Just thinking about that day when Yan Susu accidentally overheard outside the door her father discussing with his staff officers about not dispatching troops for rescue, she was so anxious she burst into tears.

However, pressed for time, she couldn't explain the sequence of events clearly and couldn't expose her father, which led to Ran Yan and the others misunderstanding the contents of the message as having ulterior motives.
