The surrounding townspeople, along with Manager Wen and Wen Xiaoman, were all stunned.
The Ping City garrison commander bowed low, utterly deferential toward Mo Lingwei and Shen Ningning.
Wiping the sweat beading on his forehead, he said with a fawning smile, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you moved so quickly that I almost couldn't keep up. Thankfully, I arrived in time. Her Highness the Princess hasn't been wronged, has she?"
Seeing his uncle-in-law's attitude, Lord Ma finally realized this was no act.
'He'd actually gotten on the wrong side of a princess!'
'In the entire Cangyun Country, who else could it be but Princess Funing?'
Lord Ma's knees went weak, and he fell to the ground with a THUD. The magistrate scrambled to kneel beside him, both of them trembling in terror.
