Madam Li and her daughter came to a stop after they were a fair distance away.
They turned back to see the Dowager Duchess chatting with the Grand Princess while being surrounded by the high-society wives of the imperial officials.
Madam Li was quite upset to witness this scene.
If not for her daughter's silly mistake those years ago, the one surrounded by those lofty wives today would be her.
She clenched her teeth, feeling bitter over this.
Her gaze turned toward the direction the Emperor and Empress had left for and a thought crossed her mind. She pulled her daughter along with her.
Li Tong'er was not happy either.
She had been quite embarrassed when the mistake she had made when she was younger was revealed publicly. She felt the need to crush everyone who had laughed at her under her feet.
However, she would need to be someone of high status to do that. She would have to be the Emperor's favorite concubine.
