However, explaining things to Consort Fu proved impossible. Impatiently, Consort Su snapped, "I told you to dress casually. Why are you talking nonsense?"
Consort Fu was nearly dumbfounded.
This was beyond bullying!
Consort Su paid no mind to her irritation and continued to push her impatiently.
Despite her anger, Consort Fu didn't dare confront her directly. In the end, she had no choice but to "faint."
And with that, the tense standoff dissolved into a farce.
Zheng Sangge and the Jinhua County Magistrate burst into laughter upon learning of the incident. They remarked that Consort Su was indeed spirited, despite her coarseness.
Consort Su was adept at reading situations. Her attempt to assert dominance had failed, prompting a sudden change in demeanor. She seemed to transform, becoming more adaptable and less demanding.
