A few guards immediately surrounded Madam Wei's carriage. Frustrated, she pulled open the curtain and shouted at the guards, "Open your eyes and see who I am! I'm Madam Gu, the wife of Chancellor Gu. How dare you stop me? Open the city gates and let me through!"
Having been the wife of a Left Chancellor for years, she had grown used to flaunting her authority and had a strong presence.
Ji Beichen stepped out of his own carriage and spoke, "A report has been made, alleging that Madam is involved in kidnapping young girls. Please step out of the carriage for inspection."
Madam Wei rolled her eyes as if she were about to faint, "Hehe, Your Highness has such a sense of humour. Accusing me of kidnapping young girls? I'm taking my own daughter out of the city. Is that a crime too?"
