"The lamp is lit with peanut oil? Using food in such a wasteful way is a crime too, Nanny!" Xiao'er glanced at the nanny on the sightseeing boat.
The strong aroma of peanut oil was undeniable!
The nanny on the sightseeing boat was at a loss for words! The Imperial Court forbade using edible oils like peanut oil for lighting lamps!
Those who used edible oils for such purposes, if caught, would have their taxes doubled!
If she denied that it was peanut oil, then it would mean attempted murder!
How should she explain it?
In order to avoid paying a large amount of extra taxes per year, the nanny had no choice but to say:
"How would I use peanut oil to light the lamp! I don't know who spilled this oil."
"Do you have any other explanation?" Xiao'er turned to Fang Wanping.
"We truly fell into the water by accident. It's late, and the sightseeing boat where the Princess is located is quite far from here. I'm sure the Princess must have seen wrongly!"
