She was determined to pick a fight with him, because he had used her as a spy before, causing her to be pelted with vegetable leaves and eggs by the people, and repeatedly threatening her on the city wall.

Yang Hua's forehead veins bulged as he cupped his hands and said, "I don't know why you say that, young lady?"
