Ji Xinhe coldly looked at Lady Sun: "What role did you play in this assassination plot?"
Lady Sun hurriedly shook her head: "I don't know anything. I'm just a chess piece under the Emperor's command. I really don't know anything!"
"Then why did the position of Lady Hou fall upon you?" Ji Xinhe pressure step by step.
Lady Sun hastily replied: "Because I have been well-behaved since I entered the Hou Mansion, at that time, apart from Lady Hou, I was the only concubine. When Lady Hou passed away, there was no one to manage the internal affairs of the mansion, Lord Marquis was heartbroken and uninterested in marrying someone else, so he directly promoted me to his legal wife. I really didn't know anything about Lady Wu's death!"
Ji Xinhe stared at Lady Sun with a murderous look in her eye. Whether out of urgency to save her daughter or newfound courage, Lady Sun boldly met Ji Xinhe's gaze: "You promised me that if I told you all this, you would let me go."
