Duan Xiaoyan became anxious upon hearing this, "It's not worth it, not worth it at all, I'm not worth it! Sister, please rethink this!"
"What's not worth it? Life is fleeting; when you die, you're buried. My girl, in the next life, we'll still be sisters."
Their diversion lightened the previously tense atmosphere a bit, and amid this laughable exchange, Lu Tong finally spoke.
She said, "Today, Young Master Duan dies here, and Lord Pei avenges him by killing my maid. It's likely that by tomorrow he won't let me off the hook, let alone Renxin Medical Hall."
"After all, Lord Pei is an imperial guard of the Emperor, with a noble status, making it a piece of cake for him to strike at us commoners."
"Escape means death either way..."
She lifted her gaze, calmly locking eyes with the person opposite her.
"So today, none of us should leave through this door, let's die together."
At those words, not only was Duan Xiaoyan taken aback, but even Chi Jian at the door was startled.
