"Is this another one of your messes?" Lady Jiang's voice rose by eight degrees as she demanded, "Master Li was courting you, asking you to meet with him. Is this how you behave, Jiang Hanyun?"
"How can the blame be on me?" Jiang Hanyun felt extremely wronged, "It is clearly him who was in the wrong. He... he..."
Even as the words reached her lips, she stopped herself. Those dirty stories of frequenting brothels and having multiple mistresses would only dirty her mother's ears.
Lady Jiang took her silence for an inability to come up with a decent excuse and sneered, "Can't make something up? Take your time. Feel free to fabricate more! What kind of person you are, Jiang Hanyun, do you think I don't know? Just look at how many of the men who attempted to court you have escaped your assault? Master Li has such impeccable character, the Divine Beast of Master Chenghuang himself said he is a pure gentleman!"
