Chapter 35 Mutual Support
Lin Wanyi was inside the inner chamber, listening clearly, her face darkening as well.
Lady Chu was not on good terms with her, that was a grudge formed from the moment she entered the palace.
Now, she came to her side hall to throw her weight around, truly deepening this grudge further.
So she immediately got out of bed, changed her clothes, and walked out, biting her lip, trying not to lose face in front of Lady Chu.
"Sister Chu, it’s an honor to have you here. Forgive your younger sister for not coming out to greet you earlier. Please, Sister Chu, calm your anger."
Then she "scolded" Chunqi and Xia An, who were kneeling on the ground.
"What are you two doing kneeling here? Hurry up and prepare the tea."
Chunqi responded quickly and immediately spoke back.
"It’s all this servant’s fault. I’ll pour tea for the noble and apologize right away."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she tried to get up and leave, but Lady Chu gave her a look, and Yue Jian, who was following, immediately stepped forward and pressed her back down.
Chunqi struggled in vain as Yue Jian and Yue Pei held her down, forcing her hands up high behind her back, turning her face pale, unable to speak from the pain.
Born into a military family, their methods of punishing people are truly formidable.
