Yet Zheng Lin of the Zheng Family has always claimed his innocence, insisting he did not intend to vie with Shangguan Hua over the person, and that someone had told him Xiao Lianxian had first agreed to meet him, but out of fear of offending Shangguan Hua, they sent someone to refuse him later.
Zheng Lin was not much older at the time, just a clueless lad of eighteen, and was doted on by his family. His elder sister was even a concubine, pregnant with the dragon seed, how could he bear such an insult, and immediately brought men to rescue Xiao Lianxian, which led to the events that followed.
However, with the death of Shangguan Hua, how could the Shangguan family believe his words?
Even if the Zheng Family presented Little Heye, the Shangguan family would not believe it. They only thought this was a servant deliberately bought off by the Zheng Family to exonerate Zheng Lin.
