Chen Sheng didn't believe a single word of Yu Nanzhi's nonsense.
'It's really true what they say: the more beautiful a woman, the better she can lie.'
If it weren't for his Celestial Book's power of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, and the fact that the Heir of Prince Xiang, Zhao Chengxiang, had already admitted it, anyone else might have actually been deceived.
But since she was spouting nonsense, Chen Sheng certainly wasn't going to indulge her.
'Come up with a good excuse and explain it to the court and the Emperor!'
"Er..."
At Chen Sheng's words, Yu Nanzhi's expression changed, and she hurriedly spoke:
"Lord Chen, this matter... this matter... could you perhaps not report it?"
"Why?"
Chen Sheng feigned surprise:
"Since Prince Xiang's Mansion is innocent, of course I must report it. We'll let the court investigate thoroughly. That way, they can clear Prince Xiang's Mansion's name, don't you think, Princess Consort?"
