Chen Xuan’s tone was icy, making Chen E feel as if she had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar. She couldn't stop herself from trembling all over. Beside her, his second uncle, Chen Jun, was also breaking out in a cold sweat, his back soaked through.
The remarks Chen E had just made—accusing Chen Zhan and his wife of trying to harm Chen Jianlin’s father with the pill—were truly malicious. If someone with bad intentions seized upon that, and given that Chen Zhan and his wife had no real background, facing such grave accusations and suspicion would be far worse than death.
Realizing the severity of the situation, Chen E’s lips turned pale. "Chen Xuan," she pleaded, "your second aunt knows I spoke out of turn. I apologize to you, your father, and your mother right now. I'm sorry!" As she spoke, she tapped her own face a few times, pretending to slap herself, though anyone could see she wasn't using any real force.
