Governor Lei Ming looked at his mother with a long frown. The total opposite of the ear to ear grin of Madame Lei after hearing the news that they didn't find Xinyi. He couldn't believe his mother was enjoying this. Bummer, what kind of mother he had?
His regrets for his wrong judgments and mistakes mixed in with equal proportions with his frustrations as a Governor who couldn't even find his lost wife bothered him greatly. To avoid the problem of shoot up, he had restricted and warned the helpers of the consequences of spreading the news that Xinyi was missing.
With his mind full of the situation, he hadn't even thought of asking why Madame Lei was interested in finding Xinyi by herself. He only thought his mother was only worried for him and from meeting the prime minister's anger if he learned his daughter was gone. Mostly, if this reached the king's ear, then it would be over for them and the whole clan.
