"What else did you find out by following Lian Mengxiang?" Shi Lan asked.
"The Lian family has been involved in politics for generations, producing many high officials, but Lian Mengxiang was an outlier; she liked acting. Moreover, she fell for a poor screenwriter due to her acting, but how could the Lian family acknowledge their relationship? Thus, they expelled Lian Mengxiang from the family. That's all the information I have for now," Huo Zhao said. "I don't know if I should keep digging."
"The Lian family," Shi Lan sighed deeply. "A prominent noble family, I've met some of their younger generation before, each outstanding and valiant."
"Madam, you've... met them?"
How could someone like her, a minor actress, have met them?
