"You can ask Xin'er if what I said is true," Lady Wei said lightly.
At these words, Lady Lou glared angrily at Lu Xin. "Is what your eldest aunt said true?"
Lu Xin was both shocked and terrified. She had just admitted to bringing Wang Zeren into the residence, but she could never confess that she had intended to harm Zhi Wan.
But if she kept quiet, she would be guilty of secretly meeting with an unrelated man—an equally grave offense.
For a moment, Lu Xin was on the verge of tears, filled with despair.
"You still refuse to tell the truth?" Seeing her daughter's hesitation, Lady Lou clung to a sliver of hope, convinced that Lady Wei was spouting nonsense. She softened her tone. "Xin'er, don't be afraid. As long as you didn't do it, no one can falsely accuse you." As she said this, she shot a glance at Lady Wei.
Lady Wei let out a cold laugh but said nothing, her eyes fixed on Lu Xin with a piercing gaze.
