Ziyu was unaware that Shen Wan was already looking for an opportunity to get rid of her. Not only her, but also all the people that the second and third branches of the family had sent into the courtyard, Shen Wan would not leave alive.
After I came of age, I began to work on this matter.
Shen Wan only told her father and elder brother about her meeting with Prince Ling, and also gave Yin Shuang and the servant a gag order, thinking that no one would know.
