"Really?" Concubine Xian chuckled, "But I heard that your nephew took advantage of you and did a lot of wrong things."
"Could it be that you don't know about so many things?"
"Then you, as the county magistrate, have also failed in your duties."
"Why don't you tell me what you're busy with? You don't know anything at all."
County Magistrate Yin: ...He didn’t expect that Empress Xian was not someone who could be easily fooled.
Concubine Liang:!!!
Can I still ask this?
Just now, when she heard him say that he didn't know, she really believed it...
I didn't expect there were so many twists and turns here.
Concubine Liang took a piece of cake to calm herself down. No wonder her father always said that her brain was not suitable for officialdom. Now she understood what her father meant.
"I've failed in my duty." County Magistrate Yin smiled bitterly. "I've been patrolling everywhere lately out of consideration for the people."
"If you don't believe me, you can go check it out!"
"But this matter is indeed my fault for being negligent. Fortunately, no one has died. Otherwise, I would be very guilty!"

"He did this to protect himself. Failure to do his job is one punishment, and allowing his nephew to abuse his power is another. He simply chose the lighter of the two punishments."
Empress Xian explained to her.
Concubine Liang: My head is starting to hurt.
Oh my, this is really not what she should hear.
"I'm really suited to reading comic books, without having to use my brain."
Empress Xian and the others looked at each other and laughed.
"But will his nephew be willing to acknowledge everything?"
Concubine Liang muttered.
"That... I don't know." Empress Xian's eyes deepened slightly. She was afraid that even if he didn't want to admit it, he would have to admit it.
