As soon as he finished speaking, the mother and daughter of the Chai family almost simultaneously showed expressions of fear, but Mrs. Chai pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't know what nonsense you are talking about."
Xue Zhiyi's guess went a step further: she did not leave the palace in the name of the empress dowager, nor did she reveal her identity after arriving in Jiangzhou, but the mother and daughter must have investigated her and knew her identity, so they naturally knew that she knew Chai Yue in the palace, which was why she showed such a guilty look.
