"Madam, the Master requests your presence!"
The maid bowed deeply as she spoke.
"The Master has finished his seclusion?"
Situ Yan's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she headed towards the Xiao Family Hall.
In the hall of the Xiao Family, a middle-aged man sat leisurely sipping tea in a pear wood chair, dressed in a white practice outfit. With a square face, thick eyebrows, and a hint of stubble, he exuded an air of authority.
This man was none other than Xiao Ding, the Head of the Xiao Family, Situ Yan's husband, and also Xiao Yifeng's granduncle.
At this moment, Situ Yan slowly walked in, her gaze landing on Xiao Ding.
"How come you finished your seclusion so early?"
Situ Yan seated herself in front of Xiao Ding.
"I had a bit of a breakthrough, so I came out early. However, Madam, I heard that something happened recently. That guard of yours, Leng Mian, was stripped to a human skeleton. What's going on?"
Xiao Ding put down his teacup and looked at Situ Yan.
