Yun Yuqing couldn't help but grab her hand and exclaim, "Manman, you really are on the same wavelength as him."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Among those present, Pei Mianman was probably the one who had spent the most time with Zu An and knew him best. Since she said so, it was probably true.
Most of them weren't that familiar with Chu Chuyan, but looking at Pei Mianman, they secretly admired her; she truly had the air of a first wife.
At first, the women all had their own thoughts, perhaps even feelings of comparison and jealousy, but now, united by a common enemy, they had long since put those aside and were eager for their sisters to become as powerful as possible.
...
While the women were filled with worry, Zu'an had already been taken to the palace.
The Demon Lord sat on a high chair, with a three-headed bird prostrate before him. His hand gently stroked the three heads, his gaze sharply fixed on Zaun.

The Demon Lord laughed and said, "That makes some sense. You may all step back. I want to hear what Donal has to say to me."
Upon hearing his order, the other demon envoys, though unwilling, dared not say anything more, bowed, and withdrew one by one.
Once only the two of them remained in the palace, the Demon Lord said, "Now you can speak."
“I didn’t kill Steward Pi,” Zuan said quickly.
The Demon Lord remained expressionless: "If that's all you wanted to say, then I'm truly disappointed."
“Of course not…” Zuan’s next words made the Demon Lord’s expression change instantly.
