His informant relayed the details of what had happened.
A faint smile touched the Emperor's lips when he heard about the wolf pack standing guard.
"That must be the little girl from the Shen Family in Xiangyun Village, right?"
She always managed to do the most extraordinary things. It was no wonder his son enjoyed her company so much.
"Yes," the guard said, bowing with his hands clasped. "However, I've heard that this was not Miss Shen's own doing. She was helping to fulfill someone else's last wish."
The Emperor's smile vanished. He asked quizzically, "Whose last wish?"
The guard quickly explained the situation with the Wu family and presented his investigation findings.
"I initially believed it was an ordinary fire, but I personally went to Xitai Village to make inquiries and also visited several government offices. I discovered some oddities. The deaths of the three members of the Wu family might not have been an accident."
