Old Master Tan was displeased, but considering the other party was the influential Monarch Lu Xiang, having come all this way, it seemed unlikely they would leave without meeting.
He could only suppress his anger and forced himself to say, "Alright, Monarch Lu Xiang, please follow me."
Shu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed Old Master Tan towards the backyard.
Just as they reached the Gate of Drooping Flowers, they suddenly saw Mrs. Tan leading a massive group of maids and house servants, striding towards them aggressively.
Old Master Tan was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What's happened?"
Mrs. Tan, furious, said, "That old fool and the young girl have escaped. I clearly ordered them to be locked in the room and had someone guarding outside. Somehow, they disappeared without a trace. I think..."
She was so enraged that she didn't even notice Old Master Tan signaling her with his eyes.
