At this, Zeitan stiffened, her smile finally cracking. This was the only weakness she was yet to conquer. "You've misunderstood me—"
"Misunderstood that you dare to steal my position or what?" Peizhi's laughter rang out again, bitter and biting. "You're nothing but a low-born wretch. Your mother was a homeless refugee my mother took pity on and took in. And how did she repay that kindness?" .
Peizhi's eyes burned with fury. "By seducing my father while my mother carried me in her womb. Your very existence is a stain on our family, a living reminder of betrayal."
Zeitan's breath caught in her throat. "I have no such intentions, sister. Father just allow me to have the maids ". She whispered, her voice trembling.
"And i only wanted to bring you something to cheer you. Look—" She lifted the rouge case higher. "Father brought this from the capital. It's the finest quality."
