The two walked side by side, chatting and laughing. By the time they returned, Jian Shichu's mood had completely relaxed.
When they got back to the villa, they were surprised to find that Shi Qingning had come back.
Shi Qingning and Jian Rang usually had lunch at the office and didn't come home at midday, so both of them found her sudden return quite unusual.
Walking over, Jian Shichu asked, "Mom, why are you back? Is something wrong?"
"I know everything that happened in the royal palace today," Shi Qingning's face looked troubled as she grabbed Ye Qingci's hand and gave her a once-over, "I came back to check on Cici. Cici, are you okay?"
Shi Qingning and Jian Rang stayed in Quyang to support Qu Tianchen.
The Quyang Royal Palace had their people embedded within.
They might not have an absolute grasp of everything going on inside, but at the very least, something this big couldn't escape their notice.
