Chu Jinling, being stared at by one elder and one junior, had no choice but to speak honestly, "Imperial Uncle isn't here, so all I've heard are rumors. Perhaps it's Prime Minister Zhuo marrying Lu Mian's cousin, stealing the one he loves most from his heart."
"The grudge of a stolen wife would be enough for Lu Mian to hate Zhuo Junli for years." Lin Sisi scratched behind her ear, "But does that mean Lu Mian has started to resent all women?
He obstructs all new reforms related to women. Just now, on my way back, I overheard palace attendants gossiping, saying Lu Mian dragged Leng Muling away, looking as if he couldn't wait to kill her."
"Lord Lu's personal affairs should have nothing to do with us. However, he is strongly opposing the new reforms now, and most of the civil officials in the court support him. If it's not handled properly, I fear Father Emperor will blame me."
Chu Heng pulled out a letter.
