Book 4: Chapter 67: Saint Son! Isn't this the Saint Son?
```
……
There are no walls in this world that do not leak.
Moreover, the bigger the scandal, the faster it spreads.
It had been less than half a day since Meng Yuanbai led people straight into the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and Wang Shouzhe was placed under house arrest, yet this matter had already spread like wildfire throughout Shangjing City. The rumor that the Changning Wang's Clan was involved in smuggling and colluding with the enemy was quickly fanned by those with ulterior motives, becoming almost universally known.
For a time, the entire Shangjing City was in an uproar.
It must be noted that the Changning Wang's Clan had been the most prominent family in Shangjing City over the past two years. First, the great prodigy Miss Liyao swept through Shangjing, and then they joined forces with Commandery Prince An to establish the "Dala Development Joint Office," attracting investments from major families and creating a massive momentum, successfully boosting Commandery Prince An's influence.
It was only in the past half year that things had quieted down a bit, with no major news.
Given the significant movements made by the Changning Wang's Clan, there had long been rumors in Shangjing City over the past two years, suggesting that the Changning Wang's Clan was ambitious and might be trying to leverage the Imperial Heir Struggle to directly leap into the ranks of third-grade families.
