Wen Surong turned and walked out, speaking to the person beside him as he went, “Find out who exposed the princess’s secret.”
Wen Surong had seen clearly how well Shen Roujia had protected the little wolf cub, hiding it completely.
Once Wen Surong left, the smile on Shen Roujia’s face slowly faded.
This Ai Yigu really couldn’t be trusted. Shen Roujia thought to herself that the coming actions would not be kind.
She let out a cold snort and instructed the guard outside, “Tell the Crown Prince that it’s time to set the plan in motion.”
Night had just fallen, and with the vastness of the grasslands, the entire starry sky seemed to reveal the beauty of the land.
Shen Roujia stood by the river, lost in thought, when she heard footsteps approaching.
“They’ve fallen into the trap.”
Everything was going according to plan, and Shen Roujia wasn’t surprised as she nodded.
“Let’s go.”
Tu Lie still found it hard to believe as he looked at Ai Yigu, who was now tightly bound. He was filled with confusion. “Ai Yigu, why? What could have driven you to this? Don’t you realize how many lives your actions could endanger if this isn’t just a trap?”
Ai Yigu stared coldly at Tu Lie and then suddenly laughed bitterly.
“No number of lives can compare to my Ah Lin!”
Shen Roujia had just entered and heard those words.
She looked at her brother, then gently patted his shoulder and said softly, “Now you finally understand, don’t you?”
“Actually, I don’t mind telling you this. The last time Father was ambushed, it was she who exposed his whereabouts.”
Tu Lie clenched his fists, unwilling to say another word.
