Chen Ji gazed outside the Medical Hall — the bun shop's front was empty, as if no one had ever stood there watching them.
He spoke, "We need to figure out whether this person is stalking the Princely Heir or the Commandery Princess. Princely Heir, have you ever been stalked by this person alone?"
The Princely Heir shook his head, "No."
"Commandery Princess, have you encountered this person when you were out alone?"
Bai Li replied, "Yes, I remember last year's Lantern Festival at the temple fair. My brother was drinking with friends from Jianghu, and while I was with the maid guessing lantern riddles, that person was also hidden in the crowd, secretly watching me."
"Did you mention this to Lady Consort Yun?"
"I did. She told me not to overthink it and consider it a mere coincidence."
Chen Ji was slightly taken aback.
Normally, if a stranger was tracking one's daughter, the first reaction would be to ensure her protection, not to dismiss her concerns as mere imagination.
