There were also those who secretly pointed and gestured at Madam Zeng.

However, outwardly, she had to pretend she hadn't seen anything, could say nothing, and could do nothing; otherwise, she would prove Song Jiyun's words true and ruin Song Sanliang.

Song Sanliang's gaze at Song Jiyun was fiery enough to burn.

Whether for the immediate benefits or his recently slandered reputation, he couldn't just stand there and take it.
