The atmosphere in the hall turns dense and cold as Madam Jin advances, her spine straight as a blade, aristocratic disdain etched into every line of her frame. Her eyes, sharp and analytical, lock onto you, a gaze that commands the very air to still. With a voice like frozen clarity, she lays out her lineage: wife of Jin Guangshan, mother of Zixuan. She enumerates her connections to the clan's shadowed corners—stepmother to Guangyao and the others—and declares her blood ties to Jiang Yanli and Jin Ling. Her tone is a wall, permitting no interruption and accepting no disrespect.
