"Guess?"
Ji Ruyan looked keenly at Luo Shunchen, obviously dissatisfied with his answer.
Luo Shunchen pulled her to stand up and said in a deep voice, comforting her, "Calm down. When I sent people here, they saw someone had already dug up your mother's corpse and was about to take it away. Then, when my men approached to seize it, another group came to snatch it. They were all skilled with curved blades—the very same used by Yi Country's Curved Knife Guests. There were as many as fifty of them; my men were no match, and could only watch as the knife guests took your mother's body away."
"Curved Blade Guests?"
Ji Ruyan looked up at him, muttering the important implications of his words.
"Yes."
Luo Shunchen nodded.
Ji Ruyan gave him a deep look, then withdrew her hand, "Then why are you paying attention to my affairs? Don't tell me it was just a coincidence. From the time of Imperial Physician He, you've been quietly helping me. What do you really want?"
