Yueyao was unprepared, and another slap fell. The face of the Thirteenth Miss of Duke of Lu's Mansion swelled on the other side as well, symmetrical on both sides.
Lady Xin's expression was unpleasant: "Miss Lian, this is Duke of Lu's Mansion, I ask you not to go too far."
Yueyao sneered: "Elopement? I ask the Second Madam and Thirteenth Miss to lay out the truth, or it won't just be two slaps. Though my parents passed away early, I am not so easily bullied." Yueyao hadn't expected a fool to charge forth, but it was perfect for a demonstration.
Lady Xin's complexion darkened immediately, as Lian Yueyao's words were evidently threatening. Yet, they were in the wrong as only rumors existed outside without solid evidence.
