The following afternoon, He Yunxiao led Xiaoxiao and Nanzhu to wait for someone at the teahouse opposite Tingfeng Tower in Jingtian City.
He Yunxiao had only a vague understanding of Jingtian City. He didn't know which restaurants were available when he asked Ren Qianqian to come out for a chat. The only place he was sure of was Tingfeng Tower, which was always bustling with activity.
The Nangong family's Tingfeng Tower exists in almost every city of any size on the continent. This alone demonstrates the scale of Tingfeng Tower's business and the wealth of Nangong Xiaoniu.
Calling her a rich woman is an understatement. She is extremely wealthy.
While Ren Qianqian was away, He Yunxiao pondered repeatedly the information that Minister Qian had given him.

The information from Minister Qian's side is the same as Sister Jiang's own account of her background: her parents were honest people who were captured and controlled by the Yan Emperor.
The jumble of information was giving He Yunxiao a headache, especially now that there were two conflicting pieces of information.

Even now, though he's in Jingtian, he's still completely confused. He'll have to find a "tongue" to question himself.
As He Yunxiao was lamenting the "gap between us and the enemy," he saw a carriage stop in front of Tingfeng Tower across the street. It was Princess Ren who had arrived.
