Xiqiu did not know what kind of treatment the Ministry of Revenue official received inside, but the treatment of the First Master and Tong Shen Zhi was not much better.
As soon as they arrived at the mansion's entrance, Manager Lai, who had been standing guard there daily, dashed out and sent someone to the inner courtyard to inform Xiqiu and the Lady. Upon hearing the news of the First Master and Tong Shen Zhi's return, everyone rushed out to greet them. Tong Xiyan threw himself into the First Master's arms, crying, while Tong Xiyu clutched the First Master's sleeve and sobbed softly. Tong Minzhi stood nearby, looking at the First Master with a face full of hope, while the two concubines stood aside, wiping their tears desperately.
The First Master and Tong Shen Zhi's eyes also turned slightly red.
Fortunately, both were uninjured. It seemed that no torture was applied.
