Chapter 547: Drama (2) (1/2)

The married ladies who had lived in the Ying Estate all accepted Xiao Bojian’s answer, as they knew that this courtyard was indeed close to where Old Duchess Ying stayed. If he had been on his way to greet her, they could see why he had passed by this place.

Besides, most of the capital knew about Xiao Bojian’s circumstances. He had come from a poor family, so he had been living in the Ying Estate ever since the imperial examination. He was a highly regarded student of Old Duke Ying and a famous figure in the Imperial College. There were many young noblemen and officials who were friends with him.

Miss Yuan had already run out of patience before He Changdi had the chance to reply.

She took a step forward, inquiring as if she were worried, “Sixth Brother-in-law, where’s Sixth Sister? My mother told me that she brought Sixth Sister here so she could change out of her clothes.”

The attention of the crowd was once again focused on He Changdi. Some of them even tried to sneak peeks behind He Changdi.

He Sanlang coldly looked at Chu Yuan.

His frosty gaze made Chu Yuan shiver subconsciously, but she forced herself to maintain eye contact with He Changdi.

“Is Sixth Sister still inside? We’re all her sisters, why isn’t she coming out to talk to us?”

He Changdi kept the same chilly expression on his handsome face as he remained silent, a clear refusal to answer Miss Yuan. He stood in front of the room’s entrance like a solid pine tree.

Although everyone wanted to push He Sanlang away to take a look at what was happening inside, they didn’t dare to get closer to him.

While both sides were in a deadlock, some new arrivals entered the courtyard.

This time, it was the first branch’s lady-in-charge, Madam Rong, along with the couple from the second branch.

The moment he entered, Chu Qizheng roared, “What on earth is going on!?”

Seeing that her saviour had come, Chu Yuan quickly went over to Second Master’s side, “Father, you’re here! Sixth Sister has been doing that sort of thing in our estate! Please send someone in to take a look!”

Chu Qizheng’s expression sunk, “What’s going on!”
