Being summoned by Li Sangruo was naturally not going to be a pleasant affair.
Yet when Feng Yun learned of her impending visit to Xinzhou, she had already prepared for their meeting. If not today, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
She wasn't taken aback, but curious.
"How did the County Lord manage to refuse on my behalf?"
Li Sangruo was not someone who could be easily "gently declined."
With a languid air, Puyang Yi replied, "I mentioned that as someone of the Empress Dowager's stature, arriving in Xinzhou and summoning court officials the following day, it would inevitably lead to gossip if she rushingly called upon the General's wife. The Empress Dowager is quite concerned with her image, after all."
Concerned with her image? More like shameless.
Feng Yun replied with a smile that was not quite a smile, "So, is the County Lord here to probe my intentions on behalf of the Empress Dowager?"
Puyang Yi pondered for a moment and then nodded.
