Jing Zhen hesitated for a moment, "You didn't mention where I was, did you?"
Elder Bai immediately replied, "I didn't mention that."
"That's fine then," Jing Zhen said lightly, "After all, what I say doesn't count for anything, it doesn't matter."
Elder Bai: ??
As a member of the royal family, is this really okay for you?!
He twitched the corner of his mouth, "Alright then, as long as you're happy."
After hanging up the phone, Jing Zhen looked out toward the Shens through the window.
The night was dark as ink, and the Shen family estate looked particularly solemn under the street lamps.
Even if he didn't show up, surely the four major families wouldn't be suppressed by The Queen, right?
At most, it would bring them some trouble, but he thought that Shen Bijun and Chu Yanshen should be able to handle it.
He turned around again to look at his sleeping wife, his lips curving into a slight smile.

Shen Bijun had a good night's sleep.
