After Li Tiao finished speaking, mixing truth and falsehood, she waited for the Fourth Prince's reaction. She thought she had really done her best, as most of her experience dealing with princes came from TV dramas or novels she had watched in modern times.
She possesses a wealth of theoretical knowledge, but now it's time to put that knowledge to the test.
"Heh, I was right when I said you were clever. You've made the most of the dead."

The Fourth Prince laughed: "You think you're so smart? I can't ask Granny Liu, but I can ask your maid Chunxi, right? She wouldn't happen to be one of the Eighth Prince's people, would she?"
