Su Bai Wei sighed, "My husband told me that before he went to Guardian Fengping, he had already informed Uncle Zeng. It was Uncle Zeng who gave him the idea to pretend to be injured and hide. Otherwise, the Lu Minglin area was ready with knives, guns, swords, and halberds, just waiting for him to arrive so they could throw him into the pot. Who knows what the outcome would have been without that."
Su Xinyi was actually unaware of this incident; she had always thought that Jie Jinglue was full of schemes. Hearing this now confirmed that she wasn't wrong—this man must be all brains.
He, a mere military commander, actually dared to make contact with Uncle Zeng, and he wasn't afraid of being rejected outright.
That thick skin is indeed admirable.
As they talked, the conversation shifted back to the capital. Su Bai Wei turned to look at Xin Yi, "Will there be any chance for Yan Qiongsi's situation to turn around?"
This was to ask whether the Empress would intervene or not.
