Qingyao’s Decision 4

Zhu Shen dropped Madam Wu off four miles from Linquan village then hurried back quickly on horseback. As soon as he returned to the dilapidated temple, he noticed that His Excellency had not left yet. Instead, he was standing under the eaves outside the temple, looking up at the sky in silence.

Zhu Shen got off his horse, went up to Li Ruoxuan, and gave a report on Madam Wu's movements.

Li Ruoxuan did not appear to care about Madam Wu. Instead, he muttered, "She isn't their real daughter, I already knew this. Now I have proof but I'm confused."

"Your Excellency, this servant doesn't understand." He was confused? Why was he confused?

Li Ruoxuan said, "Think about it. Based on what Madam Wu shared, Qi QIngyao had received the keepsakes ages ago, but why did she only start baiting with the fake ones after so long? What was she doing earlier?"
