Chapter 165: Mysterious and Unpredictable

"The reason I've been reluctant to show myself is also because of this person." Yan Jing's eyes still held a deep wariness when he spoke of Song Huaxu, "He's simply too inscrutable. I couldn't confidently reveal myself before I thoroughly understood what he intended to do."

Yan Wanqing thought of what Zhang Lanyi had previously said, that Song Huaxu had once gone to Governor's Office Pass.

Could it be that Yan Jing had told her this news?

"So have you figured out what he wants to do now?" Yan Wanqing asked.

Yan Jing nodded gravely, "I should be about right, because of a woman."

"Who?" Yan Lingzhen suddenly leaned in with her little head, asking curiously.

Yan Jing continued, "The mother of Seventh Prince Xiao Hongshen, a palace maid from the Imperial Palace of Dawei."

"How could a palace maid be involved with a master,... with him?" Yan Wanqing didn't understand.
