Liu Yiyi was startled. She knew how serious his words were and quickly said, "I had no such intention!"
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, but his voice still carried unrestrained anger. "I've been the County Magistrate of Jiangling for too many years. Now, I finally have a chance for promotion. As long as I perform well enough, the next step is within reach! I was originally planning to settle this matter as quickly as possible, but you! It's as if you were afraid of not making a big enough scene!"
Hearing him say this, Liu Yiyi's heart began to pound with panic.
"Th-this... I really didn't know! I only wanted to teach her a little lesson. Who knew she... she would be so resourceful!"
Yang Zhen's brows knitted even tighter.
Liu Yiyi's words made it clear that she already knew what had happened. She hadn't left the mansion today, yet she was well aware of the situation outside.
