The lady of the house, Xia Weiyin, immediately attempted to contain the news, but how could she when there were other major clans' spies within the Li family?
Soon enough, she was contacted by the Thousand-Mile Communication Talisman. It was from the Xia family, her brother Xia Chuming, with whom she had a good relationship during their childhood. Xia Chuming beat around the bush, asking whether the news of her son-in-law's petrification was true and if the Xia family's help was needed.
Xia Weiyin knew many were watching every move of the Li family in Xin Xiang Province—it just never occurred to her that her own maiden family was keeping tabs as well.
She handled the inquiries smoothly, but it wasn't long before others contacted her via the Thousand-Mile Communication Talisman, this time her sisters from the Western Capital, from the Zhang family.
Xia Weiyin was overwhelmed with handling the situation, yet she knew the news could not be kept under wraps any longer.
