章 197: 118: What exactly is the relationship between these two people?_3

Shang Junyan nodded, "The Crown Prince is investigating the Salt Introduction Case, and to put Li Ji off guard, he requested that the imperial censors be sent to inspect the Two Rivers Salt Administration, thus diverting Li Ji's attention. We are working openly and the Crown Prince's men are working secretly. So I did not lie to you. I am genuinely here to assist the Crown Prince, though I am just a small underling now."

Having heard Shang Junyan's explanation, Su Xinyi felt that it made sense and finally slightly eased down, "Alright, I will trust you this time, you better not deceive me again, or else ... I will settle both old and new scores with you!"

Shang Junyan also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, feeling that when Su Xinyi had stared at his leg earlier, it made him a little uneasy.

"Would you like me to help?" Shang Junyan decided to offer a bit more goodwill since he had already revealed many things to her, so there was no harm in becoming more involved.
