"What happened? Why such panic?" Ma Yan got up, frowned, and asked.
Zhou Cang took a couple of breaths before speaking: "This morning's court meeting..."
"Court meeting? Nothing major happened at court today, what has made you so unsettled?" Ma Yan wondered.
Zhou Cang shook his head, accompanied by a gesture of his hand, and said:
"No, not the court meeting... aye, it's the morning court meeting... unimportant! It's urgent news from the Marine Road, Zhao Douan, Junior Guardian Zhao, and Zhuang Xiaocheng all died together, dead!"
Dead... dead... Zhao Douan is dead...
Ma Yan's mind blanked for a moment, staring blankly: "Did you say... what?!"
...
...
Zhao Residence.
Early this morning, Madam You Jinhua pulled her daughter out of bed and ordered the servants to do a thorough cleaning of the mansion.
Well, mainly according to custom, all bedding and bath towels are to be aired in the courtyard.
"Mother, why air bedding in this cold winter?"
