Commander Yu sighed again and said: “Whether or not it’s true, I don’t know, but amongst the Cheng army, everyone knows that she is Liu Shao’s girlfriend. Also, she did not even try to avoid suspicion, and always behaved very intimately with Liu Shao. Miss Yin is staying at the Third Miss’ estate, which is only separated from the Commander’s Estate by a single street.” He then lowered his voice and said: “Once, because of emergency military matters, I went to see Liu Shao in the middle of the night. Shen Jia Ping was hemming and hawing, but could not say where Liu Shao had gone to, and he asked me to wait in the reception room for a full half an hour before I saw that Liu Shao had returned from the back door. Later, during the tenth lunar month, I held a dinner party and took advantage of the strength of the alcohol to ask Shen Jia Ping about that matter. [1] Liu Shao’s secretary Zhang Yi Jia was pretty much drunk, he gossiped to me with that big mouth of his, saying something that the gatekeeper does not announce the guest arriving at dawn, a new beauty named Mo Chou. [2] I am a working man and did not understand, but those secretaries all began to laugh loudly. At this moment, Shen Jia Ping then said that Miss Yin is no match for anyone else, you guys are talking nonsense over here, and if Liu Shao sees, he would box everyone here on the ears.”
Xu Jian Zhang’s heart was in turmoil, and thinking of all the clues that he had see these past few days, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart; he tightly fisted his hand and after a long time, he grounded out: “Jing Wan is not that kind of person, I believe that she isn’t.”
