Chapter 332 - 321: One More Update
Duke of Qing was somewhat startled upon hearing his wife’s words and looked towards Eldest Madam Zong.
"Don’t start with your wild guesses again."
"Oh, what wild guesses? Now not a single person can be found in Prince Duan’s Mansion. If it isn’t true, then where have all the people gone?" Eldest Madam Zong said anxiously, unable to understand why her words weren’t believed, "The gatekeeper saw Yunqian and Princess Chao Ren leave with his own eyes. It’s so late now; even if something had happened, someone should have returned to inform us."
On a regular day, Duke of Qing rarely cared about others, and his only concern was the incomplete ancient qin music that occupied his day. Therefore, he didn’t think there could be a significant problem with Yunqian and all those maids and servants accompanying him.
"What’s the hurry? I will send someone reliable to check it out. What kind of serious trouble could there possibly be?" Duke of Qing said, reluctant to set aside the ancient qin music score in his hand, as he frowned.
"My lord, Madam, outside, outside—" As they were speaking, an elderly servant burst in.
"Why the panic? What’s happened?" Duke of Qing demanded sharply.
"Master, this old servant has heard the sounds of government officers outside, nearly a hundred of them." The old servant replied. In recent days, the aristocratic families had gradually started returning home, and at such a sensitive time.
As Mage Yu Sheng was still at Zong Sheng Residence, and being a fellow disciple from Qiandao Temple, Old Lady Zong had the additional privilege of attending palace scripture sessions, so they had not planned to leave just yet.
