Qi Yue, naturally, had no knowledge of the events unfolding in Beiyuan.
Of course, with her sharp intuition, she did sense something amiss.
Firstly, there was Song Qiyun.
After last time, he still visited every single day.
He was always refreshing, reserved, and economical with words, never mentioning Zhao Xiyan again.
Sometimes he brought some specialties from Donggao or some trinket, his persistent demeanor seeming to say,
——Regardless of whether you believe it or not, he's just quietly doing good things for you.
Qi Yue did not accept his gifts, yet he wasn't angry; he just had this look of "whatever you say is right."
Then there were the two maidservants, Liao Ye and Zhu Ye by her side.
Zhu Ye was still as boisterous as ever, showing no respect towards Qi Yue.
But she was quite the loudmouth, always bragging about things inside Yewang Prefecture, allowing Qi Yue to pry into some secrets that couldn't be inquired about from the outside.
