"So what? Just because it involves her, my grandson won't be found?"
"My lord, the entanglement in this matter is too deep. I am only worried that this might be a trap. Your relationship with the lady has not been good over the years; it is possible that someone is trying to sow discord between you."
"My lord, why not inform the lady now? It would make our search less obstructed."
Shi Yun scoffed, "Sow discord? Ha! Does my relationship with her really need someone to do that? She hates me to the bone and sees me as the most despicable murderer of her son."
"If she finds out, not only will she not cooperate, but she will also do everything in her power to hinder us. Moreover, if Kuan is indeed captured by someone related to her, she would mercilessly kill him as revenge against me."
"But the identity of Little Master has yet to be verified."
"I have risen from the depths of the prison; I have enough judgment to know that Kuan is my grandson, Shi Yun's grandson."
Once outside the courtyard and heading towards the main area, Shi Yun encountered two groups of people. One was his own troupe led by Qi Xiaomian.
The other group was Wen Zhaojun, who, fearing a lack of manpower, had called upon her cousin Meng Yi.
As the three groups converged, they stirred quite a commotion in the city, lighting up countless homes. Even the emperor in the deep palace was awakened by the noise.
Sang Qingxiao, who had come along with Meng Yi, looked reproachfully at Qi Xiaomian. "What are you doing out here so late?"
"We are from The Office of Censors! We must be the first to know what’s happening. With the Chancellor making such a big fuss, we need to be prepared for when His Majesty asks about it; I need something to say."
"Besides, it seems the Chancellor doesn’t mind having extra strength; he appears quite pleased with it. So I thought I might as well join in on the excitement."
After saying this, he still seemed displeased. "His carriage is quite comfortable; didn’t you see there are several women in this entourage? In this cold weather, you let them walk alongside."
"The news about your grandson came from you all; surely you should show some courtesy for the benefits received," Qi Xiaomian remarked loudly.
Shi Yun felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing this; he had been too anxious and careless. He stepped aside to let them pass and took a seat on the driver's bench.
Before getting on the carriage, Sang Qingxiao was handed a small hand warmer by Qi Xiaomian.
Following Xiao Ye's guidance, they drew closer to their destination.
After Wang Kuan revealed his identity, the housekeeper felt a wave of panic. Hearing this story made it sound plausible; combined with his emotional state, he couldn't help but believe it.
With doubts creeping into his heart, he hesitated and couldn't bring himself to act.
He didn't even bother sending a message; instead, he turned and rushed into the inner courtyard. Wang Kuan had been alone for over half an hour. After learning about the progress of his rescue from Xiao Ye, he felt relieved despite his hands and feet being bound painfully.
The housekeeper finally returned, panting heavily. A burly man followed closely behind him with a fierce expression. The housekeeper stood at the door unwilling to step inside while the burly man strode forward confidently with a large weapon in hand.
