A few nights later.
Dong dong dong—
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang!"
Xu Yun, who was about to sleep fully clothed, had just lain down when he was woken by the knocking on the door outside.
What also made his heart tighten was the voice of the person knocking:
It was neither Zhang San nor Yongzhu, but...
Mr. Xie, the Old Chief Steward!
"Coming, coming, just a moment!"
Guessing some matters, Xu Yun quickly dressed and walked to the door, opening it with a somewhat surprised expression:
"Old Chief Steward? Why are you here?"
Mr. Xie lowered his eyebrows, holding a lantern in one hand, and said:
"Brother Wang, the master has requested you in the study. It's best you come with me quickly."
Xu Yun took a deep breath, composed himself, and nodded:
"Then I'll trouble the Old Chief Steward to lead the way."
Mr. Xie nodded slightly and made a gesture inviting him.
The two proceeded under the night light and soon arrived outside Old Su's study.
