"She won't, sister, she..."
"This palace advises the two of you to rein in your wild flights of fancy."
Bai Wuheng and Lin Fuying were startled and hastily turned their heads, only to see Chu Nanli standing at the doorway, accompanied by Yanyan.
The words had come from Chu Nanli herself.
Lin Fuying was somewhat panicked, not knowing how much Chu Nanli had heard, and couldn't help but ask, "Sister, when did you arrive?"
After a pause, she added, "You could have spoken up when you arrived. In fact, Yingying and Brother Wuhen were not speaking ill of you."
Her remark was a veiled accusation that Chu Nanli was eavesdropping.
Bai Wuheng's expression soured.
One was the embarrassment and irritation of being caught speaking behind someone's back; the other was discontent with Chu Nanli's act of eavesdropping.
"Just arrived."
In the next moment, Chu Nanli's mocking voice rang out.
