To get a taste of this gossip, she'd climb a mountain of blades and plunge into a sea of fire!

To salvage her dignity, Gao Shan sent someone to fetch the Heir of Marquis Wuyang.

"Nobody here is to leave. Once the Heir Apparent arrives, certain people will get what's coming to them."

The woman beside Gao Shan was utterly brazen, staring straight at the people from Jinyang Marquis's Residence. "Certain people had better not pull their heads into their shells!"
