As they passed the entrance of Lin'an Prefecture, Wen'er exclaimed, "Dad, come and look, what has happened to the people of Duke An's Mansion? Why have they all been locked up? There are so many government soldiers…"
Mu Zhongqing raised his body and looked outside following his son's voice. In front of Duke An's Mansion, a large group of flamboyantly dressed women were being driven out, their cries shaking the heavens. The Old Madame was already paralyzed and unable to move, being supported shakily by two daughters-in-law, appearing as if she could collapse at any moment. The three Madams were also crying, but not as loudly as the Misses, who were disheveled and beating their chests and stomping their feet. Their piercing cries lingered in the air, audible to almost half of the Capital's populace; there were also a few young Young Masters, clutching at their mother's clothes and jumping and wailing.
