Upon hearing Xiaoyun's words.
Xiaoli, originally puzzled about how her maid could have ended up at the Old Su Mansion, was momentarily taken aback.
She suddenly sprang to her feet, even knocking over her chair without noticing, staring in shock at Xiaoyun:
"What? What's wrong with the master... what happened to him?"
Xiaoyun wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and choked out:
"The master was resting in the study when suddenly a group of people burst into the house and took him away..."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoli's pupils contracted, her body swayed slightly, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.
However, having once experienced exile with Old Li ten years ago, she steadied herself and asked:
"Without any proof or evidence, why did they arrest people?"
Xiaoyun shook her head, replying, aggrieved:
"Steward Chen asked the same question at the time but was rudely pushed aside by the leader, who is known as Zhao Yuanpeng..."
