Ji Qingrong was startled by Fifth Missy's words.
She was mentally and physically exhausted, but she knew that such a scandal could not truly be brought before the Emperor. In the end, it would become public knowledge, and both families would be disgraced.
Ji Qingwu seemed to sense her anxiety. She pulled her older sister behind her and whispered in her ear, "Sister, I'll take care of this. Don't you worry."
Ji Qingrong nodded, a wave of warmth washing over her.
When Lu Juan saw his wife pulled behind her sister, his brows furrowed, and his gaze sharpened.
Ji Qingwu looked up and boldly met Lu Juan's gaze.
Lu Juan had been an official for many years and had even been tempered in the Ministry of Justice. The intimidating aura he projected with a stern face was no small matter; few women or children could see it and not be afraid.
But Ji Qingwu was completely unafraid. 'I've seen far colder and fiercer!'
