Qi Chan was quite surprised, "I didn't expect there to be such complications in the story."
He looked towards Lord Cheng, who also seemed contemplative but only shook his head after a long pause, "So, it seems she's the adopted daughter of the Shu family."
The implication being, though she has no blood ties with the Shu family, after all, she had lived with them for many years. She couldn't sever ties with the Shu family completely; the Shu family's crime and exile, Shu Yu could not avoid.
Moreover, this kind of relationship would certainly have been investigated thoroughly by the officials who had originally tried the Shu family case.
However, it is precisely this relationship that might leave room for some maneuvering in the future.
He looked at the young lady standing before him, noticing she seemed in good spirits and even capable of venturing into the deep mountains to hunt tigers. Perhaps she could do great things in the future; she still had prospects.
