"The Emperor's decree clearly states that our family's children lack discipline. I... am I unjustly accused!" Xu Zhili said angrily.
Mr. Zhou and the Zhou siblings were also blaming Zhou Xiulin in the same manner.
Not long after, the entire capital knew about the Emperor and Empress issuing a decree reprimanding Xu Xiuyu and Zhou Xiulin because of Fu Shinian.
Among the three, only Lin Qingqing managed to evade it, as she was cautious enough. She allowed Xu Xiuyu and Zhou Xiulin to talk without stopping them but never spread rumors about Fu Shinian and Xiao Chengyu herself.
She also wanted the rumors about Fu Shinian to spread further through Xu Xiuyu and Zhou Xiulin's words.
Lin Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that their matters wouldn't affect the Emperor and Empress's impression of her.
In recent days, Lin Qingqing dared not visit Xu Xiuyu.
Afraid that the Emperor and Empress might find out about her close relationship with Xu Xiuyu and blame her as well.
