Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess remained evasive, her expression one of utter disdain. It was as if she had "I hold neither Shen Yiru nor Madam Wang in any regard" written across her face.
Shen Yiru and Madam Wang naturally felt the Grand Princess's contempt. Madam Wang only wanted the Grand Princess to leave quickly and cared little for the manner of her apology. Shen Yiru, however, had no intention of letting her off so easily. She and her mother had been inexplicably attacked at Fahua Temple that day; had they not been secretly protected, the consequences would have been unthinkable. Before they had even had the chance to uncover the mastermind behind the assassins, the Emperor had ordered the Grand Princess to come and offer an apology. One did not need to think too hard to know that the person who had hired the killers was Princess Yanyao. The Emperor knew the truth, yet he still wished to spare Princess Yanyao’s life, which was why he had sent the Grand Princess to make amends.
If they let the matter rest without a clear explanation, and the Grand Princess simply dropped off a few cheap trinkets and left, then the lives of the Shen Family would be regarded as utterly worthless. If that were the case, Princess Yanyao would only become more unscrupulous in the future.
