Feng Tianyou took a deep breath and asked with forced calmness, "Are you certain about the news?"
Feng Cien looked straight at him, "Father, whether the news is true or not, we must be prepared. We cannot afford to be too passive, otherwise, our loved ones will be the ones to suffer. Whether Li Xiang will betray us can be determined tonight at Zi Hour, but for now, we need to make arrangements for the safety of our family. It would be best if they could leave quietly without anyone noticing."
"Leaving quietly seems somewhat impossible."
Feng Cien thought for a moment and then suggested, "Father, have you forgotten? Tomorrow is the first day of the lunar month, and Mother is a devout Buddhist. Why not have her take the ladies to Changxing Temple early in the morning to offer incense? After that, they can rest at the villa not far from the temple. We acquired that villa this year; it may be simple, but it has the necessary furniture."
