[Because she has as many unanswered questions as Jae-Ha does right now; the only difference is she knows her Father, and she knows the climate of the household - and most importantly, she knows all of the secrets this mansion keeps, those that her mother told her long ago.
If the small detail Jae-Ha gave her really does mean something, then she would prefer Sanji had drowned in the river. And that's a thought she won't share with anyone. Ever.
Without further comment, she leads Jae-Ha to her room. They're lucky - the servants are in such a tizzy that no one notices them, and Reiju's presence has a very powerful effect. So what if she's being escorted by a boy her age? No one would dare question her, and she's more than willing to abuse her power today.
Once they're inside, she reminds Jae-Ha again - do not leave and do not be seen - before she disappears back out the door, gone for what might seem an eternity to the older boy. In reality, it's only a couple of hours, just past the dinner rush, and when Reiju makes her return, it's with a sickly, shallow look about her face. She locks the door behind her.]
