"These people haven't caught them yet," Shen Qinglan whispered, "Let's go downstairs and ask."
Du Bingxue nodded. The two were just about to go downstairs when the shopkeeper came up holding a platter of fruit and whispered, "Ladies, please come with me!"
The two heard this and quickly followed the shopkeeper back into the private room.
The shopkeeper looked around cautiously outside the door for a moment before closing it and coming in, whispering, "Emperor Liu has been assassinated, the palace is in chaos."
"What?" Du Bingxue and Shen Qinglan exclaimed in shock simultaneously, "What happened?"
"I'm not quite sure about this," the shopkeeper said, "Just now the Young Master sent a letter saying there is chaos outside, and instructed you two ladies not to leave the Food Sea Building for the time being."
"Understood," Shen Qinglan looked at the shopkeeper and said, "You may go now."
The shopkeeper nodded and then opened the door to leave.
