However, no matter how one guessed, the person who could give answers had long been buried in the years.
Although Shu Wan and Qi Yuan had truly met only once when they were eight, every time she saw him afterward, it was from a distance, hidden among the crowd.
From their correspondence in the military camp, Shu Wan could tell that Qi Yuan was a very capable and strategizing politician.
The Shu Family ostensibly maintained neutrality and had married Shu Wan to the Crown Prince, making it appear as though they were closely aligned with the Eastern Palace.
But Shu Wan knew that her father also kept close contact with the Third Prince in private.
Therefore, the information in unofficial histories about Qi Yuan's special treatment of the Shu Family seemed to Shu Wan to be mostly baseless.
