Three days later, the Human Emperor, Dugu Jingtian, summoned Duke Fu, Bai Daqing.
"Your Majesty, what urgent matter do you have for summoning me in such a hurry?" Bai Daqing asked, with a puzzled expression.
"Um... I heard... that Dongfang Jian has divorced your daughter?" Dugu Jingtian asked, while closely observing Bai Daqing's facial expression. He clearly saw Bai Daqing's whole face darken as he posed the question.
"Indeed, good news stays behind doors, while bad news travels far and wide," Bai Daqing said with a bitter smile and a shake of his head. "I didn't expect that even Your Majesty would hear of this, sigh! It's shameful! Truly a great disgrace!"
"That... do you know why Dongfang Jian divorced your daughter?" Dugu Jingtian asked softly.
"I don't know," Bai Daqing shook his head. "The incident happened so suddenly, I still haven't figured out what's going on."
"There were no signs beforehand?"
