"Mother, are you saying she knew about this all along?" Fury flared instantly in Wei Jiuzhao's eyes. "I knew it! How could she possibly..."
"She is the Eldest Princess, and your father is the General Zhenguo. If she had known about your father's affair with Bai Yingning, she would certainly have kept it hidden. For her, having your father land in trouble would bring only disadvantages and no benefits. I am more inclined to believe she was protecting you."
"Protecting us?" Wei Jiuzhao was stunned. "Mother, I have no ties to her. She didn't say a word before deciding to take me as her Imperial Son-in-law—and taking three at once, no less? A woman so fickle must be black-hearted."
