Having done all she could, Xue Xingyao could only wait for news in the Capital City.
The Xue Family currently had little power or influence; there was nothing else she could do to help.
She could only hope Shen Mingji was lucky enough to survive the assassination attempt.
He was obsessed with avenging his mother and sister. 'How can he just die before he's had his revenge?'
Mei Wanying had said she would tell Xue Xingyao the moment there was any news.
Xue Xingyao trusted her good friend, so she went about her days as usual, her routine unchanged.
Chen Shujing was under house arrest, and his son was confined along with him, so Xue Xingyao hadn't seen them for several days.
She had asked Mei Wanying about the matter of passing a message to the Shen Family and had roughly pieced together the full story.
Like her younger brother, she didn't believe Chen Shujing would want to kill Shen Mingji.
