Revenge of the Phoenix Beauty-Chapter 21: Watchful Eyes

Inside Hua Zhen study, Hua Zhen sat with an unreadable expression. Before him knelt a shadowed figure, his spy, the one he had ordered to keep an eye on Qingyan's movements.

"My Lord," the spy spoke in a low voice, "Lady Qingyan left the estate late last night. She met with an unknown person in a secluded area and spoke with him for some time before returning."

Hua Zhen's movements stilled.

"Did you see who it was?"

"No, My Lord. The meeting was brief, and they parted quickly. However, this is not the first time the lady has done this."

There was a long silence.

Hua Zhen leaned back, deep in thought. His daughter was not a reckless person, if she was meeting someone in secret, there must be a reason.

But what? why had she kept it hidden from me?

After a long moment, he finally spoke, his voice calm yet firm.

"Forget what you saw. Never speak of this again."

The spy lowered his head. "Yes, My Lord."

With a wave of his hand, Hua Zhen dismissed him. The door closed softly, leaving him alone with his thoughts.

His daughter had changed.

And it was time to find out why.

Tomorrow, he would summon her.
