Father Wen asked the household guards to wait for a moment, then went back to tidy up and changed into clean clothes.
When he came out, he saw Mrs. Zhou standing outside the door watching him, "Where are you going?"
Father Wen said, "I have some matters to attend to in the county."
Mrs. Zhou frowned, "At this hour, you're still going to the county? Can you make it back by tonight?"
Father Wen said, "If I can't make it back, I'll stay in the county for the night and return early tomorrow."
"What exactly are you going to do?" Mrs. Zhou rarely saw Father Wen dress himself so neatly, even pulling out the new clothes he couldn't bear to wear.
She felt a vague unease.
Father Wen was in a hurry to leave. After a few words without patience, he left a remark, "Don't wait for me for dinner."
Ignoring Mrs. Zhou's shouts from behind, he boarded the carriage sent by the household guards and headed towards Pingjiang County.
The Eldest Princess reserved a private room in the teahouse.
