Cheng Yanzhao was startled by Song Xian's words, but he quickly regained his composure.
Song Xian had let Chang Yue follow Miss Xie, but that night, when Cheng Yanzhao was curious about Miss Xie's identity and wanted to trade a warhorse for it, Song Xian refused.
Cheng Yanzhao whispered, "You wouldn't happen to be fond of a lady from that family, would you?"
As soon as the words were spoken, he felt Song Xian's sharp gaze.
Cheng Yanzhao maintained his expression, still smiling as he said, "I'm just asking, why are you annoyed?"
Song Xian brushed off his robe and replied indifferently, "The current situation at the Northern Border is complex with spies everywhere. Finding a reliable person is not easy; don't complicate matters."
Cheng Yanzhao was somewhat surprised: "You're really upset?"
