Not daring to say another word, his subordinate immediately took the portrait and exited the room.
Beitang Rui remained standing with his hands behind his back for a while, his pleasant mood snuffed out because of Yuan Xin. In the end, he decided to go to his concubine's courtyard.
…
The servants created quite a racket during their search.
Yuan Xin knew what the commotion outside was about, but she remained seated calmly in her room and did not let her servants rouse Lu Liangwei from her sleep.
No matter what, Beitang Rui had to show her some respect. He could kick up the biggest disturbance out there, but it would not affect her courtyard.
She was still confident about that.
Thinking of something, she lifted a hand and touched the left side of her face, a pensive gloom in her eyes.
The servants ended their search in the evening empty-handed.
Long Chi was crestfallen. Had Lu Liangwei really fled the Prince Rui Mansion?
