Chapter 132 - 130 Shen Yinning, It’s Lonely
Cui Ji lowered his gaze, took two steps back, and cupped his hands towards Shen Yinning: "I promised you that I would make Zhang Cuichun confess and face justice. I didn’t expect the Shen Family to brazenly go to the Ministry of Justice to assassinate the witness. I have failed to alleviate your worries, Madam. It’s my incompetence."
Snow drifted between them, like a sea of pear blossoms.

Even though her tone was soft and charming, at this moment, it fell into Cui Ji’s ears colder than snowflakes.
Shen Yinning took off the cloak draped over her shoulders, hooking it with two fingers: "Despite my hardships, I am favored by the Crown Prince and have not suffered much grievance over the years. My food, clothing, and necessities were always top-notch, whether in Gan State or in the Capital. A cloak of cotton fabric like Lord Cui’s, even my maids would look down upon, let alone me? If Lord Cui wishes to show kindness and pity, he should weigh his own worth, so as not to be looked down upon or made a laughingstock."
When she finished speaking, she released her hand.
The thick and warm cloak immediately fell into the snow.

Shen Yinning turned: "Aze, let’s go."
