Bai Qiru was actually quite fatigued, not just mentally, but also physically bear severe torture wounds, only hidden by a change of clothes.
Upon hearing this suddenly, she was a bit skeptical if it was her fatigue causing hallucinations.
She tried asking, "Who is Li Hongjiu?"

Shi Chun was taken aback for a moment, also somewhat doubtful if she was pretending. Even ordinary people like Dongliang Ying knew about him, how could she have never heard? After all, when he worked in the Book Pavilion doing odd jobs, he occasionally heard people mentioning him, and those scholars had even discussed him.
Reflecting on the living state of the other person, it was somewhat understandable.
Besides, whether one knew Li Hongjiu or not wasn't important.
