"That's utter nonsense!" Lu Zhixue shot to her feet, pointing right at the palace maid's face, on the verge of shouting a stream of curses. "Why would anyone from Song Zhaoyi's retinue want to frame Huang Mingxiu? If you want to accuse someone, you at least need a plausible reason! It's obvious a wretch like you was bribed to deliberately frame her!"
Song Yunzhao was surprised. She hadn't expected Lu Zhixue to defend her in public. 'Huh, what a strange feeling.'
Han Jinyi also stood up at once. She scanned the crowd and spoke slowly, "Sixth Miss Huang and Song Zhaoyi have never met and have no connection. Even if her sister-in-law could barely be said to have some relation to Song Zhaoyi, after Song Zhaoyi entered the capital, she never had any interaction with this Young Madam of the Marquis Yongjia Mansion. For someone she's never crossed paths with to suddenly become a victim... this is truly absurd."
