The situation at Prince Rong's Mansion was quite tumultuous, and things were not much better at the Zhang Family. Even though the Emperor's envoys did not explicitly mention any charges, the guilty conscience of those involved was evident. There were several reasons why the people from Prince Rong's Mansion were summoned to the palace for questioning, but if Zhang Shicheng was also summoned, there could only be one issue at hand!
Over the years, Prince Rong has shown countless favoritism towards Zhang Shicheng, often without regard for Princess Rong. All these signs indicated that the Baiyu Lane case was indeed significant to Prince Rong!
Even if Zhang Shicheng did not know who Yang Zhan had killed, now that the Emperor had begun directly placing blame, the charges could not possibly be minor!
The entire Zhang Family was filled with trepidation and anxiety, as if they had lost a parent, yet had to conceal their emotions for fear of revealing any tell-tale signs.
