Manbao exited the palace and specifically instructed Daji to take a detour to the Marquis Mansion.
Since the case was considered solved, the imperial guards who had been accompanying her to and from the palace withdrew. With only one carriage, they quickly arrived at the Marquis Mansion.
Many commoners gathered outside the Marquis Mansion to see the commotion. Of course, most were servants sent by nearby households.
The crying inside was deafening, as people continuously moved boxes out. Some valuable screens, tables, and chairs were also being moved out and loaded onto carts.
Manbao got out of the carriage, observed for a while, then looked around and found a soldier who seemed familiar. She asked, "Is Lord Tang here? I have something to say to him."
Manbao found the soldier familiar, but he directly recognized her. After a glance, he turned and entered the Marquis Mansion.
