The old Duke and Princess Sheng An were having their dinner. The Duchess was also invited to stay for dinner by the Princess. Halfway through their meal, they were informed that the Crown Prince had arrived. They immediately put down their chopsticks and hurried to meet him.
It should be noted that, Crown Prince Yan Huisheng, in order to avoid suspicion, had rarely set foot in the Duke's Residence over the years, except for the holidays or the birthdays of the old Duke and Princess Sheng An.
The last time he visited was when Zhou Gu was critically injured and on the brink of death.
Now, he is visiting again, only the second time this year.
The saying goes, "You don't come if there's nothing important," so Yan Huisheng's late visit to the Duke's Residence must mean something is amiss.
The first person they thought of was Zhou Gu. They feared that some bad news about Zhou Gu had reached Yan Huisheng, prompting his hurried visit.
