Liu Shi's brain was buzzing as if she had been struck by lightning.
What? Her jade pendant was with the Imperial Advisor? And then his daughter found out and asked for it back?
Doesn't he already know about her?
Looking at the terrified and bewildered Liu Shi, Lin Xiaoyue reached out and patted her mother's back.
"Mother, you said that Li Xiao and I are hiding something from you. Aren't you doing the same?"
Liu Shi's body stiffened.
"What…have I been hiding from you?" She would never admit it.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
"The Imperial Advisor told me everything. He said you are his…"
Liu Shi instantly looked at Lin Xiaoyue and reached out to cover her mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense. Keep your voice down." She was saying contradictory words and looking around, afraid that someone would see her.
Even though Liu Shi did not successfully cover her mouth, Lin Xiaoyue did not continue to speak.
