"Because he is Jih Heng's enemy, they are bound to be at each other's throats until the end."
The air in the room seemed to freeze, the candle teetered in the lantern as though it might topple any second, taking the lantern with it and burning it all to ash.
Jiang Li reached out to steady the lantern, and it was as if Yin Zhiqing had only just reacted. She said, "Do you think I would believe your nonsense? Our Yin Household has been living in Yunzhong for many years, how could we possibly have a feud with Duke Su? Yin Zhili kidnapping you was his fault, but that's no reason for you to slander our family!"
"What other reason is needed?" Jiang Li said indifferently. "The mere fact that the Yin Household left Yanjing is reason enough. Even if the Yin Household did not harm Jih Heng, does it mean they never harmed Jih Heng's family? I wouldn't be so sure."
