As Su Luobai laid out the details of the case, the once composed Noble Consort could no longer sit still. "Your Majesty, Qing'er may have been a bit willful since childhood, but she is absolutely incapable of doing such a thing." The beauty appeared pitiful, striving to evoke sympathy.
"Is the Noble Consort implying that my entire family is risking their lives to frame the Seventh Princess?" Su Yanchen stood up and looked at Noble Consort Wang. "If you knew the Princess was willful, why did you not teach her better? Her vengeful nature is well known; you need only inquire among the daughters of noble houses. Which young lady has had her eyes gouged out, or been pushed into the water in the dead of winter, all because she looked at someone the Princess fancied? If these two had not been lucky, the Princess would likely have two more deaths on her conscience by now."
"Lord Su, aren't they both fine? I will find the best imperial physicians to treat Young Master Su's injuries. I only meant to teach him a lesson; I... I didn't know these two would frame me," Xiao Qing'er continued to argue weakly.
