"Spared?" Jin Fengzhao sneered, "This woman thinks she's above everyone, bumping into me in my own palace. If I spared her, wouldn't that mean any random Tom, Dick, or Harry could disrespect me? Do you think I would not punish you, too, you lowly maidservant, if you test me?"
Pale-faced, Auntie Li addressed Gu Youyou, "Auntie Li, thank you, but pleading with such a person is futile. Youyou has caused trouble; please don't get involved, Auntie Li, lest you get dragged down with me."
Auntie Li looked at Gu Youyou worriedly and dared not speak further.
Gu Youyou's words had enraged Jin Fengzhao, her face turning a shade of iron blue. She slapped Gu Youyou across the face, cursing, "A lowly female doctor dares to speak to me in such a way? Hmph, as for a reason, don't say you offended me today; even if you had said nothing at all, since when does my judgment require a reason? I can punish whomever I wish without justification. Take her away."
