"Report what? We have failed to protect Lord Mu. The marquis loves Lady Yuan so much, for sure we will pay with our lives! So, we better quickly run away. Managing to escape for one day more is an additional day to stay alive! Once we go back, we will have no way of coming back out again!"
"Ever since Lady Yuan has entered the manor, all the loyal ministers in the marquis' manor have been sentenced to death due to slander. Even the marchioness has died just because she had given Lady Yuan a slap. Do you think we still have any reason to stay in this kind of place?"
