Chen Shujing only learned that Shen Mingji had left Jiangnan after the fact.
He had already decided to let Shen Mingji's matter go, but he never intended for him to go risk his life in the Northern Land.
This was the only relative Xiaoxiao cared about; Chen Shujing couldn't pretend he was unaware of the situation.
After making some inquiries, he learned that Pei Yan himself had given the order.
Pei Yan was the New Emperor, managing countless affairs of state every day. Why would he have the time to pay attention to Ah Ji?
Chen Shujing thought it over and over, suspecting this had something to do with Xue Xingyao.
She wanted him to leave Jiangnan, and when he wouldn't, she went after the people around him, using them to force him out.
Xue Xingyao and Mei Wanying were inseparable best friends. Pei Yan would do anything to please Mei Wanying.
Chen Shujing's expression changed.
'If that's true, doesn't that mean I'm the one who harmed Ah Ji?'
