Inside the Marquis of Martial South's Manor, Rong Yue was tightly bound and kneeling in the main hall.
In the hall, Chu Heng sat upright in the center. Su Hao's family sat on the right side, while Su Baojun and Xiao Yuntang sat closer to him on the left. Each of their gazes carried a measure of scrutiny and intimidation, giving Rong Yue a tingling sensation on her scalp.
Her identity and purpose didn't need Rong Yue to speak for herself; a secret guard at Chu Heng's side had already gone to investigate.
In no more than the time of an incense stick, the secret guard returned to Chu Heng and informed him that Rong Yue was Xiao Ning's sister, who had come to the capital with him to take the exams, and was currently staying in an inn.
The secret guard also found many portraits of Chu Heng and some love poems addressed to Chu Heng in the inn where Rong Yue was staying.
Without Rong Yue uttering a word, her thoughts were laid bare for all to see.
