Shen Yue, though willing to reveal all to anyone, found it difficult to explain the current situation to Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu.
Ever since Cui Niannu's identity was exposed yet she insisted on staying at Nyannu Jiao, Shen Yue suspected there was something at Nyannu Jiao worth her staying for.
Upon realizing this, Shen Yue decisively sealed Nyannu Jiao, dismissed the numerous songstresses, and stayed behind to investigate its secrets himself.
Having authority comes with many advantages—primarily convenience and efficiency for Shen Yue.
Though his actions shocked the capital, he surprisingly faced little resistance.
Yue Fei, who was able to locate the secret chamber in Nyannu Jiao's attic, was merely leveraging his understanding of structural designs—something Shen Yue, as an expert in construction, found trivial.
Shen Yue soon entered the hidden compartment behind the wardrobe and discovered the statue housed within.
The statue was that of Shennong.
