When Zhu Yu was abruptly awakened from her sleep, she was still somewhat confused about the situation. Instinctively, she hurriedly got up, only to be held by Lu Qing, who was already sitting by the bed.
"Don't panic. The sounds are distant and not around the side courtyard. It should have nothing to do with us," he softly comforted Zhu Yu.
After hearing his words, Zhu Yu felt slightly more at ease. However, to be cautious, she straightened her clothes, which she hadn't changed out of, and re-tied her hair, ready for any unexpected situation.
Once she was fully awake, Zhu Yu realized that the noises seemed indeed far from their side courtyard, yet the commotion was significant. There were no sounds of shouting, but constant cries and screams could be heard.
"What's happening? Could there be chaos within the Fanwang Mansion?" Zhu Yu asked worriedly.
