Upon hearing that the maid had been turned into wax, her expression froze.
But it quickly returned to normal.
Human sacrifice was not uncommon in this era, and although the Pei family was cruel, she considered it nothing more than commonplace.
Pei Jianzhi's smile remained unchanged.
"Even if he is the Duke of Zhenguo, so what? In the end, he still had to slink away in disgrace when facing the dignified Pei family!"
"Even if he reports this to His Majesty, the Pei family is not afraid."
"In the end, it will only be Mu Zi'an who brings shame upon himself."
Pei Jianzhi laughed loudly, but Lu Yunxue's face showed no sign of a smile.

Pei Jianzhi was taken aback, his eyes darkening, but he still gritted his teeth and said.
"Alright, Xue'er, you've also suffered a sudden calamity these past few days. It's good for you to rest more. I'll come see you again tomorrow."
After saying this, Pei Jianzhi turned and left.
As Lu Yunxue watched Pei Jianzhi's retreating figure, a sense of unease rose within her.
