NOVPUBShen Roujia tightly pressed her lips together, as if deep in thought. Given the current situation and timing, she understood the gravity of what was happening.
Shen Roujia had always wanted to truly grasp the unfolding plot, but it was clear that even the main characters were unsure of how to proceed. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Thinking about this, Shen Roujia couldn’t help but sigh.
“Zhi Zhi, you probably haven’t been in Yancheng for long, so it’s understandable that you’re not aware of these developments. I came to find you because I wanted to take this opportunity to discuss this matter together.”
“And, I’d like to ask you to introduce Uncle Wen Surong to Xiao Sinian. This way, they can better discuss what comes next.”
As Shen Roujia spoke, Gu Zhi was naturally the first to believe her. In this situation, Gu Zhi’s primary concern was to ensure that Shen Roujia wasn’t being deceived.
Gu Zhi coughed lightly and then sighed, “Jiaojiao, things aren’t as simple as you think. We need to verify everything step by step.”
Wen Surong’s calm voice broke the silence, “Young General, caution is indeed a virtue. However, I, Wen Surong, swear on my life that the Dayue Clan’s atrocities against countless tribes are a fact. The people of the Northern Border are being kept in the dark. They believe it’s the Great Zhou that’s trying to suppress them, which has caused widespread panic.”
Shen Roujia was completely unaware of what was really happening. She had no idea why Wen Surong hadn’t shared any of this with her before.
It was hard for Shen Roujia to imagine what they had experienced in the Northern Border.
She instinctively looked toward Wen Surong.
Wen Surong met her gaze and then smiled gently.
“It’s alright. We’re fine for now.”
For a moment, Shen Roujia found this rough-looking uncle to be unexpectedly gentle, his tenderness evident in his eyes.
She returned the smile, as if to offer comfort in return.
