Qin Yurong nodded heavily. She collected herself and took several deep breaths to adjust to a better state before going downstairs with Qin Yucen. After dinner, Qin Yucen suggested that Qin Yurong stay with her for a few days.
Ye Qiyun and Tang Xun then left. After seeing them off, Qin Yucen pulled Huo Jingtang into the study to discuss Qin Yurong killing Chen Guixiu. She thought time was of the essence and the sooner they resolved it, the better.
Qin Yucen, who accompanied them, kept her head down, not daring to meet Huo Jingtang's sharp eyes that could see through people. She knew that once she looked at him, he would see right through her.
Qin Yucen explained the course of events to Huo Jingtang. Although he was surprised that a gentle woman like Qin Yurong had the boldness and courage to kill, he listened calmly to Qin Yucen. His brow occasionally furrowed, and this subtle reaction left both Qin Yucen and Qin Yurong feeling uncertain.
