Muniang looked at him calmly, "Do you have anything you want to say now?"
Zhong Yulang pursed his lips, but merely said, "It was wrong of me to hide some things from you, but I never thought of colluding with Mrs. Luo to deceive you."
Muniang stared into his eyes steadily, yet what she saw was his honest gaze directly meeting hers, without the slightest hint of concealment.
Actually, Muniang wasn't someone who couldn't discern right from wrong. She had been purely confused by her anger earlier, but upon further reflection, she realized something was amiss. Zhong Yulang was a man she had dealt with often. If he had truly intended to harm her, why bother warning her to leave quickly at the end to avoid Mrs. Luo's trap?
Seeing that Muniang was no longer speaking, Zhong Yulang thought she didn't believe him and stood up straight, saying, "This matter was indeed my fault. If you still do not wish to trust me, I can only leave myself at your mercy."
