Lin Jingzhu looked puzzled. "Auntie, why would you say that?"
The Empress's expression became slightly stiff.
If Zhu'er knew about this, the dignified image she had of her elder would be completely gone...
Stay calm!
She regained her composure, cleared her throat, and said, "Although Chen Mo is very capable, I've heard that he is lascivious and disrupts the social norms, a hedonistic young man without restraint... I was worried you would suffer a loss, and I spoke without thinking."
On hearing this, Lin Jingzhu was stunned, then said seriously, "I don't know where auntie has heard such remarks. From my understanding of Mr. Chen, he is of noble aspirations and integrity, with virtues as lofty as pines and bamboos, and as bright as the full moon in the sky, definitely not the kind of person you describe."
"He must be the target of slander due to his recent success in resolving major cases, affecting the interests of others."
