"Oh?" Lu Qing's tone carried skepticism, "Now that you are Li Wencai's concubine, you should naturally understand that your fate is intertwined with his; you share in both his glory and his downfall.
Currently, Li Wencai is the County Magistrate of Qingshui County, allowing you to live peacefully in this grand mansion.
If I truly convict him, do you know what will happen to you?"
"I know!" Zhu Qiaoyun, initially sorrowful, straightened up immediately upon hearing Lu Qing mention her intertwined fate with Li Wencai. "From the day he forcefully dragged me into his household, I never expected a peaceful end!
He not only caused the death of my Zhou, but also had his rogues harass my parents daily, eventually forcing them to leave Taiping County. As of now, I don't even know where they are, whether they are alive or dead.
He wishes for me to sever all ties and devote myself entirely to pleasing him, but I refuse!
