Chapter 410 - 420: Blocking the Door
Marquess Yue was still immersed in the portrait of the woman, his mind adrift as if his soul had traveled to another world, utterly unaware that his house was in turmoil.
The Marquis Residence in Lingnan had always been held in high esteem for many years, when had there ever been an incident where common folk blocked the door?
The Marchioness, leaning on her large cane and supported by her two daughters-in-law, stood at the entrance. To prevent the crowd from rioting, many guards stood in front of them with weapons at the ready.
"Marchioness, in broad daylight, your Marquis Residence took away Doctor Gao, yet you cannot state her crime. How do you justify this to the people? If you cannot provide a reasonable explanation, we truly won’t be leaving," they said.
There was safety in numbers, and they were not afraid of the Marquis Residence.
The Marchioness had no idea that Yue Ruxue had left the residence today, nor about the trouble she had stirred up. Seeing her head maid approaching, she asked in a low voice, "Did you find out anything?"
The head maid replied, "The second young miss is indeed not in the residence, she left early this morning, and took two house servants skilled in martial arts with her."
Hearing this, the Marchioness’s complexion darkened, and she clenched her teeth in frustration.
