As for Mu Qingge, she momentarily glanced at Qin Jinhao amidst the crowd, and the two discreetly exchanged looks before tacitly turning away.
Just as they were hastening to the study, another group also emerged from the Inner Courtyard, their destination being the study engulfed in flames.
This group was led by Mu Lianrong and included the Mu Family's ladies, among whom were Bai Xiyue and her servant.
For the Coming of Age Ceremony, traditionally women were not allowed to attend; instead, a separate gathering was held in the Inner Courtyard for the family's ladies to partake in the celebration.
Both groups hurriedly approached and finally met outside the courtyard gate before entering the study.
"Father, what happened?" Upon meeting, Mu Lianrong immediately inquired.
Mu Xiong slowly shook his head: "I just arrived as well."
