Auntie Liu's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Zuo Xiangning, vehemently shaking her head with a hoarse voice, "I've always been like a sister to her... How could I possibly harm her?"
"I didn't say you harmed her, I just want to know if you're related to this?" Zuo Xiangning pressed, "Can't you speak the truth now?"
"It was Madame Jiang who drove her to death!" Madam Liu suddenly cried out excitedly, "She didn't want to be a concubine, it was Madame Jiang who, seeing her beauty, wanted to use her against me. She forced her into concubinage and then, fearing she would become the favorite, schemed to make her fall into the water. She refused to provide proper medical treatment, ultimately causing her early demise."
Zuo Xiangning looked at her with utter disappointment, "You really are unrepentant, at death's door, and still trying to frame others!"
"I'm telling the truth!" Auntie Liu said fervently, "You must believe me!"
