章節 1201: Public Execution

Xia Yunlou was the first to come back to her senses. She pretended to be calm and replied, "Madam Ye, Miss Ye, I'm really sorry that we couldn't attend Miss Ye's birthday banquet. Mengyan and I returned to Shengdu and couldn't rush back in time. My father reject some banquets on our behalf, so the moment the two of us came back, we wanted to relay our apologies to you!

"What Madam Ye just said has nothing to do with us. We haven't been in Li City for the past two days. How could I have framed my daughter? As for being detained, that's even more nonsense. I hope everyone won't make wild guesses!"

Xia Yunlou's tone was serious, but her gaze was lacking in confidence. Her breathing was slightly trembling, but she had to deny it and warn everyone not to make wild guesses.

The eyes of the noblewomen and their daughters were filled with disdain. If they did not know, they might really believe Xia Yunlou's words.
