Song Yunzhao had thought that a man like Xu Sixi, with so many years of experience in the palace, would be smart. If he had just offered a few placating words, she wouldn't have pressed the matter.
But after waiting a moment, all she saw was him glaring at her, his anger palpable. In the end, it was clear he didn't take her seriously, so she simply flicked her sleeve and walked away.
She could see that Zhang Maoquan and he were clearly at odds. Now that Zhang Maoquan was more or less on her side, she could absolutely leverage one against the other.
Making Xu Sixi suffer a setback was equivalent to letting Zhang Maoquan feel vindicated. Afterward, Zhang Maoquan would surely be more attentive to her matters. At this thought, Song Yunzhao decided it was well worth it.
