Her eyes were filled with resentment. "That vicious woman Fu Ling is harboring evil intentions. She might be using Fu Rongxin to do something shameful. We must quickly arrange our own people in the Xue Mansion. Otherwise, before long, I'm afraid that the Xue Mansion will truly be ruled by Fu Ling alone!"
