As soon as the Old Madam decided to descend the mountain, the Second Madam immediately sent her personal maid to look for Lu Linglong. Unexpectedly, the maid returned with shocking news that Lu Linglong had been arrested by the Jinyi Guard.
The Second Madam's face turned pale. "Say that again! Who arrested Linglong?"
"The—the Jinyi Guard!" The maid answered fearfully, "And the Eldest Young Madam and her maid Tan'er—they've also been taken away."
Second Master Lu furrowed his brows. "Why would the Jinyi Guard arrest Qianqian and the others? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
The maid sobbed. "I—I saw it with my own eyes!"
Second Master Lu hurriedly asked, "Where are they now?"
The maid raised her hand and pointed. "Just… just outside the temple!"
Second Master Lu rushed after them, but a short while later, he returned with a heavy expression.
"How was it?"
The Second Madam anxiously inquired.
