Ji Xiaosong grew suspicious when she learned that Consort Song was hosting the Spring God Festival and had specifically requested her attendance.
In previous years, the Spring God Festival had always been organized by the Empress. This year, because the Empress was pregnant at an advanced age, the task had fallen to Consort Song.
Consort Song's faction had always had a cool relationship with the Xiao family, which deeply concerned Ji Xiaosong. She couldn't understand why she had been singled out for this festival. 'Is she trying to test the Xiao family's stance? Or does she plan to humiliate me in front of everyone?'
Previously, while trying to conceive, she had remained in seclusion to prevent anyone from framing her and starting malicious rumors.
After all, it was difficult for Xiao Shen to father children. In an era without paternity tests, if someone were to see her with another man, the resulting rumors would be disastrous.
