Shu Yu, however, thought this might be true. Whether or not her feeling was correct, it was still a clue, right?
It was better than searching aimlessly.
"Have you talked to Lu Wu about this?"
Qiao Rou shook her head, "No."
"Hmm? Why didn't you tell him?" Lu Wu was also from the black market and was Qiao Rou's husband. She received the letter yesterday, so there should have been many opportunities.
However, Qiao Rou's mind was quite complicated, "My husband is now an inspector working under Lord Tang. I don't know how much Lord Tang knows about the black market. I know this matter is rather secretive, perhaps even very few soldiers in the capital are aware. If my husband tells Lord Tang, what if the news spreads? What if Lord Tang doesn't believe something without evidence? But if I don't tell Lord Tang, and he finds out later, he might think my husband was overstepping boundaries, ambitious, and not loyal enough to him. So I'm hesitant, and this hesitation lasted until now."
