But Gongyang Ying's eyes widened with fury as she said resentfully, "Just because you wanted to send out the Thousand-year-old White Ginseng, you killed Gong Bei Qiang and put our Imperial Advisor Mansion on the rack over the fire?"
Her voice was almost a roar, devoid of any empathy.
In response, Sikong Jing replied with a cold laugh, "What's the problem? If you don't want the Imperial Advisor Mansion to be put on the rack by me, then you shouldn't be monitoring me. Just let me smoothly send the item out, and all will be well, won't it?"
In other words, monitoring me and having designs on the Thousand-year-old White Ginseng comes with a price.
Sikong Jing's words left Gongyang Ying at a loss for words.
Still, unable to let it go, she retorted, "So are you saying that it's our fault that you harmed the Imperial Advisor Mansion?"
"There is no right or wrong, only a mutual lack of trust between us."
