Nanny Tong bowed and paid her respects, then led the maids and servants out of the main hall, standing guard at the door.
"Governor Shen, you may rise and speak," Bai Qingyan said, resting one hand on the small table as she leaned against the pillow.
Governor Shen responded and stood up, taking a seat below Bai Qingyan, facing her, and began slowly, "I expected the Princess of Zhen might send Bai Qingping to investigate me, but I didn't expect it so quickly. I admire your extraordinary insight, Princess of Zhen."
"My health hasn't fully recovered. Governor Shen, please get to the important points, so I can rest and recuperate after hearing," Bai Qingyan impatiently dismissed the flattery.
Governor Shen smiled, looking at Bai Qingyan, and said, "I was once the Princely Heir of the Duke of Zhen's household, who is your father, Bai Qishan. He left me in Shuoyang to prepare a backup plan for the Bai family."
