Su Xinyi knew she couldn't remain silent for too long, His Majesty's attitude made her hesitate, but she could not afford to be suspected even more.
For a moment, Su Xinyi didn't have any good ideas. She initially had a plan, but after sensing His Majesty's attitude, she felt the need to make a change.
"Father Emperor, your daughter-in-law truly doesn't know what to do, and that's why I've come to seek your help," said Su Xinyi, compelled to act given the circumstance. After much thought, she realized that the Emperor was not someone who could easily be fooled, so she decided to tell the truth. "The Su Family has neither grudges nor entanglements with the Ji family, so I truly don't understand why Assistant Minister Ji would make things difficult for the Zhao family."
Who stands behind Assistant Minister Ji, and what his ultimate purpose is, even if Xin Yi has guessed, she can't speak of it now.
She must let His Majesty investigate.
