Actually, Xing Yue didn't deliberately keep quiet about this; she was just too embarrassed to say it.

She couldn't very well tell Su Ruojin that she had climbed onto Su Yiting's roof to gather information, thinking that if all else failed, she would tie Su Yiting up and force him to hand over the grain.

As a result, he accidentally stepped on the roof and collapsed, falling into Su Yiting's bathtub, where he stared at Su Yiting, who was taking a bath.

Later, the two were so busy with the issue of supplies that they deliberately ignored this matter. After the matter was resolved, Su Yiting took his leave.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Su Yiting never revealed his true identity to Xing Yue.

Now that Xing Yue has seen Su Yiting again and learned that he is the son of General Su of Great Chu and the brother of Princess Chang Le, a surge of anger inexplicably wells up in her heart.

How dare he lie to her!

Su Ruojin also realized that the relationship between Fifth Brother and this Miss Xing was not so simple.

When I attended the poetry competition before, Miss Xing spoke up for me, which helped me out. She's a nice person.

Fifth Brother and Miss Xing...

Hmm, that's interesting.

"Since Young Master Su is a benefactor of the Xing family, his unwillingness to tell the truth must have other considerations, and I have nothing to say about it."

Xing Yue's tone was very calm, but even Su Ruojin, who wasn't directly involved, could sense that something was off about the atmosphere.

Seeing her fifth brother standing to the side, anxious and at a loss for words, Su Ruojin smiled.

This foolish fifth brother.

“Miss Xing, my fifth brother really didn’t mean to hide anything from you. After all, he is the son of General Su of the Great Chu Kingdom. Although he gave you the grain out of his own free will, it would be easy for someone with ulterior motives to find out my fifth brother’s identity and accuse General Xing of colluding with other countries.”

Hearing Su Ruojin's words, Xing Yue was stunned for a moment. She had been so angry at Su Yiting for hiding his identity that she hadn't thought about it in this way at all.

Now, thanks to Su Ruojin's reminder, Xing Yue has also realized what's going on.

She wasn't some naive young lady from a sheltered family, and she knew Su Ruojin was right.

She and Su Yiting are both special individuals, one being the daughter of General Yunqi and the other the son of General Da Chu. It's not impossible that they could be exploited by someone with ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, the anger in Xing Yue's eyes subsided considerably.

Su Yiting gave his younger sister a grateful look. He had indeed kept it from Xing Yue because of their respective statuses and it was inconvenient to say it directly.

Xing Yue has a straightforward personality, and Su Yiting is worried that if she finds out, she will treat him badly.

But now, whenever Xing Yue gets angry, Su Yiting is at a loss and doesn't know how to explain.

Phew, thank goodness, I have my little sister here.

Su Ruojin gestured, "Miss Xing, please have a seat."

Xing Yue sat down, and Su Ruojin poured her a cup of tea. "Miss Xing, please have some tea."

"Thank you, Princess." Xing Yue politely accepted the tea.

Xing Yue took a sip of tea and got straight to the point, "What brings the Princess to me?"

It was clearly Fifth Brother who invited Xing Yue, but Xing Yue only asked him questions. It seems this young lady is still angry.

Su Ruojin looked at her fifth brother with some sympathy.

However, Xing Yue was quite clever and guessed that she needed something from Su Ruojin. So Su Ruojin didn't beat around the bush. "Miss Xing, I have a maid named Qin Niang who has a daughter named Yingzi. The two of them suddenly disappeared today. I would like to ask for your help."

Xing Yue's eyes flickered slightly. "It seems the person behind this is no ordinary person."

Xing Yue knew that Su Ruojin was from the Zhao family. Given the Zhao family's power in Yuncheng, why would they need to find her, unless the matter involved someone the Zhao family wouldn't dare to offend easily.

“Miss Xing is indeed clever. I suspect that it was Lord Anxing who did it, so I would like to trouble Miss Xing to help me find him.”

This time, it was Xing Yue's turn to be surprised.
