"Auntie, bring Concubine Du here!" Third Madame suddenly issued the command.
Taken aback, Auntie Ling nodded and left.
However, to her dismay, Concubine Du was not by her side.
Third Madame was incredibly sensitive. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she snapped, "How dare that woman not show up!"
Auntie Ling forced a smile, trying to pacify the situation. "Madame, please don't be angry. Third Miss…"
"Bah! That woman is not the Third Miss!"
"Yes, yes!" Auntie Ling acquiesced, going along with Third Madame Qiao's words. "Concubine Du's daughter is still weak, and Concubine Du says she needs to take care of her. She will come to visit Madame Qiao later…"
"That woman!" Third Madame seethed. "How dare she! Who does she think she is? How dare she disobey my orders? Go and fetch her, and bring Qiao Kou as well! Make it clear to them that I have Concubine Du's contract! Let her think twice before defying me!"
"Just go!"
