"It's all because I misjudged people back then."

"He saved you? How did he save you?" Shen Chongde pressed.

For every shameless drug, there is a shameless solution.

That Zhou Xuance, he wouldn't take this opportunity to...

“Father, you’re overthinking it. He soaked me in cold water and found an antidote for me. If he really wanted to do something to me, he could have done it then.”

Shen Chongde remained silent.

"So what did you two talk about just now?"

Seeing that her father remained silent, Shen Zhiyi changed the subject, "Father, when did you discover him?"

“He knew it the first time he entered the Duke’s mansion after I returned to the capital.”

"..."

Shen Zhiyi was greatly shocked.

Wow, so early!

“Your father is old, but he’s not stupid. He’s led troops in battle for many years, so he still has some vigilance. That fellow is also arrogant. He has repeatedly shown no respect for me.”

Knowing the Song family's actions, Shen Chongde naturally had to be wary of them harming his daughter.

Security was strengthened within the government compound.

But then we heard that someone seemed to have entered the young lady's courtyard.

He failed to catch anyone the first time, mainly because his daughter didn't call for help, and nothing seemed amiss the next day, so he decided to hold off and observe further.

"Tell me honestly, was the person in your room on your brother's wedding day also him?"

Shen Zhiyi pursed her lips. "You know about this too?"

"I'm not blind. I had two cups of tea on your table that day. I was just too busy to point it out on the spot, and I didn't want to save face for you."

"Are you thirsty? I'll go inside and pour you a cup of tea."

As Shen Zhiyi spoke, she hurriedly ran into the house, only to hear her father say softly behind her:

"I won't drink the tea that kid drank from!"

"..."
