Qin Yuan first invited Doctor Li and Xiao Dong into the main hall for a brief rest, letting the little maid serve tea and snacks, before following Hong Ye to the main room.
On the way, Hong Ye whispered to Qin Yuan, "The Marquis came looking for you three times today. Later, when he saw you weren't around, he asked where you had gone. We didn't dare hide it from him, so we had to tell him you went with Doctor Li to the courtyard to see a patient. The Marquis's face turned as dark as thunder; I didn't even dare to look."
Qin Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "If he is the Thunder Lord, then could it be that I am the Lightning Mother?"
Hong Ye couldn't help but laugh as well, feeling less anxious.
Qin Yuan continued, "Where can you find such a handsome Thunder Lord as our Marquis? The depictions of the Thunder God in books show him as a burly man."
As they spoke, the two entered the inner chamber.
