Qin Yi was surprisingly cooperative, a smile on his lips, as he held her waist and lifted her to sit down beside him.
He also casually draped a black robe over her shoulders.
Nanqianyue reached out to pick up a sweet potato from the ground, but Xie Yanzhou picked it up instead.
She pursed her lips and didn't speak, assuming that Xie Yanzhou was angry and wouldn't give her any food.
In reality, Xie Yanzhou brushed the dust off the sweet potato to make sure it was clean enough before handing it to her, saying, "Eat it."
His voice remained cold.
Nanqianyue smiled, said thank you, and took the sweet potato.
"I've never seen you so polite before," Xie Yanzhou said sullenly.
He threw a piece of firewood into the fire, causing a burst of sparks, and his expression turned solemn. "The people who kidnapped your mother and sister were arranged by the Lou family, and the people who killed you were arranged by the Princess."
Nanqianyue paused in her sweet potato-eating spree, frowned, and asked, "Was it the Kongshan Sect that helped investigate?"
Xie Yanzhou nodded indifferently, "Mm."
Nan Qianyue frowned even more. The Kongshan Sect couldn't have made a mistake. Lou Shi should be the wife of Grand Commandant Song. She probably attacked her mother out of jealousy.
But didn't Qin Yi say that it was Grand Commandant Song who rescued his mother? So the couple were one who kidnapped her and the other who rescued her.
Those who rob others do so out of jealousy, while those who save others do so out of youthful infatuation.
Did the eldest princess use this opportunity to lure her out and kill her? The fact that the masked killer knew where her mother and sister were imprisoned suggests that the eldest princess conspired with Madam Song, or that the eldest princess was aware of Madam Song's actions and thus arranged for an assassin.
Of course, these are just her guesses.
“I sent my younger brother to Hengyang Mountain with the stones. Do you know his current situation?”
The question asked by Qin Yi during the southward migration.
Qin Yi raised his hand and wiped away a bit of sweet potato from the corner of her lips. "I had my guards inform him to return to the capital. He should be at the Prime Minister's residence right now."
"That's good." Nan Qianyue breathed a slight sigh of relief, but her brows furrowed again as she thought about what she had experienced today.
She suddenly looked at Qin Yi and asked, "Why does the Princess always want to kill me? I asked you that last time, but you changed the subject."
Qin Yi lowered his eyes and fell silent.
Nan Qianyue tilted her head and stared at him, puzzled. Was there something she couldn't say?
