Chapter 840 - 837: Sunset and a Dead End
"The man was just here!" Nanny Jiang said as she was about to head out, "Old servant will go and call Wei Zhong right away!"
"Nanny, wait!" Bai Jinse stopped Nanny Jiang and turned to the Eldest Princess, "Grandmother, Xiao Qi has sent Wei Zhong to inform Eldest Young Lady! Now that Eldest Young Lady is far away in Daliang, fighting for Jin Kingdom to vanquish Liang, and such turmoil is happening in Dadu City, she needs to be prepared."
