Chapter 1049: Leaving the Beast Forest IV

“This… What should we do? Lord Mu is dead, should we go back and report it?”

“Report what? We have failed to protect Lord Mu. The marquis loves Lady Yuan so much, for sure we will pay with our lives! So, we better quickly run away. Managing to escape for one day more is an additional day to stay alive! Once we go back, we will have no way of coming back out again!”

“Ever since Lady Yuan has entered the manor, all the loyal ministers in the marquis' manor have been sentenced to death due to slander. Even the marchioness has died just because she had given Lady Yuan a slap. Do you think we still have any reason to stay in this kind of place?”

Everyone looked at each other and came to a conclusion in their hearts. They left in a rush without being bothered about Mu Yu.

Marquis City.

In Marquis Zheng's Manor, a young butler rushed in with his forehead covered in sweat and eyes darting around in anxiousness.

“Lady Yuan, Lady Yuan! This is bad. Something has happened to Lord Mu Yu!”

In the eastern courtyard.

Lady Yuan was lounging on her side, with the warm sun s.h.i.+ning on her body. Two servants holding fans stood on each of her sides, gently fanning her.

When she heard the commotion coming from nearby, Lady Yuan looked up and saw the little butler running in, causing her to frown.

Her personal servant immediately saw that she was annoyed so, she stood up and shouted, “Can't you see that the lady is resting? How huge is that matter that you are kicking up such a fuss?”

The little butler was panting and covered in sweat. “Lady Yuan, Lord Mu has pa.s.sed away!”

Lady Yuan was holding a cup of water that a servant had brought to her. Hearing that after taking a sip from the cup, her hand trembled from shock, causing the cup to slip and fall to the floor.

Her face paled, her eyes contained surprise and sorrow. Her body swayed and it was a good thing that the servant behind her had caught her. It was only then that she had managed to stabilize her body.

“You… What did you say just now?”

“Lady Yuan, Lord Mu was hurt in the beast forest!”

Lady Yuan's face turned white. She lightly rubbed her forehead, shaking her head in disbelief.
