The situation in Yan City was escalating. The Right Minister, an old man, had been treated like dirt underfoot, which only stoked his fury. He wasn't just pressuring the Ministry of Justice to thoroughly investigate the cause of the fire; he now wanted to investigate everything related to the granary.
When the Left Minister sent a memorial to the imperial court, he hadn't expected the situation to develop like this. He immediately sent another follow-up memorial.
Xie Linlang sensed the sudden shift in the situation outside. She immediately halted her original plan, deciding not to pass the message to her mother-in-law. Instead, she carefully weighed the pros and cons of the matter.
She recalled the letter her brother had sent her. If the granary fire was truly meant to prevent a war with Beiming, then who was the person behind it all?
They even dared to plot against the Right Minister. What about her own father-in-law?
