Shen Wei did not beat around the bush and came straight to the point: "Once you enter the Yan residence, keep an eye on Tantai Rou for me."
Tantai Rou was the daughter of a minor official, her background seemingly clean and uncomplicated. Yet, she had gifted Shen Wei an extremely rare Southern Chu red gemstone.
It must be known that such a precious Southern Chu gemstone was exceedingly scarce—only the Southern Chu royal family could possess it.
Shen Wei couldn't shake the feeling that Tantai Rou was hiding something, a lurking threat. She secretly tasked Shopkeeper Ye, who ran a business outside the palace, to investigate, but nothing turned up.
Shen Wei trusted her instincts; her intuition had always been sharp. She wasn't the type to wait until disaster struck before acting.
She preferred to nip potential threats in the bud, which was why she had Princess Donglin monitor Tantai Rou up close.
