Xue Xingyao didn't ask why Shen Mingji had appeared at the teahouse, but Mei Wanying solved the mystery for her.
"He returned to the capital first and went to the palace to see Ah Yan. As for what they talked about, I didn't ask."
Pei Yan never kept secrets from Mei Wanying, big or small.
Some things, she was willing to hear.
Others, she refused to.
The moment Pei Yan brought them up, she would tell him to shut up. If he insisted on talking, she would cover her ears.
At times like these, Pei Yan would deliberately mess with her, kissing the back of her hand and then pressing his luck...
Thinking of it now, Mei Wanying felt her face grow hot as she silently cursed Pei Yan for being so improper.
'At his age, and still so shameless!'
Xue Xingyao didn't notice her good friend's odd reaction. Since it concerned confidential matters, she naturally wouldn't pry.
After leaving the teahouse, she was intercepted on her way and brought into the palace.
