Upon hearing this, Situ Yongjie's face darkened even more, "Our Situ family must have committed some terrible sin to have married Lady Tang, this foul woman. She completely disrupted our happy home, causing Xuexue's mother to die in injustice for over a decade. I, as her husband, was completely unaware. Thinking of this, I feel deeply guilty."
"Old Master, before the truth fully emerges, it's best to be cautious with our words, lest Prince Pu catches something to use against us and stirs up more trouble."
Uncle Zhong, an old servant of the Situ Family, was fiercely loyal to Situ Yongjie. He knew about the recent re-investigation into Lady Li's death.
Back then, when Lady Li was in labor, it just so happened that he had to be away from home for a few days. Upon his return, he was told by the servants at the mansion that Lady Li had suffered a difficult labor and bled profusely, resulting in both her and the baby's death.
He had felt guilty about this incident for a long time.
