In this situation, it's inevitable to say that those involved are muddled.
Otherwise, if anyone was clear-headed, would they really expose another's wife's reputation in public and expect others to uphold justice for them? Isn't this akin to slapping oneself in the face?
The Heir Pei's words were merely polite platitudes, do you understand such formal talk? You truly wish to expand your influence with just some slight favor.
Otherwise, if a hat of moral deficiency is placed on the Young Lady, would Pei Mansion have face if this spreads?
This is the Young Lady granted marriage by the Emperor. Saying she lacks virtue not only slaps the Pei Mansion but also dares slap the Emperor's face; how can that be tolerated?
Thus, with matters escalating to this point, even if it's true, it must be feigned as false. Preserving the reputation of an insignificant Master or the Young Lady's reputation, it's easy to know the answer with just a thought.
