Xia Wenjin felt a slight chill in her heart; Huangfu Yuxuan was still unscrupulous in achieving his goals.
Now she could fully determine that there must be some secret about her that Huangfu Yuxuan was determined to uncover. That's why he would abandon ladies of high standing but persistently entangle with her.
With Huangfu Yuxuan's character of never acting without profit, it was clear the secret she held was greater than the backing of those ladies, and worth the risk of angering the Emperor!
What could it be?
People are bewildered by the unknown, fearful because of the unknown.
Xia Wenjin felt confusion too, but she decided to uncover the answer herself.
As for Huangfu Yuxuan deliberately tarnishing her reputation, she found it disgusting, but didn't take it to heart. Huangfu Yuxuan was maliciously manipulative, thinking such a method would force her to go along with it?
Impossible.
