'She came begging for her life, so why is she claiming she'd face death without hesitation? So hypocritical.'
The Crown Prince toyed with the thumb ring on his finger and said casually, "I despise nothing more than a faithless man who wrongs a woman. Your daughter's fiancé committed such a transgression, yet you're just going to let it pass?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao looked troubled. "Well... the Qi Mansion and my Xie Family have always been on good terms. It was only after this incident with Mi'er that things became... If I were to hold this against the Qi Mansion, my husband would never forgive me when he returns..."
She was so timid and fearful, completely stripped of her usual arrogance.
The Crown Prince frowned as he listened.
'This lady of the City Lord Mansion... She mentioned her second daughter, the Qi Family, and Qi Yan, yet she completely forgot about her eldest daughter, the one who was actually hurt. How utterly heartless.'
