Chapter 562: Chapter 467 He Actually Finished Reading It All, Sending Him a Love Letter

```

Shen Chuwei realized what she had said was somewhat unrealistic as soon as she finished speaking.

Lady Taotao was still Xiao Jinyan's maid, and pursuing Song Qing openly in the East Palace would be fine if nobody noticed, but if discovered, it would ruin the reputations of both of them.

Song Qing was the newly minted Top Scholar, a well-educated and mannerly literatus, and would not step out of bounds, even if he was fond of Lady Taotao.

The only way was to leave the palace; once out, she would be free to boldly chase after him, greatly increasing her chances of success.

Lady Taotao sighed, well aware that the new Top Scholar was highly sought-after and could be snatched up by someone else if she delayed.

But with her current status, how could she pursue him?

Lady Taotao's gaze fell on Song Qing, feeling helpless, "He and I are destined to meet but not to stay together."

To encounter by fate but not to hold by destiny.
