Unfortunately, no matter how Sikong Mo interrogated him, Qing Yan refused to speak.

"Commandery Princess... Commandery Princess, something bad has happened, a major incident..." Just as the sky was faintly lighting up, Ye Jiu had not yet risen from bed when urgent shouts were heard outside.
Startled, Ye Jiu sat up abruptly from the bed, "What's wrong?"
Just then, the door was flung open, and Nuan Dong, panting heavily, disregarded the decorum and said, "Commandery Princess, the Jinzhong Marquis Residence was attacked last night, and the old lady and the fourth lady are missing!"
"What..." Ye Jiu's heart was instantly seized with panic. She quickly got out of bed, threw on some clothes, and ran outside.
Nuan Dong called out from behind, "The Crown Prince has already taken people to the Jinzhong Marquis Residence, Commandery Princess, slow down..."
However, Ye Jiu, who had already run far, had not heard Nuan Dong's reminder at all.
