A life was on the line, and with Su Wei accompanying her, no one dared to stand in Ye Chutang's way.
She followed the young maidservant deeper inside. As they passed through the central courtyard, she saw blood splattered on the ground.
A violent conflict had clearly erupted here a short time ago. Su Pei'er must have been injured because of it.
Ye Chutang quickened her pace.
「...」
Inside, Ye Heng was pacing back and forth, filled with agitation.
Hearing footsteps outside, he immediately looked up, only to see the last face he wanted to see.
"Ye Chutang!?" Ye Heng's brows knitted together.
'How did she get here so fast!?'
However, Ye Chutang merely gave him a slight nod before heading toward the inner room, as if unwilling to waste any time on him.
Just as Ye Heng started to follow, he heard Ye Chutang's voice.
"Close the door. Everyone not involved, please leave."
BANG—!
The young maidservant slammed the door shut!
