The people in the family would probably hate her to death by then, how could they possibly come to rescue her?
"No, no, I... I just... I was just startled in the Hai Kuo Forest, that's why... I really didn't do it on purpose, not on purpose."
If she had known that Lin Caisang was favored by both the City Lord and Madam City Lord, how could she have dared to provoke her?
"Startled?"
Madam City Lord scoffed coldly, then looked up, gazing at the two guards who brought Ling Xue'er back.
Of course, she didn't believe that someone being startled could justify any action; if so, all criminals might as well claim to be startled.
"Reporting to Madam, the team that Ling Xue'er was part of did indeed encounter a demon attack in the Hai Kuo Forest." The guard looked at Madam City Lord, who was awaiting his report, and replied immediately.
However, he then glanced at Ling Xue'er with disdain, the contempt in his eyes becoming more evident.
