Chapter 271: Tricked Twice

Li Junyan stared at Ji Xinhe who appeared to be taking vows before her. A plethora of fearful emotions welled up in her heart. She tried to speak out, but words failed her. After all, the current situation was completely unexpected, one she had neither planned nor anticipated, leaving her mind in a state of disarray and her face paler.

Xinhe released her hand and stood up: "What are you all still staring at? Quickly take the second miss back to her room and summon the doctor. As for these two old hags....."

Xinhe's gaze fell on the two elderly women, her expression cold and distant.

Lady Sun hastily interjected: "Leave the two old women to me. Their audacity to engage in such actions—heinous acts—I need to get to the bottom of this."

"These two old women dared to do something like this under my watch, there is no way I can let them go scot-free, let alone nearly causing Junyan to drown. How can I stand by idly?"
