'In this sweltering heat, she probably can't last much longer.'
"Lady Fangyi, you can't just say that. Beauty Zhen was just an innocent party caught in the crossfire. Are you going to pass judgment without getting to the bottom of things?"
Song Yunzhao looked at Lu Zhixue in surprise. She hadn't expected Lu Zhixue to be the first to speak up.
An Fangyi scoffed and turned to Lu Zhixue. "Oh? In that case, Lu Pin, why don't you tell me all about Beauty Zhen's grievances."
Lu Zhixue's expression soured at her words. She hadn't witnessed it herself, so how could she possibly explain?
Seeing this, Qin Xiyue stepped forward and curtsied to An Fangyi. "Lady Fangyi, please forgive us. This matter concerns Consort Zhuang, so we naturally wouldn't dare to speak recklessly."
"If you don't dare to speak recklessly, then why are you here looking so wronged? How ridiculous."
