Once the old steward and his men finished cleaning up, they would naturally have to return and report the situation to Aunt Zhao.
Given how much Aunt Zhao doted on him, she would never have the heart to scold him for leading a large group of people to Xilingzi last night for such a dangerous affair. Instead, she was bound to take her anger out on the old steward and the others.
'Poor old steward…'
He had promised he'd make sure the old steward was fine, but then he came back and conked right out.
'I figure Aunt Zhao must have caught him and chewed him out all morning.'
'When it came to him, Aunt Zhao was always cooing about her sweetheart and darling.'
'But with others…'
'Her tongue-lashings could be incredibly nasty.'
Arriving quickly at the main hall in the front courtyard, Lu Yuan walked in to see a row of people kneeling.
They were the leaders of the Travelers from last night.
Of course, the old steward, Li Fu, was no exception.
He was kneeling at the very front.
