While Evelynn was glaring at her, Isabella stepped forward.
"Zenova, you should keep quiet. If it's about punishment, Natalya has been slapped."
Zenova blinked, "Just a slap and you call that punishment? Isn't this equivalent to just giving a pat on the back of the hand and forgetting it?"
"…" Isabella clenched her teeth, unable to retort.
Even in the Ruth Family, punishments were deadly. If an Emperor's consort did the same thing as Natalya did, she would've been beheaded along with her entire family and three more generations. Therefore, she understood where Zenova came from, but wanted to tell her it wasn't like that.
Shirley stepped forward at this moment, "Since we are all equal in the harem, even getting a slap warrants that the wrongdoer has been punished well, and we all trust big sister Evelynn to be righteous, just, and reasonable. Otherwise, do you think you can walk freely after receiving just twice the number of slaps Natalya did for the crimes you committed?"
