Su Qian saw Xiao Yan’s scarlet lips curl into a teasing smile after he finished speaking. At that moment, she only felt as if there was a breath stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down, almost suffocating her to death.

Xiao Yan could tell that something was wrong with Su Qian’s expression, so he didn’t continue to be impudent. Instead, he smiled and said to Su Qian, “Don’t worry, I have my own plans.”

Suddenly labeled with the hat of caring for him by Xiao Yan, Su Qian’s face darkened. She immediately took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes as she said proudly, “I’m not free today. Please come back another day, Your Highness.”

Realizing that Xiao Yan was the type to brighten up at the slightest hint of attention, Su Qian had no intention of letting this man give orders. After saying this, she got up and left the dining room, heading to spend time with her children.

She had been away for a few days this time. It was time for her to take some time tonight to accompany the children.

Little did Su Qian know that, after she left, Xiao Yan, seemingly unhurried, found a room in Su family’s vast courtyard and settled in for a night.

Late that night, after Su Qian coaxed the children to sleep, she leaned against the bed and flipped through medical prescriptions until she heard a knock on the door.

“Come in.” Su Qian carefully looked at the siblings who were sleeping soundly beside her and a faint smile appeared on her face. Then, she put down the ancient book and gently walked off the bed.

On the other side, Qian Rong also carefully pushed open the door and walked in. She bowed respectfully to Su Qian and said, “Master, I’ve gathered information in Penglai Inn.”

She raised her hand to her lips and made a gesture to keep quiet. After tucking in the blankets for the children, she got up and let Qian Rong to the outer room. “Come, we’ll talk outside.”

After walking to the outer room, Qian Rong first poured Su Qian tea before reporting respectfully, “Master, according to my investigation, other than the elders of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Ruyan, and Dongfang An, there’s also a man named Shen Duoyi staying in Penglai Inn.”

Su Qian sat down calmly and raised her eyebrows before asking, “What’s his relationship with Dongfang Ruyan?”

In the Dongfang family, a person with the surname Shen had appeared. He must be someone related to Dongfang Ruyan to be able to stay in the Penglai Inn.

“Shen Duoyi is Dongfang Ruyan’s husband. He married into the Dongfang family and had no say in the family. However, it was said that Dongfang Ruyan treats her husband very well. Dongfang Ruyan seems to have had a fondness for Shen Duoyi since young, and their relationship has always been good.”

“Dongfang Ruyan is highly favored in the Dongfang family. If she didn’t like Shen Duoyi very much, she wouldn’t have allowed a man to marry into their family.” Su Qian raised her hand and lazily held her chin as she said with a shallow gaze.

Intermarriage among n.o.ble families was a common occurrence, and families like the Nangong family, which refrained from such unions, were actually quite rare. Moreover, the Dongfang family, being reclusive, couldn’t escape this tradition.

In such a family, Dongfang Ruyan was still able to be with Shen Duoyi, and for him to marry into the family for her sake, indicated an extraordinary bond between the couple.

“Actually, I also found out something.” Qian Rong raised her hand and gently scratched her cheek with her fingers. Then, she said with an awkward smile, “I heard that Shen Duoyi and Dongfang Ruyan were good friends with Madam..”
