Deputy Prefect Guan sneered. "Certainly!"
Deputy Prefect Guan furrowed his brows once more and remarked, "I haven't even addressed your involvement yet. How could you instruct Jia'er to engage in such folly?

"Madam Shao is expecting. If something were to happen, how can the couple refrain from seeking vengeance? What folly have you committed?!"
"Old Master!" Mrs. Guan panicked upon hearing this. "I genuinely did not advise him on this. How could I be so thoughtless? You know my character, don't you? Regardless of my displeasure with Madam Shao's conduct, I would never harm the child in her womb! I was just as shocked!"
