Madam Feng pounded her chest in frustration, her face etched with disappointment. "If she had truly framed you, the Wang family would do whatever it took to clear our name. But that’s not the case. What Lady Yun said is the truth. Those two concubines who disappeared from your courtyard—not to mention the servants—all know you struck her. If this ends in a ruinous confrontation, who do you think will suffer the most?"
Wang Ji’s face was dark with resentment. Madam Feng glanced at him sideways, her own grudge against the Yun family simmering as she recalled Madam Wen’s attitude.
"Your grandmother knows you are unhappy, but you must endure this for now. You must bring her back to the Wang family and wait until she has given birth. Once that happens, you can do whatever you please."
