Chi Lian's face turned straight in a second. "Fine, I was aware of it." She admitted. "And before you ask why I never said a word to you, it is because Junjie was also aware of the extra marital activities of his wife. Some things, even I cannot step in to handle unless I am invited."
The Empress Mother looked away from the crowd again. "You are my fixer Chi Chi, this is the kind of thing you are supposed to fix. What would you have done if she gave birth to a boy?"
That question did not need her to think over. Chi Lian knew exactly what she would have done. "I would have kidnapped the child and taken him to an orphanage somewhere in a village. Of course I am not heartless, I would make sure that he gets to go to a good family in the end. Just not a noble family."
"So why didn't you do that with Long Shuang?" The Empress Mother asked her.
Chi Lian was stunned. "You know!"
