But outside the heavily guarded arched gate, a crowd of gaudily dressed women had gathered. Among them, standing closest to the gate, was a woman in a violet dress with a dignified, worried expression. It was none other than Aunt Kang, whom she had just seen two days ago!
The Maid beside her was speaking to one of the guards. "Could you please go in and announce us again? My mistress is truly worried about the Lord. Has anyone ever seen Divine Doctor Lu look so frantic before? Besides, he's been in there for almost a day and still hasn't come out.
My mistress only wants to know the Lord's current condition. Chief Chen will surely understand..."
The guard, stone-faced, didn't even glance at the Maid. He stated flatly, "Chief Chen has given his orders. The Lord needs to rest quietly. He will see no one!"
The Maid couldn't help but grit her teeth, a flash of hatred flickering in her eyes.
'It's always like this! Always!'
