"Quickly go out and find out what exactly happened at the distillery?" Old Mrs. Xu said anxiously, her tone tinged with panic.
Could it be that what Shen Ruoxi said is true? Tai is not her nominal nephew from the Tang Family Castle, but the son of that fearsome Demon Sect Hierarch?
"Yes, I'll go right away!" Nanny Hou responded respectfully and then turned to leave.
Old Mrs. Xu felt uneasy, sitting on pins and needles, anxiously awaiting the news Nanny Hou would bring back.
However, after just a moment, Nanny Hou hurried back.
Old Mrs. Xu was startled and nervously asked, "Why, why are you back so soon?"
Nanny Hou's expression was grave as she whispered, "Ma'am, Shen Ruoxi just gave orders to the gatekeeper to forbid anyone from our courtyard from leaving the mansion. I can't get out now!"
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xu instantly felt a wave of weakness, as if she lost all her support, collapsing into her chair.
