"It is possible to send a message, but I fear Xi Guipin might not act," Ah Yuan frowned. "I shouldn't say this, but as we've observed over the years, Xi Guipin... she's indeed steady."
"Yes, she is steady. But if... the news reaches her, can she really remain unmoved? Might she also spread the news?" Ye Zao's fingernail lightly scraped the pattern on her sleeve. "Do you think she might throw it back at me?"
"You're right, Master. In Xi Guipin's eyes, you might be the top person to deal with," Ah Yuan frowned. "If that's the case, our efforts would be in vain."
"I think she has another enemy, doesn't she? This time, Hongfen is in trouble, and it involves Hongyun. The Empress Dowager will surely be blamed by His Majesty. It's said that Noble Lady Yu's pair of twins are very healthy. Could they be a thorn in her side too?"
