Chu Xi was intimidated by her chilly aura, almost losing her grip in fear.
Thankfully, before she could unconsciously let go, she realized that if she did, she would be completely finished. It was only at the last moment that she shivered and managed not to release her hold.
Desperately pleading.
"Madam, I know I was wrong; I truly acknowledge my mistake. Please don't be angry with me. I'll never do it again."
"Do you think Li Shengxiao is someone you can just get your hands on? You're far too bold. I never expected you to use me to get close to him. What reaction did you think I would have after you told me you had relations with him? To speak on your behalf? To go to Li Shengxiao in anger and pressure him to 'bless your union'? Did you think I was going to give you a dowry like I was marrying off a daughter?"
Chu Xi weakly defended herself, "I didn't."
