The next day, Mu Yan had no official duties and was resting at home.
He was in a good mood; according to the message from Lu Luo, his spy in the palace, Si Yao seemed to like Wang Qingchen quite a bit.
His efforts had not been in vain.
He was reading happily when he heard the knocking of Vermilion Bird.
Mu Yan listened as Vermilion Bird stuttered, "Master, Miss Zhan Lan has arranged a private meeting with Wang Qingchen today."
Mu Yan put down his book and looked toward Vermilion Bird, "Where have they gone?"
Vermilion Bird hemmed and hawed, "My subordinates followed them."
Mu Yan frowned, what did Zhan Lan want to do by arranging a private meeting with Wang Qingchen alone?
Wang Qingchen, sitting in the carriage, did not expect Zhan Lan to invite him to a slum.
Ding'an City was divided into the inner and outer city, and around the outer city were some haphazardly constructed thatched huts, adobe houses, and even some people living under thatched shelters open to the winds.
