He Tiantian's words not only infuriated Nanny Zhao but also reminded Marquis Pingnan.
It wasn't that what He Tiantian had said was particularly valuable, but the matter itself would be difficult to clarify if they tried to absolve Mrs. Zhang from any connection.
Nanny Zhao's defense was riddled with abnormality.
To argue that Nanny Zhao, out of loyalty and kindness, could not bear to see Mrs. Zhang's son sent to the Capital City as a hostage?
That might be the truth, but could it be said?
If it were to be said, where would that leave Nanny Zhao, Mrs. Zhang, and the entirety of Marquis Pingnan's Mansion in relation to the Saint, to the court?
It's essentially a roundabout way of accusing Emperor Chengtai and the entire court of targeting a child because of their wariness of Marquis Pingnan.
Nanny Zhao didn't openly discuss anything about hostages but kept talking about resolving worries for her master, taking the initiative.
