Zhenzhen managed to calm Xiaoling and escort her to her quarters. She could guess that what happened last night was beyond Xiaoling's control. Seeing how bitter she was about it, the only possible outcome must be that Hou Hai forced himself on her.
As Zhenzhen helped Xiaoling sit down on the tea chair, she quickly poured her tea and sat before her.
"Young Lady," Zhenzhen uttered with seriousness, "Forgive me for being nosy, but," She grabbed Xiaoling's hands, "Allow me to take this matter to the Second Lord."
Xiaoling glared at her as if she had said something beyond possible. Zhenzhen immediately tightened her grip on Xiaoling's hands.
"Trust me," Zhenzhen said, "No one wants to see you like this. Even if a marriage is divined, the Arbiter can overwrite it if necessary."
Xiaoling shook her head, "It's dangerous. Forget about it."
