There was total silence in the tent after Xiao Zai spoke. Chu Yun could only blink in shock while trying to come up with anything to say.
Unfortunately, Xiao Zai was on a roll. "He's a terrible father, a terrible King, anyone would be better than him."
His sister raised an eyebrow. "Like you?"
Chu Yun bit down on a hiss. That was exactly what he thought she was going to say. Her relationship with Xiao Zai wasn't great. Of course she would think he was being an opportunist.
Xiao Zai rummaged into the pockets of his robes and took out the folded letters they found at the estate. Other than that one letter talking about a child, there was nothing else of note in the rest of them. They were clearly addressed to the 'treasonous' uncle, and it was obvious he was familiar with the person writing to him. They would never know what he wrote back, but from the contents of the letters he got, it seemed he was aware that he was in danger.
