Lady Zhou once again addressed the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, I have failed in teaching my daughter. Please punish me accordingly."
Though Yin Xiaoxue was not her biological daughter, she had raised her from a young age and personally taught her. Claiming she had failed in her teachings was not an exaggeration.
The Empress Dowager said nothing, only turned to Xuanyuan Que, "Xuanbao is feeling unwell, let's take her back to the mansion first."
Thus, the Empress Dowager and Xuanyuan Que left with Ruo Xuan.
They left everyone kneeling on the ground, afraid to stand up or even breathe deeply for a long time.
The bigger the issue, the less was said.
Everyone felt that the Duke Residence was in for major trouble this time.
Only when they believed the Empress Dowager had gone far did they dare to stand up.
Gao Yan was the first to bid farewell to the lady of the Duke Residence and leave.
Follwwing her, the others began leaving quickly as if a mechanism had been released.
