Xu Yu hoarsely said, "My lord, I am innocent."
Lord Tang couldn't help but furrow his brow. He hadn't expected Xu Yu to be so stubborn, refusing to change her story even now.
He turned his head to look at Manbao. She wasn't looking at him but instead cast a glance at Xu Yu before casually pouring a cup of water from a small table nearby and placing it by her mouth, "Have some water."
Xu Yu glanced at Zhou Man, slightly lifted her head, and took a sip of water.
Seeing they were struggling to converse, Manbao simply set the pillow upright and helped Xu Yu sit up, though she wasn't very skilled at serving others, causing her hand to be a bit heavy.
Lord Tang continuously observed Xu Yu, noticing that although she furrowed her brow, she said nothing.
So she still feared pain, yet someone who feared pain remained silent even unto death after severe torture.
Lord Tang thoughtfully stared at the fine rain on her face.
