章 137: Luciana, Cassia And Liliana

Luciana, the name of a young lady that possessed both beauty and brain. Her sweet temperament and quick wit charmed countless men's hearts even without her trying to.

But...

Instead of falling in love with one of the men in her own ranks, she gave her heart to a peasant instead. The news not only enraged her own family but, caused a commotion in high society.

That was the beginning of her doom, or how one would interpret it.

"Luciana... Luna..."

"She'll always be my sister... who I've failed to protect."

"Lili... please forgive me..."

Liliana was blown over by the revelation. Unable to react, she could only listen to Old Madam Shen's regretful cries before her own tears spilled out of her eyes.

The two ladies were enveloped in their own sorrow.

At midnight, Old Madam Shen had long fallen asleep. Her condition seemed to be improving as she lay calmly on the bed. The wrinkles on her forehead softened.
