Wu Jinmai's POV
I was writing in my study when I heard Xu Jiaxu's scream in the front garden. I put down the paintbrush. I closed the book and tied it before I stood up to check the situation outside.
"Su Jia fixed the mess here," I remarked. She's the one who is with me as I write important details of our journey. "Understood, your highness," she replied.
I opened the door and headed into the garden. I frowned. Father-in-law was here, and he was playing with Shanguan Zu Jin.
"What is happening here?" I questioned. A'Zu glared at Xu Jiaxu. "Look what you've done," he roars at him.
They all bow their heads. "Greetings, your highness!" they exclaimed. "Arise. Answer my question instead," I remarked.
Xu Jiaxu looks at me, then to his young master. "The empress was already here. Just speak," he stated. He finally speaks.
