The compensation for the arson case at Sajin Bridge had been settled. The local government and the Shen Family paid out eighty taels of silver. Although most of the losses were recovered, it no longer felt that important to Lin Shanyue.

A thought flickered through Lin Shanyue’s mind again, recalling the news Liu Niang and Brother Dao had brought that day, and she couldn't help but harbor doubts about Jiang Wanyue’s true parentage. Would Lady Bai really be this biased, or would she go to such lengths for her?
