A catastrophe suddenly occurred at Xingshan Temple, and when the news reached the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone was shocked.
Aunt Bai and Madam Quan were buried beneath the collapsed house, Hai Yan committed suicide in panic, and several lives vanished just like that.
Mrs. Lu repeatedly questioned the servant Cheng Yong, who had come to report. She felt a mixture of gratification and a touch of dread, wondering why it happened so suddenly.
Song Ci and the others also found it abrupt. How could a peaceful trip to the temple to pray end in such loss of life?
"Where is your master?" Song Ci asked Cheng Yong.
Kneeling on the ground, Cheng Yong replied, "The master is still at the temple. He sent me back to report and to take care of the arrangements for Aunt Bai's remains. Also..."
He looked somewhat embarrassed to speak.
Seeing this, Song Ci raised an eyebrow, thinking, surely that little brat must be up to something mischievous again.
