Among those present, some were already guests of the Lu family and had a good relationship with them. The rest had no grudges with Lu Shuyu or County princess Zhang, and since Shu Yu represented Jiangyuan County, naturally, they stood on her side. County princess Zhang status and her imposing attitude couldn't frighten them after witnessing Shu Yu's coming-of-age ceremony, where even the emperor had sent gifts.
One person in the crowd spoke loudly, "Every word Lu Xiangjun said is true. County princess Zhang came here with her brother to pick a fight."
"Yes, I was right here from start to finish and saw it clearly. County princess Zhang's carriage stopped at Lu Xiangjun's doorstep, and the servants of the Lu family were there to welcome them. However, when they approached to inquire about the situation, Zhang Maolin didn't say a word and started whipping them."
"And those two guards directly rushed at Lu Xiangjun. They looked fierce and menacing, as if they wanted to harm her."
"County magistrate, our Lu Xiangjun is truly innocent. Zhang Maolin is not worthy of her. Such a fine lady like Lu Xiangjun deserves a talented and handsome husband, while Zhang Maolin is like a toad trying to eat swan meat, how disgusting."
"County Magistrate, you must stand up for Lu Xiangjun!"
"Yes, County magistrate."
Hearing the accusations and blame all around her, County princess Zhang felt her vision blur.
She wanted to berate the crowd and silence them as she had done in the past, not allowing them to gossip.
However, she opened her mouth but found herself unable to speak. When she raised her head, she saw Xiang Weinan coldly looking at her.
"County princess Zhang, it seems I need to handle this matter properly. Although you are a county princess, Lu Xiangjun is also a person of rank. Accusing her recklessly goes against the laws of the Da Su Dynasty. I believe you should come to the county office and explain the situation clearly."
County princess Zhang's legs weakened, and she shook her head, wanting to leave.
"I won't, I'm a county princess. You can't take me away, I won't go..."
She began to struggle, and Xiang Weinan signaled to Hu Li.
Hu Li stepped forward and said, "County princess Zhang, no need to be nervous. You said it yourself, you are a county princess. Our County magistrate will handle this impartially. Just go to the county office and explain things clearly."
As County princess Zhang struggled, Hu Li applied a bit of force, and she immediately rolled her eyes and fainted.
Xiang Weinan asked, "What happened? Doctor Zhao, take a look at her."
Zhao Xi approached eagerly and checked Zhang County Lady's pulse before saying, "Nothing serious, it's just emotional distress that caused her to faint. She'll wake up after a good rest."
Xiang Weinan sighed with relief, "That's good. Take her back to the county office carefully and avoid bumping her."
He then glanced disdainfully at Zhang Maolin, who was too frightened to speak, "Him too, take him away."
Hu Li and several officials quickly carried County princess Zhang onto her carriage.
After they left, Xiang Weinan said to Shu Yu, "It may take a while for County princess Zhang to wake up. Lu Xiangjun, you should return for now. This is your coming-of-age ceremony, and it's best not to be bothered by this unpleasantness. Once County princess Zhang wakes up, I will investigate the situation thoroughly. If it's necessary for you to be present, someone will come and invite you."
