Zhong Jiayuan's smile had long since vanished, and he asked his close confidant in a grave tone, "Do you think it's better for Tang Fei to be suspected or to be free of suspicion?"
Zhao Xizhi hesitated, then quickly replied, "It's better to be without suspicion, better without suspicion..."
If Tang Fei were suspected, they would have to take action against him.
This would inevitably offend Her Highness the Princess and Great Grandmaster Xuanyuan Mingjing, and now the Finance Minister's daughter...
Although this was in service to the nation, why did it have to be them doing it?
Others might take action, but Zhong Jiayuan himself did not want to get involved.
Besides, they had already cleared Tang Fei of suspicion in the afternoon and refused to search his house.
If they decided in the evening that Tang Fei was indeed harboring an assassin, then they would be committing dereliction of duty.
