Su Shunqing was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Tang Xiaobai with surprise.
However, since he was sent to the Imperial Academy in the Capital City, he naturally couldn't be stumped by a child.
He quickly concealed his astonishment, clasped his hands and apologized to Tang Xiaobai: "It was my mistake in speaking, Second Miss Tang has suffered greatly, and of course the Duke Yan Mansion is innocent—" Then, shifting his tone slightly with a smile, "However, the Zhenzhou Imperial Court is established by the Governor of Zhenzhou and Prince Changshan, and is a public office. Surely General Zhao wouldn't search the Capital Prefecture and Wannian County without orders, would he?"
This comparison was spot on.
Tang Xiaobai closed her mouth in satisfaction.
Why drag the Duke Yan Mansion into this mess without reason? And she even brought Pingyang Princess to stir things up.
