Desiring wealth over life, Lady Yao clenched her teeth tightly, shamelessly refusing to admit anything.
"I don't care, what's gone is gone!"
Xia Tingfeng said calmly, "Lady Yao, are you certain you want to deny it? Don't you have a guilty conscience?"
Lady Yao swallowed hard, standing her ground forcefully and righteously. "Deny? How have I denied anything! That item was a reward bestowed by the Emperor, given to both me and the Old Master! Is there any doubt about that? Besides, the Emperor's word is as precious as gold; when he gives a reward, would he ever take it back? It must be you! You see others cursing my husband and me, and you come to loot us amidst the fire..."
"Old Master!" Lady Yao grew more and more aggrieved as she spoke.
Old Master Xia became furious and slammed the table. "Enough!! That gold and Silver originally belonged to Tingfeng, and it should be returned to him!"
