"Madam Feng, thank you for sharing all this with me but I'm just wondering, why me?" Xu Qi asked as he squeezed her trembling hands.
The mature woman sighed as she put on a weakened smile, "I trust you to make use of this information, Young Master Xu."
"I'm only a disciple. I will also have to relay this to someone with a higher authority than me."
"Un. Now that I have passed it to you, it's your discretion on how you will use it. I just hope you can look after my Jingyi when she enters the Wandering Palace."
"You have my word, Madam Feng. I may not have an essential position but I will look after Miss Jingyi should she enter the Wandering Palace."
A wave of relief washed over Madam Feng's face, her posture relaxing for the first time since Xu Qi arrived. "Many thanks, Young Master Xu. You are far wiser than your years... and far too kind to someone like me. I can rest a little easier knowing Jingyi has someone like you watching over her."
