Consort Huo felt a deep sense of unease and laughed, "Sister Zhao Yi, your words are hardly credible. If you said my younger brother gifted someone a house, perhaps my cousin could know about it, but how would he know if my younger brother gifted someone clothes and trinkets? Clearly, the rumors are not to be believed!"
Ji Zhaoyi said triumphantly, "It's not a rumor. A few days ago, my cousin accidentally obtained a concubine who turned out to be the runaway eldest daughter from the mansion of Duke An. The mother of the Wife of King Qin is a lady from the Duke's family, and just then the family of the Wife of King Qin was staying at Duke An's mansion as guests. Young Master Huo brazenly sent the gifts directly there. Everyone in Duke An's mansion knows these things; it's no secret at all!"
