"He what? They have spies on me? What do you mean they have them.. like they have some kind of group of spy network that works for both of them or is Nie-zongzhu running it or.. you need to be more specific!" He was absolutely not comforted by this idea. He wishes he was well enough he could storm back to that room and demand answers himself.
He gives Zizhen a look at the rest of that. "They just conveniently said all that in front of you? Yeah someone's getting played here and it sure as hell won't be us! I don't buy it and neither should you!" Nie-zongzhu had purposefully stayed behind when everyone else had left to seduce his uncle? This was a way easier thought than the other part of that statement. He could be responsible for his uncle's wedding if it had been delayed but canceled? Why would it be for her sake? How had his actions really cost his uncle his marriage?
"That last one I believe.. but anyone with half a brain would question it. We need to do something." Maybe they can chase Nie Huaisang off before his uncle gets back?

As Jingyi leads Yuan along the abandoned streets, all the citizens hauled up in their homes, he says, "Is it odd to you that elder had us wait in the middle of town to go over the details and never showed up? What was his name? Tian Niu?"
He shakes his head and prods at a suspicious looking pile of linens in the corner of a road. Huh, someone must've just dumped their laundry. Strange. "This has been a very weird hunt so far. Sorry this is your first one since it's so unusual."
