Liu Shimei was surprised, "May I ask, what is the reason?"
She knew that everything had two sides, and people always viewed things from their own perspective, examining events from their own starting point. Therefore, it was not that she didn't trust Zhong Lang, but she still wanted to hear both sides of the story, to avoid believing in one-sided words.
Mu Jiangli looked at her, not clarifying the cause and effect of the situation. Instead, he said, "I know you want to resolve the grievances between me and Zhong Lang."
He set down the teacup in his hand and continued, "Shaking hands and making peace is impossible, but... for your sake, I can temporarily let him go. From now on, as long as he is by your side, I will not pursue past grievances. But once he is no longer your retainer, I will demand retribution from him."
Liu Shimei was very surprised, "Is Lord Mu... valuing me too much? Is my face so significant?"
