Qin Liuxi was impervious to flattery and had a particularly venomous tongue, which really infuriated Third Grandmother Tu and her party considerably.
The Tu Family wasn't among the top powerful families in Qingzhou Prefecture City, but because they were related by marriage to the Meng Family of the Ancheng Marquis Mansion, and with Third Grandmother Tu originating from the Meng Family, under the favor of Noble Princess Consort Meng, such in-laws as the Tu Family also soared in status, commanding considerable esteem locally.
However, whether this esteem was genuine or simply borrowed influence was indeed debatable.
Because of this, those with discerning eyes did not dare provoke the Tu Family openly, especially Third Grandmother Tu. After all, she had the backing of the Ancheng Marquis Mansion, and her aunt was the much-favored Imperial Concubine. Who wouldn't give her some respect?
Qin Liuxi did not!
