Xiqiu couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
When they returned to the mansion in the evening, Biwu, seeing Fourth Master Xiao go in to wash up, relayed the afternoon's inquiries to Xiqiu: "I heard something happened at the Third Master's tavern, like someone died there. The victim's family is quite influential and is making a fuss, planning to file a grievance with the Emperor." Biwu added, "The other details the little maid doesn't understand!"
The tavern is said to be opened by Ren Jun on the surface, but everyone knows that Prince Rong also has a share. If something goes wrong, surely Prince Rong wouldn't just stand by. Judging from Tong Xiyang and Ren Jun's demeanor, it seems they are asking Fourth Master Xiao for help, doesn't it?
