However, if Cai Yan were to make such unwarranted comments about the imperial family, it would certainly give others ammunition to criticize her.
Hearing her father's scolding, Cai Yan pouted and muttered defiantly, "That's just the kind of person he is, and he won't even let people talk about it?"
"If I could meet him in person, I would definitely give him a good scolding!"
