Lu Zhao sat up in bed while instinctively wrapping his arms around Luo Ying to shield her. He spoke angrily, "What's going on? Why the dramatic entrance? Has my home turned into a free-for-all for uninvited guests?"
"Young Master Lu, I apologize for the intrusion. We're acting upon Old Master's wishes," the butler said in a slick tone.
"What does the old man want from me?" Lu Zhao snapped.
Though he knew that killing Lu Wen would inevitably lead to this, the forceful invasion still left him deeply angered.
"Old Master wants you and Miss Luo to visit the ancestral residence. He wishes to discuss matters with both of you," the butler stated as his eyes leered at Luo Ying.
Lu Zhao gently pushed Luo Ying behind him and stated firmly, "I can go, but Luo Ying stays."
