Chapter 299 Clan Uncle Lian Bingcheng

Logically, secretly summoning someone into the palace for an audience was the most prudent plan, and that had been his original intention.

However, from Hu Miaomiao's words, he learned that Little Concubine's Clan Uncle was named Lian Bingcheng, a man whose temper neither bent nor broke, deeply suspicious, trusting no one.

Having brought the person under protection for some days now, Hu Miaomiao was at a loss, as nothing useful had ever been extracted from him.

When asked if he knew they had always been under surveillance, he dropped a single sentence, saying he didn't know, then with his hands clasped behind, he held his head high and refused to speak further.

Asked why someone wanted to capture them or if they had disputes with anyone, he again claimed ignorance.

In any case, his answer to everything was consistently "do not know," leaving no room for further questions, and one couldn't even get close, as the person thoroughly did not engage.
