Second Madam Xie frowned and hastily read on.
Xie Yuanjiu had written in the letter:
[Mother, Uncle despises it when you associate with that crowd of riffraff from the city, especially the likes of Divine Women and their supernatural nonsense. If he finds out that you not only consorted with a Divine Woman but also used Evil Magic to curse someone, he and Father will absolutely never forgive you!]
Reading these words, Second Madam Xie's heart leaped into her throat.
Panic and anxiety began to set in.
She continued to read.
Xie Yuanjiu wrote:
[Uncle is the Prime Minister. What you've done will likely reach his ears soon. Rather than wait for him to find out and condemn you, it's better to strike first. I've thought about it, and there is only one way to help you.]
[The only way is to shift the blame for this onto Shen Ningning. Since she is so deeply favored by Uncle, he won't blame her even if he suspects something is amiss.]
