In the evening, Zhou Shuren returned home, "Has there been any news from the Duke Residence?"
Zhulan had also been constantly worried, "The Duke Residence has sealed off the news, and the Empress has already been guarding there all afternoon."
Zhou Shuren gestured for the maids to leave, "The less news there is, the more it indicates that the issue is serious, the old lady's fainting is not simple."
Zhulan, "I originally guessed that it was Lady Du's attempt to take control, but from what you say, it seems even more complicated?"
Zhou Shuren grunted, "I just feel it's too coincidental. The Emperor had just decreed an investigation into the Zhang family this morning, and not long after, the old lady fainted. It's too coincidental not to make me think more about it."
