Chapitre 294: Failure on the First Try

Only a plume of black smoke could be seen rising above a certain courtyard, accompanied by a pungent burning smell spreading through the air, causing everyone to become highly alarmed.

"That seems to be the courtyard that the Eldest Miss got people to empty out!"

" The Eldest Miss went in there early this morning and she still has not come out from there ever since!"

"What's going on? Did something happen?"

When Old Patriarch Feng heard the noise, he came running out as well and peered all around. When he saw that smoke was spewing up from one of the courtyards, he was rather alarmed as he asked: "What is going on over there?"
