Unexpectedly, three days passed, and Princess Consort had not received a reply.
Growing increasingly anxious, Princess Consort personally sent Auntie Fu to inquire.
Feeling the urgency of the matter, she couldn't afford any further delay. What would the Crown Prince think of her if she couldn't handle such a simple task?
To her dismay, Auntie Fu returned with troubling news for Princess Consort: Mr. Xie had left the capital, intending to visit friends in Gubei and wouldn't be back for a month or two. It was also possible that he might not return to the capital anytime soon, depending on his mood.
Princess Consort was dumbfounded.
In fact, her maternal family, the Fu family, was equally stunned. They dared not take the initiative to inform her that Young Master Xie had left a message and departed. The news had left them searching for words.
