Chapter 198 Second Update
Zong Yunqian returned to the mansion late in the evening, and could hardly say he achieved anything all day, feeling somewhat disheartened, though it could just be his own misjudgment.
After all, according to his master, those people had not shown themselves for many years.
Zong Yunqian lowered his head in thought, and the companions Gu Dao and Xi Feng who were with him were also exhausted from the day’s efforts.
"Heir, I’ll go to the kitchen to see if there is any food, and prepare some..."
Xi Feng hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly knelt down with a thud.
"Eldest Madam, it is so late—"
Gu Dao promptly and astutely knelt down as well.
"Mother, it is so late, why are you not asleep?"
Zong Yunqian quickly put on a smile, ready to minimize today’s events as he had done in the past by pleading and sweet-talking, instantly signaling Lin Xiang with his eyes.
Lin Xiang quickly shook his head.
"Where have you been?" The Eldest Madam Zong, who had been sitting in the room, had already waited for a shichen, and had also endured a shichen’s scolding from the Old Madam earlier. At this point, if she had a sword in her hand, she could have killed someone.
