Blake Harrison was in poor health and stayed in his villa in Jinan for two more days. When he was preparing to leave on July 7, he unexpectedly saw an uninvited guest in the villa.
Zeng Xian received the emperor's order to go to Beijing to report on his work. He set out from Nanjing and happened to arrive in Jinan. He brought a few servants and dressed in plain clothes to secretly meet Blake Harrison.
These days, Ethan Bennett was afraid that Blake Harrison would leave him for a walk at night, so he simply moved into the east wing of Blake Harrison's house. When Zeng Xian came, Ethan Bennett and Blake Harrison were reading in their respective rooms and ignoring each other. Ethan Bennett heard the noise, took a look through the screen, and then hid behind the curtain to listen to their conversation.
They spoke in low voices, and Ethan Bennett was quite far away, so he could only hear them intermittently and could not hear them clearly.
"I left in early July... I also consulted with the Mu family in Jinling... What does the emperor mean?"
