Zhao Yi's suspicion was correct; the beggar paid to deliver the message was indeed hired by the protagonist.

It's not that the protagonist wasn't wary of Zhao Yi, but he knew Little Poison had no brains, and he was worried that if something was placed on it, she wouldn't recognize the bamboo slip anymore.

Zhao Yi even exposed the scandal between the two of them.
