Lady Lin was at a loss for words for a moment. Naturally, she was afraid of the Dingyuan Marquis, yet she didn't want to answer his questions. Lady Lin had always been someone who valued face; after all, she was a daughter from the General Mansion.

Lady Lin had always wanted to turn things around, but her maiden family wasn't supportive, let alone Mr. Lin's minor official position. In the end, even her daughter was implicated and married off to a concubine's child.
