Meng Wanning lived with her mother in the Meng Mansion, which was a different place from the Lu Residence where the other Mrs. Meng lived.
Thus, when the imperial guard stormed the Meng Mansion late at night, the several hundred people of the household were so frightened that they all threw on their clothes, got up, and gathered in the front courtyard.
The masters and mistresses of the various branches of the family, along with their children, were all trembling with fear, not knowing what had happened.
"Could it be that the verdict on your second uncle's case is in? Did he really kill that person?" Mrs. Meng, still unaware of the situation, held Meng Wanning's hand, guessing that Lu Shaoyuan's matter had escalated.
And Lu Shaoyuan's mother was a person of great importance in the Meng Family, so it was only natural that this would lead to a thorough investigation.
