The court in the wealthy capital was in turmoil, and ordinary people were gripped by unease. Tea houses and taverns were doing brisk business, while the young ladies behind their high walls naturally thought none of it had anything to do with them.
Close the door, stretch out on the bed, and keep storybooks and sunflower seeds within reach.
Yet Bai Li, an innocent girl who just wanted to lie flat, was repeatedly targeted. Bai Li was so furious her teeth hurt, her father was so anxious his hair turned white, and her younger daughter's marriage hadn't progressed at all. Her bad reputation, however, had already spread far and wide. Fortunately, Liu Xu stayed by her side.
What was she to do? What was she to do! Who could have guessed that Song Xianlang would appear out of nowhere?
Not only did he drag her into trouble, he even tried to take liberties with her. You lecher! You libertine! All looks, with a rotten heart!
Faced with all these accusations, Song Xian stood nearby with a dark look, pressing his right hand to his temple in utter exasperation. "Who exactly dragged whom into trouble first, and who tried to take liberties with whom first...?"
"The defense's complaint is invalid. Overruled!" Bai Li waved her hand grandly, then tossed a crooked imitation court order onto the desk where Song Xian was reviewing case files.
Song Xian helplessly scooped up the sparrow that had been pestering him and disrupting his work.
"Since the plaintiff is playing dirty, don't blame the defense for clinging to you until the end."
