The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice left the Duke Mansion, giving a signal with his eyes to the follower behind him.
The follower then wandered onto the bustling street.
An acquaintance came up and asked, "Where are you coming from?"
The follower told him about the case investigated at the Duke Zhen's Mansion, where a maid was silenced after poisoning.
One person told ten, and ten told a hundred.
By the time it reached Princess Nanzhang's ears, the story had already changed.
Princess Nanzhang was furious when she heard it.
She slammed the table, glaring at the little maid who delivered the message, "Say it again!"
The maid trembled, "O-outside, they're all saying it was you, Commandery Princess, who ordered the maid to poison the Eldest Young Master and Eldest Young Madam, and then killed to silence them..."
Princess Nanzhang, unstable with anger, gritted her teeth, "Call the Eldest Young Madam over here!"
