"What?" Nan Qianyue stopped in her tracks, her eyes darting around. "How could the poem from that day have been leaked?"
The steward smiled and said, "Young lady, you've forgotten again. It was Madam who asked the young master to write those ten poems and present them to the Prime Minister. Such fine poems will naturally be shared with the students of Dongling."

Nan Xiang thought about it and agreed, "Then let's go, and let Lin Fei go with us."
