The needle in Yun Xiangye's hand pierced her finger, causing blood to ooze out. She quickly covered her finger with a handkerchief and said, "In this peaceful and prosperous era, how could such a thing happen under the feet of the emperor?"
Yun Xiangye grew up in the remote Jiangnan area, and had never seen anyone bullying the common people by taking advantage of their power.
Who would have thought that such evil things would happen around the imperial city.
Gu Yan said, "It is precisely because of the situation under the rule of the country that such incidents occur so frequently. Human nature is greedy. Once one has power and influence, it is hard to guarantee that they will not harbor delusions and act arbitrarily, relying on the protection of the court."
Yun Xiangye said, "Then you must seek justice for the Qingming family."

Yun Xiangye was in no mood to embroider anymore. She sighed and said, "Fu Qianran is truly pitiful. Not only does she have a dandy cousin, but she also has a brother like this. I hope this doesn't affect her future."
