Amidst her chaotic thoughts, she spent the whole night awake until dawn, only to discover that her half-sister had ordered her followers to secretly bring some Qingshan County residents to the inn, leading to the current scenario!
She had no affection towards Fang Mingyue; memories of the latter's severity and harshness from childhood made her cold towards this sister, even harboring some suppressed emotions. She could have pretended to know nothing and waited for the newly returned Brother Chen to Qingshan County, whose character would surely make Fang Mingyue regret her actions.
But she didn't harbor such dark thoughts, and wouldn't allow her dim ideas to make these Qingshan County residents suffer at her sister's hands. If something happened, she wouldn't be herself.
"Little sister, since breaking through the Heavenly Pass, you really have grown bolder."
"What I, Fang Mingyue, decide to do is not your place to lecture."
