Chang Lian explained, "Once we arrived in the capital and settled into the Jiang Residence, I took the opportunity to look around, as I had rarely been back to the capital. It was in a teahouse that I met the Fifth Prince. At first, I didn't recognize him and thought he was just good company. It wasn't until others greeted him that I realized he was the Fifth Prince."
At that moment, the face of the Fifth Prince practically turned green, and he realized that he should not have ventured out.
Zhulan pursed her lips, "You mean to say, the Fifth Prince's encounter with you was premeditated."
"After giving it some thought back at the Jiang Residence, it indeed seemed too coincidental. There were so many empty tables, yet he chose to share a table with me, and the Fifth Prince had even removed his princely accessories."
