When they were still in Dadu City, Murong Yan had told Bai Qingyan that Murong Li very much approved of the merger of the two countries, and even suggested putting on an act with Murong Yan to persuade their mother.
Was it because Murong Yan's sister-in-law learned of it in advance? Bai Qingyan felt it was unlikely, as both Murong Yan and Murong Li were naturally cautious people and wouldn't let anything slip without starting their actions.
She recalled Murong Yan's intention to stay and spend New Year's Eve with her, and her sharp eyes fell on her own abdomen...
Although Murong Yan and Murong Li wouldn't let any news slip, if Murong Yan's sister-in-law knew he once had the identity of a wealthy merchant from Wei, and even married the Emperor of Zhou and had a child under this identity, she would surely feel uneasy, fearing Murong Yan might strive to bring the entire Yan Kingdom into his grasp for the sake of his own flesh and blood.
