At the Moonfall Lake Villa, Shen Wei still resided temporarily, spending her days comforting the heartbroken Zhao Yang Princess. Together, they strolled by the lake and indulged in delicacies, trying to soothe the princess's wounded spirit.
One evening, after taking her prenatal medicine, Shen Wei lay down to rest.
As Cai Ping lowered the bed curtains, she muttered, "My lady, walls have ears. Though the common folk may not hear of the princess's misfortune that night, the Empress surely has by now."
The guards at the villa had all been assigned to Zhao Yang by the Empress for her protection. Now that the princess had suffered such an ordeal, the Empress must already know.
Shen Wei let out a delicate yawn and said leisurely, "The Empress learning of Zhao Yang's plight is actually to my advantage."
Cai Ping's pretty face wrinkled in confusion.
