Fan Zhuowen threatened with her life, so Lu Yanqing had no choice but to take her to the Capital.
Everything he did in Ningzhou had already been meticulously relayed to Zhao Xunyin by the Hidden Guard, including the fact that Lu Yanqing brought a young lady back to the Capital.
Knowing in advance that Fan Zhuowen was the family member of a coal mine disaster victim from eight years ago, Zhao Xunyin appeared very courteous and warm when she saw her in person. She instructed Dou Kou to tidy up a guest room for the young lady, and then pulled Lu Yanqing aside to ask, "Where have you been all this time?"
Lu Yanqing looked at her and said, "Didn't mother already know from the start?"
He had been blind for a period while in the Northern Desert, making him particularly alert. He knew that Hidden Guards were following him on his way to Ningzhou.
