Chapter 80

"Sophistry!" Yuwen Junan stepped forward, his eyes burning with undisguised hatred. He grasped Shuangxi’s wrists, forcing him to release his grip on Lu Qingyan, and said, "Your brother, Lu Zhihe, is cold-blooded and vicious. He committed arson and murder, yet you claim he was forced into it? Lu Qingyan, you subvert the truth and run rampant in the inner palace, all because you rely on the power and influence of the Lu Clan. If the day comes when your family loses its power, have you wondered how those you have humiliated and persecuted will treat you?" "You wretch! Hold your tongue!" Blinded by rage, Lu Qingyan swung her hand the moment her wrist was released, striking Yuwen Junan hard across the face. Five distinct finger marks instantly appeared on his exquisite, porcelain-like cheeks.
