NOVPUBAfter returning, Shen Roujia advised Wen Surong to discreetly investigate whether anyone in their tribe had connections with the Dayue, but without openly probing to avoid hurting their loyal followers.
Wen Surong did follow Shen Roujia’s suggestion, but the investigation yielded no results.
After a few days, the matter seemed to be put aside.
Everyone thought it was over until a few days later when the wolf cubs reappeared. This time, they weren’t causing trouble but quietly sneaking in to see Shen Roujia.
Shen Roujia didn’t let anyone know. She tied some fresh meat to the wolves and sent them away again.
Shen Roujia didn’t have any strange ideas about these little animals. In fact, she had no ill will towards them and treated all the animals around her with kindness.
Although Shen Roujia had her doubts, she remained true to her principles.
Shen Roujia had started to suspect Ai Yigu’s behavior.
However, Shen Roujia never let those suspicions show.
When she released her homing pigeon to communicate with Gu Zhi, Wen Surong came over.
“You and the young general seem to have a good relationship. Have you been close since childhood?”
Shen Roujia understood that Wen Surong still felt guilty about their lack of time together. Despite their limited interactions, Shen Roujia could sense that her father was a vulnerable person.
He was clearly a victim, having lost his wife and daughter, yet he shouldered all the pressure himself. At that moment, Shen Roujia thought he was truly admirable.
