Chapter 354: Qiao Xi Shows Her Mettle for the First Time!

Qiao Xi's eyes flickered, and she furrowed her brows slightly.

What on earth did Young Master Zhong's assistant say to Xiang Mingzhu that actually made her agree to honor her promise?

Could it be some sort of vow?

Qiao Xi looked up at Xiang Mingzhu, who stood on the platform, her face the picture of righteousness, yet the details betrayed her inner humiliation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will not flee from battle,"

Xiang Mingzhu declared aloud, "Since I've lost, I will honor my commitment."

A tide of humiliation surged in her heart, with myriad resentments hidden deep within. It was all Qiao Xi's fault, leading her to this situation!

Her fingernails cut deeply into the flesh of her palms.

Once those words were spoken, she would surely face the punishment of the Lu Family of the Imperial Capital. Even if Lu Bannong was her maternal uncle, she would not escape it.

Those close to her understood that Lu Bannong detested most when others said he was inferior to Cheng Han.
