Provincial Governor Residence, Yuan Family.
Madam Yuan helped Governor Yuan out of his official robe, hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, "I heard that the Yan Family has a close relationship with the Prince Residence of Ping. Father having arrested Magistrate Yan, could it possibly offend that highness?"
Governor Yuan looked utterly unconcerned, "Xiao Yeyang might be considered of noble status in the eyes of local officials, but our Yuan Family has the backing of the Noble Consort and the Fifth Prince, and the Second Princess. Why should we fear him?"
Madam Yuan, "One shouldn't speak so lightly. After all, he is a member of the Imperial Family; it's not good to fall out too severely."
Governor Yuan let out a cold snort, "I arrested Yan Zhigao according to the rules. He lost the military provisions; even if this were brought before the Emperor himself, I wouldn't be afraid."
After saying this, seeing Madam Yuan seemed about to say more, he grew somewhat impatient.
