"Who was it?" asked Lu Liangwei curiously.
She already had a few suspects in mind, but she was not sure which one of them was the culprit.
"The Prudence Consort, Ji Linghui," said Madam Lin slowly.
Lu Liangwei was a little surprised. "Her?"
"Yes." Madam Lin nodded. "She bribed Situ Xu, the young master of the Situ Family. The Situ Family happened to have some ties with the House of Swallow Snow, so they came to the House. Supervisor Chen was in charge, but he didn't know the relationship between you and me and accepted this contract."
Lu Liangwei did not expect that the fragile-looking Ji Linghui would have connections with people from the martial world.
Looking at her daughter's startled face, Madam Lin said, "Sometimes, the most unlikely person is, in fact, the likeliest one."
Detecting the melancholy in her tone, Lu Liangwei could not help thinking to herself, 'Has Mother experienced something like this before?'
