There was no one aside them two inside the room, which made the young girl feel at ease and speak her mind. "I didn't believe my ears when I heard the general was accused for the Minister's death. Who would believe such a story?" She scoffed.
"What to expect? In this capital, everyone is always furthering their selfish agendas, the Wangs are no different. I just wish, they'd leave my Tengfei out of these issues." She moaned, almost already drunk.
Tingting sharply took the cup from the bed when her aunt wasn't looking and hid it under the bed.
"But aunt, if it wasn't the general that killed him, who do you think it could be?" The young girl asked, resting her head on her drunken auntie's lap.
