"This..." The servant stammered, unable to say anything coherent for a long while.
It seems that this eunuch was indeed secretly invited by the Fourth Master of the Chu Family. Whatever the purpose, it must not be revealed to Chu Wuyun, for she is the legitimate daughter of the Third Master.
Moreover, as far as Chen Muxue knew, the force behind the Chu Family in the original script had always been the Sixth Prince. Yet the Fourth Lady openly mentioned the Fifth Prince, indicating their allegiance differed from that of most in the Chu Family.
The family vaguely showed signs of standing behind the Sixth Prince, while the Fourth Master secretly aligned with the Fifth Prince. This was a grave taboo; a slight misstep would please neither side and result in double the bitter consequences.
