An Xin generally didn't bother with Li Shumeng. Since she wanted to go, let her. She's grown up, it's her own body. If she doesn't care, who else would?
Li Shumeng's personal maids had all been dismissed. This time, all the maids accompanying her were new.
One of them, quite clever, quickly gained Li Shumeng's favor, and the master-servant relationship warmed swiftly.
In reality, that maid was placed there by Li Shuning, and as for the relatively stupid maids, they were also arranged by Li Shuning.
Her mother being the family's matriarch gave Li Shuning a bit of advantage, which she could wield.
Upon returning from Qianqiu Mountain, Li Shuning learned from the maid that Li Shumeng indeed met with the Fifth Prince.
As for what they discussed, the maid hadn't overheard.
Li Shuning sneered coldly; this woman is adept at acting pitifully. She might further win the Fifth Prince's sympathy, right?
