In the crowd, a woman sneered, "Talking so nicely, but to put it bluntly, Lady Li also bullies the weak and fears the strong."
Lady Li was taken aback and asked, "Why do you speak of me like this?"
The woman replied, "Isn't it true? You don't want to offend anyone? Listen to how nice you sound, but before, how did you fight back and forth with Madam Wang?"
Lady Li retorted, "How can someone like Madam Wang, with her background, compare to us?"
"That's why, Lady Li, you are just approaching Madam Situ for her status, speaking so grandiosely about not wanting to offend. I see you as just a double-dealing person."
It seems the woman speaking was straightforward, saying whatever was on her mind.
Hearing these words, Lady Li's expression changed, but she held it back and said nothing.
Among the women present, most had better family situations than hers. Two were even daughters of her father's superiors, so she dared not offend them.
