Chapter 1190 - 1013, Gaining Public Opinion Advantage
A proper birthday banquet, spoiled by the people of the An Family, not only left the Household of Prince Yeyang full of anger but also left other guests with a bellyful of frustration.
Gu Jian seldom met outsiders, and this rare opportunity was just about to be spent on a good chat with the Du, Chang, and Yuan families, sadly wrecked by the An Family.

"Really like a rat’s dropping spoiling the whole pot of porridge!"
Princess Consort Xiao was so angered by the An Family’s elder Madam that she nearly suffered a miscarriage. Everyone, however reluctantly, could only stand and take their leave.
The Du, Chang, and Yuan families left together, discussing with a hint of schadenfreude.
Official Du: "The An Family is truly too arrogant, relying on Consort An and the Crown Prince for backing, thinking everyone will give them face. This time they have seriously offended the Household of the Distant Prince."
Not only did they send a mistress to seduce him, but they also directly quarreled with Princess Consort Xiao. What on earth is the An Family thinking, imagining that with the support of Consort An and the Crown Prince, they can act above the law?
Official Chang shook his head and said: "Ever since Consort An took control of the harem, the An Family’s elder Madam has been praised to the skies. I’ve heard that on her first visit she intended to crush Princess Consort Xiao."
