Qi Qingzhu was still in charge of washing the lady's clothes. She was thinking about where to find Qingyao as she was washing the clothes when she saw that Jiang Siliu had returned. She had entered the house angrily and after a while, a maid had come out saying that the lady was packing up her clothes, the kind of luggage that made it seem like she would be traveling far. The maids in the courtyard suddenly exploded and went into a flurry. They did not dare to ask Jiang Siliu about what had happened, so they could only run to ask the steward about what had happened. The steward of the Jiang residence was also bewildered, and she hurriedly went to ask the second young master who had returned with the lady.
Half an hour later, the steward returned and told all the maids in the compound, "The lady got into a bet with someone and lost. She needs to leave Qingzhou City immediately!"
"What?"
The maids were absolutely dumbfounded.
