"Force? How to force? Your father used to play deaf and dumb, can he be forced to comply now?"
"That's because you don't understand him. He not only loves power, but also cares about face. That person said if he doesn't reveal it himself, it will spread all over the city. Then my father will turn into a coward who swallows his pride. Rather than that, it would be better for him to cause a commotion and gain sympathy and guilt from Your Majesty." Tong Chao explained.
"That person? Who is that person?" Ye Qiu asked.
"I don't know. What I know, I heard from my father when he was furious and drunk. He didn't say much, and I suspect even he doesn't know who that person is."
"It seems someone has stirred up trouble." Ye Qiu shook her head with a smile.
Xia Guang and Tong Chao both looked at her: "Do you know who it is?"
"Then think about it, how many people in the court have the ability to know the household affairs of the courtiers?" Ye Qiu retorted.
"Your Majesty?"
