Lady Wei was still fuming when she left Old Madam Wei's residence.
But when she turned and saw Zhi Wan's worried expression, her anger vanished. She took Zhi Wan's hand and said, "Don't dwell on it. That Lady Xu has always been one to exaggerate. Don't be afraid. We're here for you. No matter how powerful the Crown Prince is, he wouldn't dare do anything too outrageous."
Zhi Wan had been worried that her aunt would think poorly of her after hearing what Lady Xu said. Seeing now that her aunt was unaffected, she finally felt relieved.
She didn't really care what others thought of her. As long as her aunt and cousin believed in her and stood by her side, that was enough.
But the thought of the Crown Prince still filled her with dread.
She didn't know what kind of person the Crown Prince was, but as the heir to the throne, his power was surely immense. For him to have acted so audaciously at the Wei Family estate today, he must have been sure of his impunity.
