Li Xueyue did not believe she had it in her to be this evil. But there were some things that could never be forgiven. This time, Lady Ge Beining had crossed all the lines. There was no going back now.
Tongues wagged and news about what happened to Lady Ge Beining spread far and wide in the palace. Servants passing by would stop and stare in sheer horror and anticipation. It was such a bewildering scene that they could hardly believe their eyes. They blinked and rubbed their eyes and doubted their vision.
Lady Ge Beining was in tears. It was the first time anyone had ever seen her shed tears which glistened like crystals. They witnessed her choked sobs, her trembling shoulders, it was an unbelievable sight.
Their eyes roamed to the Crown Princess, who was now viewed in a different light.
"Did you hear?" someone whispered. "The Crown Princess believes Lady Ge Beining should be punished for running away from the intruders."
