"If I'm beaten with the board, I'll never be able to deliver it on time. When that happens and I've offended Miss Bai, are you prepared to bear the consequences when she comes looking for someone to blame?"
Mu Wan Yun said, "Right now, Miss Bai is just a concubine. Even if she becomes one of the masters, she still has to abide by the Palace Bureau's rules. You should hurry and accept your punishment. Don't make me go find Wang Sizheng..."
