Jia Li abruptly ceased scolding Court Lady Xuan and swiftly turned around, her perplexity evident. "How did you manage to enter here?" Jia Li's confusion was palpable. She had explicitly forbidden Lee Xianwu from setting foot in the manor.

"The Crown Princess promised me yesterday. That's why I am here," Xianwu calmly said.
