration.”
The same words landing in different people’s ears immediately just produced different meanings.
The empress, as well as the Wen family and Deng family, felt that it just sounded like mockery directly hitting their face.
