Seeing the name again, Fang Yue felt a strange mix of emotions stir within him.
'Could it be that Wei Chengliang wants me dead because of Zhu Linlang?' Fang Yue wondered.
He knew that Zhu Linlang was engaged to Wei Chengliang's son. This was common knowledge throughout the court. His own relationship with Zhu Linlang, however, was a secret.
But no secret could be kept forever, and he feared the well-informed had known for some time.
Fang Yue's gaze wavered as a thousand thoughts raced through his mind.
He understood that if Wei Chengliang truly knew about his secret with Zhu Linlang, then that had to be the reason he wanted him dead.
After all, the engagement between Wei Chengliang's son and Zhu Linlang was a symbol of the Wei Family's honor, and a guarantee of Wei Chengliang's own standing in the court.
And he was just a minor Observatory official. How could he possibly contend with a behemoth like the Wei Family?
