NOVPUBShen Roujia’s expression turned serious as her thoughts raced.
“Who was behind it?”
Tao Hua chuckled softly. “At that time, the only family capable of such a thing was the Bai family.”
Hearing this, Shen Roujia immediately thought of Consort Shu. It was likely a result of years of jealousy and resentment, compounded by her lack of children, that drove her to such cruelty.
As this realization dawned on Shen Roujia, she felt a sense of relief. Xu Zening’s real adversary wasn’t from within his own family; the true culprit was the Bai family. If the Bai family hadn’t pushed Qiao Chuyi into such a desperate situation, she, who had once devoted herself to the Emperor, wouldn’t have been so easily removed from the game—especially in such an ugly manner, leaving a deep scar on the Emperor’s heart.
Qiao Chuyi had been humiliated, abandoned by the Qiao family, and only then did the Emperor bring Zhao Huan’er into the palace. Everything had been orchestrated from the start, even the so-called royal love was carefully manipulated.
With this realization, Shen Roujia pieced everything together. The persecution of Qiao Chuyi by the Bai family, and the Qiao family’s eagerness to discard her, had driven Qiao Chuyi to such despair that she took her own life.
Shen Roujia couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
At that moment, Tao Hua looked at Shen Roujia with curiosity.
“Master, what’s your connection to these people?”
Shen Roujia lifted her eyelids slightly and responded calmly, “I’m just fulfilling someone’s request.”
Understanding the need for discretion, Tao Hua didn’t press further. Shen Roujia then recalled the earlier events. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
“Did you take care of the issue in the hall already? That quickly?”
Tao Hua nodded. “It wasn’t a big deal.”
