Lady Ji didn't react for a moment, looking at Liu Neng in confusion.
Liu Neng gritted his teeth and, bracing himself, reported, "Earlier today, when the Princess of Nanjiang was attacked, didn't His Majesty send people to find the Second Young Master to treat her at the post station?
At the time, I sent people to search many places, but we couldn't find him. Later, I noticed activity in the Second Young Master's courtyard and assumed he had returned. So I went to inform him that the imperial examination results were announced today and our Eighth Young Master was on the list. I also thought you might be planning a celebration and wanted to remind him not to go out.
To my surprise, when I arrived, the Second Young Master wasn't there at all. The person in his courtyard was Zhao Fei, the disciple he had just accepted yesterday.
