Before Liang Wan could even rise, Cao Luyun had already stormed out the door, presumably to find Lu Xiu.
Her maid scurried after her.
Liang Wan simply turned to Shuangjiang and said, "Go find out who's been gossiping again."
Shuangjiang bowed her head. "Yes."
Only after giving the order did she leave with Bai Lu.
By the time Liang Wan caught up, she saw Cao Luyun blocking Lu Xiu at the entrance to Beixuan, speaking through sobs.
It looked as if she was begging Lu Xiu, pleading for the Lu Family to intervene.
As Liang Wan drew closer, she could only hear Lu Xiu agreeing to let her enter the palace in a few days to visit the Empress.
Beyond that, nothing more.
Having failed to get the answer she wanted, Cao Luyun covered her face and wept, her eyes red.
Shuangjiang supported Cao Luyun as she walked over. It was clear she was very anxious and helpless.
In the South Garden, the attendants were dismissed from the room, leaving only the two of them.
"Cao Jun is dead."
