Song Lianhe looked at the woman across from her. "First, I did not take your place. I introduced myself, and the townspeople present are all my witnesses. Don't you dare try to twist the facts with me—I'm not falling for that! Second, after I revealed my identity, Mrs. E immediately gave the plaque to me and solemnly asked me to clear her husband's name."
She sneered, "Now that everyone in Li Zong Pass is talking about this, you couldn't sit still, could you? Song Xilan, if you had even a shred of sincerity, I might have let you handle it. But you know exactly what you're really planning! This concerns another person's reputation. Don't imagine you can just show up and complain, and I'll let you get involved. You'd best go back where you came from and stop getting in your Imperial Aunt's way."
She waved her hand in disgust. "Da Xi, see our guest out."
"Yes!" Da Xi stepped forward. "Princess Consort Ling, if you please."
