27 Pitiness of Ms. Gu (1/2)
Rong Che shifted his gaze and looked at Rong Yan. He was swinging the letter and sighed, ”This is indeed a hot potato (a difficult task). Do you believe in me, brother?”
Rong Yan smiled forcefully, ”Of course! However, I’m worried that the evil person would be able to forge my handwriting perfectly and I’ll be framed! No matter what, please believe that I have never written such a letter…”
Rong Che fiddled with his fan again and said, ”Now I know that you don’t trust me. Fine, let’s pass it to the prime minister to have a look. I believe you trust him, don’t you?”
He pretended to keep the letter into his sleeve while talking to Rong Yan.
Rong Yan was panicking.
The prime minister of Feixing kingdom was well known for his selflessness and also as an expert in calligraphy. He would definitely be able to distinguish the writing if he had received the letter!
If that happens, the fact that he had indeed set a trap for Gu Xijiu would be revealed. Besides that, if the department of central intelligence was involved in the case, his secret lover and the fact he cheated on Gu Xijiu would be exposed! The bigger issue would be that he might even be criticized by the citizens, of using such a stupid method to set a trap for his fiancé...
Other than the ladies who came for the show, most of them were experienced officers.
Everyone knew the truth by observing the reaction of Rong Yan and accessing the incident earlier.
Master Hu looked at Rong Yan and felt ashamed for him. He could not imagine how the twelfth prince could bring himself to commit such an evil mistake just to annul the engagement.
Although it was fairly obvious, they could not disregard the reputation and the image of the royal family.
