"Lord Xu, do you think Fan Chengzhuo really knew nothing about what Zheng Baosu was doing?"
Watching Fan Chengzhuo walk away, one of the men couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Xu Fengchi was noncommittal. "Whether he knew or not, the truth will come to light soon enough. Since he's acting so confident, we'll just have to wait and see."
'If they were truly unrelated, how could everyone at court be completely unaware of their connection?'
If Xu Fengchi hadn't announced it in public, leaving Fan Chengzhuo no room to deny it, few would have believed the two of them were actually related by blood.
But this was for the best.
Now, no matter how the investigation proceeded, Fan Chengzhuo would have no excuse to obstruct it.
He would have to lay everything bare for scrutiny!
"In any case, that Fan's attitude is far too arrogant!" another man scoffed disdainfully. "Does he still think he's a third-rank official?"
Xu Fengchi just smiled.
