When Wanyun heard Wei Mingsang's words, she recalled how strangely Bai Jingran and Prime Minister Bai had acted when they first met her.
Wanyun said to Mu Wanruo, "So you really *were* pushed off the cliff by Bai Jingran!
No wonder she acted like we had some deep-seated grudge the moment she saw me. She was determined to have me killed. She must have thought I was you back then."
Mu Wanruo had also heard about Bai Jingran harming Wanyun. She turned to Wei Mingsang and said:
"Wei Mingsang, are you still denying that you and Bai Jingran are in this together? Wasn't hurting me once enough for the two of you? Do you want to take my sister's life, too?"
Wei Mingsang felt deeply wronged. "Wanruo, I can swear to the heavens that I have never had any feelings for Bai Jingran!
Besides, the Bai Family is bent on producing an Empress, and Bai Jingran has always had her heart set on His Majesty. Why would she ever be interested in me? Isn't it possible you've misunderstood?"
