Although Su Wanqing was also a woman, when she heard Kou Xuan's words, her expression didn't change at all. Instead, she nodded in agreement.
Kou Xuan continued, "And… even if this hypothesis is true, Lin Xi's behavior is still off."
Su Wanqing nodded slightly, agreeing, "Yes."
She analyzed, "If your guess is true, Cousin, then Princess Xi, after receiving a promise, should also appear more relaxed, and her relationship with Qiu Tu would look more harmonious."
"But… according to intelligence, Princess Xi and Qiu Tu have indeed had a falling out."
"Moreover, Princess Xi's reflection at the meeting seemed like a not-so-soft, not-so-hard counterattack against Qiu Tu."
Kou Xuan nodded slightly, "Yes. Princess Xi's reaction is also off."
"That's not how someone reacts after receiving a promise and knowing she hasn't been betrayed."
He propped his hands on the table and said, "Unless… what she received wasn't a promise from Qiu Tu, but from someone else."
