Meanwhile, Shen Qing and Yu Jiuqing waited patiently in the dining hall for the servants they had sent out to return with news.
Since she had sent Qilin to stay by Sima Yu's side, Shen Qing wasn't worried that something bad had happened to her. But Sima Yu's sudden disappearance this afternoon showed that the matter they had discussed this morning had clearly put her under a great deal of pressure.
