"I wonder what matter has led Lord Song to arrange a meeting in this place?"
Ji Ruyan asked, cutting straight to the point.
Song Hewen gave a faint smile, but it didn't reach his eyes.
"The Seventh Imperial Concubine comes here surely with a request as well, wouldn't it be better for us all to lay out the truth?"
"As you say, Lord Song, that is indeed my intention. But given your status, it is somewhat awkward, isn't it?"
Ji Ruyan said with implied meaning.
He was the son-in-law of Marquis Wande. How could they possibly lay out the truth?
Song Hewen turned his back to Ji Ruyan. "I only have one demand, to lay the charge of poisoning on my wife."
Ji Ruyan was shocked at his words, almost suspecting she was hallucinating.
Had she heard him wrong? To lay the charge of poisoning on his wife?
Wasn't his wife the daughter of Marquis Wande?
Even though she was born to a concubine and was an illegitimate daughter, why was he so ruthless as to want to kill his own wife?
