102. Chapter 101 Multifaceted

Prince Jin has been confined!

When Prince Jin, in a fit of anger, smashed a subordinate official to death, the Night Patrol Office quietly went after the officials under Prince Jin; without much talk, they reported all of Prince Jin's illicit deeds over the years.

When these accusations and evidence were presented before Emperor Xihe, Emperor Xihe directly took them and went to the Retired Emperor.

Seeing this solid evidence, even the Retired Emperor had no reason to protect Prince Jin.

Plotting to murder the Crown Prince!

Just this charge alone means Prince Jin cannot have any good outcome.

"So, this matter is temporarily considered settled, right!"

Hearing the truth of the matter from Princess Huanxi's mouth, Shen Yunyao also let out a sigh of relief.

"Probably, right!"

"The emperor and the empress are still discussing what compensation to give you, Qi Jiejie!"

"Oh, right, I heard that the quick uncovering of the truth this time was thanks to that guy Xie Zian stepping in!"

"Really didn't expect that guy to be so lucky!"

When Princess Huanxi mentioned Xie Zian, she was full of resentment. Even though Xie Zian performed excellently, to her it was all luck.

"Zhenzhen, do you think it could be that Xie Zian himself is very smart and capable?"

Although Shen Yunyao does not know well what kind of person Xie Zian is, in Shen Yunyao's view, Xie Zian's ability to rescue Cuiyu so quickly, to expose the mastermind Prince Jin so swiftly, and to have Prince Jin's subordinates betray Prince Jin could not possibly be due to mere luck.

"Qi Jiejie, impossible!"

"Xie Zian and I grew up together from childhood."

"That guy was mischievous since childhood, bullying people one after another; you say he's smart, how could that be?"

"If you say he's good-looking, I admit it."

"If you say something else, I don't believe it!"

Princess Huanxi, after hearing Shen Yunyao's words, firmly refused to accept it.

Seeing this, Shen Yunyao said no more.

It's not that she is unwilling to speak for Xie Zian, but she saw that Princess Huanxi's subjective impression of Xie Zian is too deep, and trying to change such a subjective impression is too difficult.

Since that's the case, why waste the effort?

Moreover, the one who will marry Xie Zian is her; as long as Princess Huanxi's assessment of Xie Zian is not swayed, any outcome is fine.

"Qi Jiejie, you don't believe me?"

"Good sister, this is not a matter of belief!"

Seeing Princess Huanxi trying to argue with her, Shen Yunyao quickly explained, "Look at that artificial hill; from our direction it has one shape, but if you view it from another position, it has another shape."

"Similarly, a person appears one way in some people's eyes and another way in others' eyes."

"When judging people or things, you must look from multiple aspects!"

After expressing her view, Shen Yunyao said no more, believing Princess Huanxi would certainly understand this principle.

"I get it!"

Princess Huanxi nodded, "Fine, let's not talk about Xie Zian; whatever he is, it cannot affect the bond between us sisters!"

"Yes, that's what I mean too!"

Shen Yunyao smiled faintly, "But, once I, the elder sister, marry Xie Zian, you, little sister, must not speak ill of Xie Zian in front of me again!"

"Why?"

"Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog!"

"If I marry Xie Zian, I will no longer be simply Shen Yunyao, but a member of the Xie-Shen family, with the responsibility and duty to uphold my husband's reputation."

Sorry, I still couldn't update much today; too many trivial matters, it's the New Year, everyone understands!
