Chapter 688
Cui Baiyu had indeed conducted an investigation on Su Ying, but the information she could uncover was minimal because Su Ying initially did not seem very important. Intentionally or unintentionally, Cui Baiyu had overlooked her, treating her as a person of no consequence.
It was only when they met face to face that Cui Baiyu realized her mistake. She was still uncertain about this woman's true character, but she suspected that it was not as simple as she had originally thought.
According to the investigation, Su Ying was merely a common merchant's daughter. Cui Baiyu usually wouldn't even bother to meet someone like her. Speaking a few words with Cui Baiyu, or having a slight connection with her, would be a cause for celebration for people like them.
