Following that, Pei Yan's voice came through in a tone that was both mocking and bemused, "Old Pei has strived for years, and you, with just a single casual remark, have solved it all. Quite capable, aren't you, Princess?"
"..." She was bewildered.

Only after reflecting on it later did she realize how helpless Pei Yan had felt after hearing her "bad idea."
Words had already been spoken, and the play must go on in full; if Yuan Chong unwittingly discovered that Pei Yan hadn't actually gone to the grassroots level at Zhizhen, wouldn't it unnecessarily arouse his suspicions?
Jiang Shuyao regretted it deeply, hoping that since only Lu Chen had been present, he wouldn't tell that man everything.
However, nothing in the world is absolute, and to be safe, Pei Yan still took the initiative to approach Old Pei.
This was something completely unexpected to everyone at Zhizhen.
