As the night deepened, Luo En uncovered a secret about the Lady.

"That's because your moral standards are high."
"He himself is caught cheating in bed and still dares to raise his hand to me?"
"Worse than a beast!"
Beneath the flickering firelight, the lady enveloped in a sheer gown waved her wine jug, ranting and raving, taking a few sips from time to time to stoke her emotions;
