After Xiao Wu departs, Chiang Xiao teases Meng Xinian for his cunning approach in enlisting Xiao Wu to monitor the suspicious Xiao Ma, whom Meng Xinian links to Nian Che and possibly Hu Xiangyong. They deduce that Hu Xiangyong's concerns prevent overt moves against Chiang Xiao in the capital, prompting Meng Xinian to urge her to stay within the city. Enjoying Meng Xinian's home-cooked meal, which delights her enough to overeat, Chiang Xiao feels the need to step out for a walk while pondering Chen Zhu in the space.

"Brother Xinian, should we not release Chen Zhu, and assuming Nian Che is truly collaborating with Hu, might they grow suspicious?"

Such as the location where they could be concealing Chen Zhu.

Meng Xinian replied, "Not immediately, since they believe as well that outsiders won't locate the spot where we've stashed Chen Zhu."

How could he prove so incompetent?

When someone genuinely aims to conceal another, Space becomes entirely unnecessary, and discovery by others would be prevented far sooner.

Thus, allow those individuals to continue their hunt, to persist in their speculations.

In Nian Che's view, Chen Zhu likely serves as a mere small piece, possibly lacking great significance.

Naturally, should he uncover additional details, the situation would shift.

For instance, if he uncovers Chiang Xiao's true background and grasps Ah Liu's origins, Chen Zhu could then serve to torment not just her and Chiang Xiao, but also Ah Liu, the whole Jiang Family, and even Li Hanzhong along with Jiang Yingqiong.

Therefore, this instance demands that Chen Zhu remains confined, preventing her from wandering freely and being exploited once more by them to ignite these troubles.

She must absolutely avoid capture by Nian Che or Hu Xiangyong.

Should the statements she uttered carry any oddities deserving further probe...

Meng Xinian reflected once more on Chen Zhu's earlier utterances.

At present, uncertainty lingers on whether the Illusionary Talisman Diagram swayed her, or if she revealed long-buried honesties.

Should her claims hold validity...

Then Chiang Xiaoxiao could very well not be Chen Zhu's child!

Yet regardless of the pondering, it appears utterly implausible.

If not Chen Zhu's offspring, then whose? And why the striking likeness to Ah Liu?

Her status as Ah Liu's daughter stands firmly verified, so was there perhaps another female prior to Chen Zhu?

This notion alone sends a jolt through Meng Xinian.

Consequently, the incidents from that time prove far more intricate than assumed.

Yet he remains certain Ah Liu holds no recollection of this yet, assuming it transpired, or else he would have informed Chiang Xiaoxiao by now.

For he understands precisely the depth of Chiang Xiaoxiao's desire to escape being Chen Zhu's daughter.

Despite repeated contemplation, Meng Xinian deems it utterly baffling.

Chiang Xiao declared, "I'll release Chen Zhu once more; otherwise, she stays asleep within."

Indeed, she possessed the ability to rouse Chen Zhu in Space, yet why would she? Revealing her Space to Chen Zhu was out of the question.

"Release her..." Meng Xinian paused halfway and inquired, "However, Little, are you considering a check with Chen Zhu?"

Although he has consistently doubted Chen Zhu's reliability, given her initial account aligned logically and corroborated with others' tales, alternative scenarios seem scarce.

Nevertheless, with her words now out, pursuing verification could soothe Chiang Xiao's worries and evaluate the Illusionary Talisman Diagram's impact.

Should truth emerge from her lips, it would demonstrate the Illusionary Talisman Diagram's power to extract honesty.

Chiang Xiao stood frozen in shock.

She pondered whether prolonged immersion in this time period had normalized things for her, leading to an instinctive view of the era's primitiveness, thus overlooking DNA examination right away.

In truth, during this period, such tests remain rare; over the years since her return, she's encountered scant mentions of them.
