Li Yangsong's words left Princess Yongping breathless for a moment.
If she herself is indeed the culprit, and it eventually gets uncovered, wouldn't these words force her to plead guilty before the Empress?
Lou Zhao may not have said it outright, but his insinuations were enough for her!
Just then, Fu Zhen walked over and said, "Mr. Li, didn't you see the Princely Heir's wife here? Although Princess Yongping is a relative of the Princely Heir's wife, Mr. Liu is her cousin, too. She must balance this matter fairly. Why not let the Princely Heir's wife adjudicate this case?"
Li Yangsong finally showed some discernment and respectfully cupped his hands toward Mrs. Zhang at the guest seat: "Please, Princely Heir's wife, give us your guidance."
Since Mrs. Zhang was already there, how could she refuse?
If she continued to evade, it would give people ammunition to say that she disregarded even her relatives to secure her position at Prince Rong's Mansion.
