Hearing the Noble Consort's final words, Consort Xu De felt a vague unease in her heart and looked at Nanny Qi, whispering, "Nanny Qi, is this really okay? Should we…"
But she didn't finish her sentence.
She knew that Nanny Qi was impervious to both soft and hard tactics, yet to not give any face to the Noble Consort and directly humiliate her in public was beyond her expectations.
What kind of person was Nanny Qi? At a young age, she had helped the Former Empress Dowager manage an entire court. Whether it was her capabilities, vision, or methods, she was second to none in the palace. During her heyday, Nanny Qi had even managed the entire harem on behalf of the Former Empress Dowager.
Common sense dictated that one should not slap someone in the face, especially not the Noble Consort's. So Nanny Qi was unlikely to make such a mistake, hence Consort Xu De found it very strange, feeling that it might have been intentional.
