After a long silence, Meng Zhuqing saw that Wild Goose Jade was still not speaking, so she no longer waited, nor asked further, but instead said, "If Minister Tao has done any harm to you, Miss, you can speak freely without hesitation."
Wild Goose Jade remained silent, but inside she sneered: No need to hesitate? Ha, I thought I didn't need to hesitate around you, that I could trust you, but what happened? You brought me here?
Meng Zhuqing continued, "No matter if Minister Tao is the enemy you seek or not, if that enemy has harmed you, and that is why you had no choice but to seek revenge, you can speak out."
Wild Goose Jade stayed silent, as if Meng Zhuqing didn't exist at all.
Meng Zhuqing pursed her lips, then went on to say, "I am but a deputy general, and I'm someone who serves as a slave to others. I hold little influence and probably can't help you much in this regard, but my lord can."
