Just as the vice-captain was going to talk about the most critical information, the senior officer interrupted him. His face remained void of emotions, but his words were of warning, “Secrets are meant for the dead. The more you know, the faster you die. All you have to know is that you can’t afford to offend this person and neither can I, no one in this country can mess with her. If you’re afraid of death, take today’s events to your graves.”
It was the most depressing sentence the vice-captain had heard from the senior officer ever since he had assumed that position. Even as the senior officer spoke, there was a hint of fear and respect in his voice.
What exactly was her identity?
Not even a single person in the country could offend her?

After leaving the prison, Quan Jin was sent back to her home in Jiang as ordered by the senior officer.
On the way, she was greeted with bows from the servants.
Just as she approached the door of the mansion, she heard the voices of her parents: they were arguing. Even the nanny on duty had been chased out.
“Engagement ceremony cancelled by the princess of the Quan’s, the Mo family is subpar!”
Master Quan was enraged. He slammed a printed article on the tabletop, his face crumpled in fury, “When did she agree to get engaged with Mo Qingtian?! Why hasn’t anyone informed me about it?!”
His words hit Master Quan’s wife like a truck. She was shocked silent as she recalled important information. Her perfectly maintained complexion paled.
“Engagement? With the Mo’s?”
“Look at it yourself!” Master Quan scanned the document on the table with his chilling eyes.
