"What Madam, that feral woman who clings to the General's Mansion without name or distinction also deserves to be compared with me, has the Governor's Wife lost her mind?"
The soft and gentle voice was actually full of lethal power, not only leaving Hongling in utter disgrace but also causing the Governor's Wife's heart to feel uneasy. Ye Xinxin had initially wanted to add "old" in front of "confused," but considering this wasn't Chang'an, and although the general magistrate wasn't a very high official, he was the local authority in Yiyang Prefecture, she decided to cut some slack.
Hongling was so infuriated by Ye Xinxin's words that she stomped her foot, although she was well aware that her status was questionable. But with General An's name to back her and no other woman by his side, outsiders were unaware of her situation in the General's Mansion, thus even someone of her standing was treated with courtesy. Now, being so bluntly humiliated was a huge embarrassment.
