"Who are you trying to show your virtue to? Do you think because you act this way, you can gain her favor? That she won't scheme against you?" Qi Guipin's voice had dropped, but now it was filled with even more anger.
"Qi Guipin, I really am quite astonished. With… her tactics, how are you still alive? And to have two children, your luck must be extraordinarily good indeed," Ye Zao said with disdain.
"What did you say!" Qi Guipin took a step forward. "How dare you mock me!"
"Why can't I mock you? You are so foolish I can't even be bothered to deal with you, do you know that? After all, you were one of the first to serve His Majesty in the residence. What, did having two children make you lose your brain?" Ye Zao mocked.
"Lady Ye! You, born a lowly servant, what right do you have to laugh at me?" Qi Guipin glared, looking as if she could eat someone alive.
