Lu Ying's hand, gripping the teacup, suddenly tightened.
Their four eyes met, as if an invisible spark and current ignited, neither willing to back down first.
In the end, Lu Ying slammed the teacup heavily onto the table, his face cold as he turned and swept away in anger.
"Your Highness!"
Bai Shuangshuang called out coquettishly, chasing after him.
Shen Yinning sat on the edge of the bed. After being tormented by Lu Ying for most of the night, her entire body ached as if it had been crushed beneath a wheel.
Wei Yu entered with a basin of hot water to attend to her. "Madam?"
Shen Yinning swallowed her humiliation and grievance, giving instructions as she combed her hair: "Send Cuicui to find Yin Yang and have him discover how Bai Shuangshuang became selected to serve in the Eastern Palace."
She didn't believe it was Lu Ying who willingly took her as a concubine.
She wanted to know what Bai Shuangshuang had done in secret after the fall of the Shen Family.
