Dongxiang comforted her, saying, "What is there to be afraid of? Our Miss was only acting to protect the Princely Heir's good name. She struck out in a moment of desperation. It was Fifth Miss Wei who was spouting such nonsense. Lady Wei won't side with her. It'll be fine."
Hearing her say this, Shuang'er breathed a sigh of relief.
'After all, Dongxiang was a servant of the estate and had been assigned to their Miss's side by Lady Wei herself. With her speaking up for their Miss, Lady Wei wouldn't form a bad impression of her just because of Wei Jinyi's provocations.'
Zhi Wan was not the least bit worried that her aunt would find out she had struck Wei Jinyi.
'She had done it under the banner of protecting her cousin's reputation; her aunt would never blame her for that.'
As for Wei Jinyi...
'Her aunt was already tired of her.'
'Now she had the perfect reason to send her away.'
