The Duchess returned to the Duke Residence, making a beeline for Princess Sheng An's courtyard.
In Princess Sheng An's quarters, the ladies of the Residence had all gathered. They had heard the news that Su Rong been taken by Duanhua Princess to the Princess Residence, which was a significant matter. All came together to wait for news with the senior princess.
Waiting for about half an hour, the Duchess returned, prompting everyone to immediately ask, "What happened? Was it truly Lady Su Qi who was taken by Duanhua Princess to the Princess Residence? Has she been rescued?"
The Duchess let out a sigh, "She was not taken, but rather the young lady Xiaoqi willingly accompanied Duanhua to the Princess Residence for a visit."
The crowd collectively gasped.
