"Mianmian, has something really happened to Ah Huai? He was so... so..."
"It's just a temporary measure."
Seeing her aunt so anxious, and considering that she's a hot-headed person, Ruan Mian worried it might lead to more trouble.
That's why she decided to tell her the truth. After all, her aunt knew about her space, so there was nothing that couldn't be said.
Between the aunt and niece, they had long worked together with one mind and no secrets.
However, upon hearing this, her aunt suddenly felt her brain wasn't enough to comprehend, and paused: "A tem... temporary measure?"
"You mean he's not dead? So where has he gone?"
"Being demoted to this place was itself part of a chess game set by the Emperor. Now that the game has reached the later stages, he has to go back and do what he needs to do."
The eldest aunt knew Xie Huai'an had intricate connections in Capital City, and now, with the unstable current situation involving court maneuvers, they were unable to help.
