"Allow me to ask you, Mrs. Liang, did you personally hear Duke Lou say this verse was for divining Liang Wan's fate from her birth chart?"
Mrs. Liang froze, then honestly shook her head. "...No, but, but I—"
Zhou Yun cut her off with a laugh. "So, not only did you hear this through the grapevine, Mrs. Liang, but you only have a partial understanding. You don't even know the whole story, yet you want to sentence someone to death based on half a phrase!"
Mrs. Liang's face went white, and she could only stammer.
Feng Qingyue exclaimed in surprise, "Half a phrase? How could it be half a phrase? There was clearly only that one line!"
Zhou Yun raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Oh? Could it be that you were present when the Duke was performing his divination, Lady Feng?"
"I... I wasn't there, of course, but... but that can't be right—"
