"Yes." Qian Fanji nodded. Seeming to sense her reservations, he added, "Rest assured, the Royal Hidden Guards won't trace this back to the General's estate."
"How do you know?"
"When Xi Fengying was being pursued, my men intercepted her pursuers. They later saw her enter the General's estate and never come out again, so I guessed that you were the one who helped her," Qian Fanji explained.
"Helped?" Ye Qianning's eyebrows shot up high. "What makes you so certain I helped her, and didn't kill her?"
Qian Fanji smiled faintly at her words. "You're intelligent enough to know what would be more advantageous for you."
"You say that as if you know me so well."
Qian Fanji let out a soft, knowing laugh. "On that point... I must admit, you and I are very much alike in some ways."
Ye Qianning pursed her lips. 'He's just talking in circles, alluding to my connection with the Qian family.'
"Was it you who leaked information about Xi Fengying to Xi Yan?"
Qian Fanji shook his head. "No."
