Yun Jun thought for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Cheng Yuqing spends most of her time in the military camp. How could she have time to visit brothels? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Xiang Wan was both amused and exasperated. Why did everyone think she was lying?

Yes, she was indeed lying; she just wanted to find an excuse to take people there.

"That's why I find it strange. Second brother, during your time at the Dali Temple, have you seen any cases that seemed ordinary at first, but after some thought, seemed somewhat illogical?"

“Nothing seems particularly special in recent years,” Yun Jun said, frowning.

"What about before? Seventeen or eighteen years ago, were there any cases that caused a sensation but were ultimately closed hastily?" Xiang Wan pressed.

Yun Jun thought about it carefully, her eyes lit up, and she said, "There really is."

Xiang Wan quickly lowered her head, leaned close to him, and asked, "What case is it?"

"Eighteen years ago, a vassal state presented several beautiful concubines to the Emperor of my Great Yun Dynasty, who is also my father. When they entered the city, all the people of the capital saw them. The concubines sang and danced as they paraded through the streets, but after my father summoned them to the palace, he did not keep any of them in the palace. Instead, he rewarded them to meritorious soldiers. But for some reason, these concubines fell ill and died one after another. The coroner verified that they all died because they could not adapt to the local environment. At that time, all the people of the capital were talking about it, and some even wrote a storybook, turning their story into a poignant and tragic tale."

"The Dali Temple also writes these things?"

Yun Jun felt awkward and avoided eye contact, saying, "I saw it by chance at the bookstore."

Xiang Wan understood; everyone has their little quirks, and she expressed her understanding.

But in Yun Jun's eyes, Xiang Wan's gaze was one of smugness after having caught someone red-handed.

Yun Jun said angrily, "If you dare to spread this, believe me, your fiancé will have to lie down to enter the bridal chamber?"

Xiang Wan choked. Oh well, all that touching was for nothing. There was no brotherly and sisterly love at all. Cai Die was much more prescient; she should have given him a few more disdainful looks.
