"Eldest Princess, this official's wife has been wronged."
As soon as the Grand General's Wife spoke, her voice was raspy and her eyes red and swollen. Anyone unaware of the facts would have thought she was suffering a grievance of monumental proportions: "Ever since Yingning joined the household, this official's wife has always treated her like a younger sister of my own.
