Second Invitation

"Will the marriage be canceled just like that?" Chu Li shook his head. "If that's the case, aren't we just giving them exactly what they wish for?"

Xiao Shi furrowed her brows. She seemed to be preoccupied with her thoughts as she stared at him.

She was extremely smart, so she understood immediately what Chu Li meant. "Are you trying to say that this is the imperial court's doing?"

There are even some of them who're just looking to cause a scene. It's a mixture of truth and falsehoods in there. If the assassin is not caught, we'll never be able to know for sure who's who." Chu Li sighed as he shook his head.

"Let's go back now! They may not be able to catch up with the assassin but maybe you could!" Xiao Shi said.

"Or we could just act like we know nothing." Chu Li shook his head.
