Xie Anjun's greatest fear had come to pass.
But he hadn't expected the Eldest Princess to be the one to strike first, and for a moment, he couldn't react.
"I... I didn't..."
The Eldest Princess found it amusing. "At a time like this, you can't possibly think you can still get away clean, can you?"
Xie Anjun was speechless, burning with anxiety.
The Eldest Princess's next words sent a chill through his heart.
"If your father were still alive, he would not wish to see you make such a grave mistake."
As if plunged into an icy cavern, Xie Anjun stiffly raised his head. He met the Eldest Princess's all-seeing eyes and felt an involuntary shudder of fear.
The Eldest Princess seemed to recall something else and tilted her head slightly.
"Oh, right. Go and ask Jia Yi to come over. As it happens, she has a few things she'd like to say as well."
"Yes."
Zhuxin acknowledged the order and quickly withdrew.
A short while later, a familiar set of footsteps could be heard approaching.
