It was just that Xue Yunshu had seen the Prince Chen Mansion's carriage outside the restaurant, so she was completely focused on Pei Yan, not noticing that Mei Wanying and the others were right next door.
Hearing those words, Xue Xingyao's face flushed red with anger.
"It's one thing for her to tattle at home, but to be so reckless with her words in public... Is she trying to get us all killed?"
If that person hadn't been Pei Yan, not only would she and her mother be in trouble, but the entire Duke Mansion would have suffered.
Some things were fine as long as they weren't brought out into the open; people could turn a blind eye.
But bringing it up before a member of the Royal Family—how was that any different from a direct provocation?
It was like she was afraid people *wouldn't* hold it against them!
Overcome with rage, Xue Xingyao shot up from her seat and stormed out of the private room.
