Jiang Guipin and Ning Liangpin returned to the palace, both with drooped heads and spirits dampened.
The two were so angry they even refused to take the sedan.
Seeing that Jiang Guipin remained silent, Ning Liangpin tried to console her, "Sister Jiang, don't be too upset. We may have failed to teach that wretched girl a lesson this time, but we'll find other ways to discipline her next time. "
Jiang Guipin glared at Ning Liangpin, "It was your rotten idea that led to this. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in such a mess today. Numbskull!"
Ning Liangpin was not convinced, but dared not talk back, she simply said: "It's a shame we didn't anticipate the sudden appearance of the Emperor. If it weren't for him, the guards could have taken her away and beaten her."
Jiang Guipin glared at Ning Liangpin again: "It wasn't the sudden arrival of the Emperor, but the wretch who ran over there herself."
