"Princess, please speak your mind. I will not listen to just one side of the story; I must at least hear your version as well." Madame Zeng nodded.
Yet this completely reasonable response immediately drew fierce objections from Gu Ruoxi and the others: "Now that both the human and physical evidence are right here, you still want to listen to her side? Isn't this blatant partiality?"
Madam Gu had not expected that anyone would still want to ask for explanations. She hurried forward, grabbed Madame Zeng's wrist, and said anxiously, "That's right, Madame Zeng! The evidence is all here now; is there really any need to keep asking questions? In my opinion, we should report this directly to His Majesty and have her thrown straight into a dungeon. If she truly has any grievances, it won't be too late to interrogate her once she's in a cell. I trust His Majesty will never wrong an innocent person!"
