章 123: Su Niang's Problem

In an instant, so many thoughts entered Kong Rui's mind that she could no longer think rationally. She was about to carefully examine the gem when she heard a commotion outside the door.

The house they lived in was located in the deepest part of the inner courtyard of Fragrant Garden. Ordinary people wouldn't come to this place. No matter how much of a ruckus the guests in the front courtyard caused, they would at most reach the atrium and not the depths of the inner courtyard.

Kong Rui and Chao Bai exchanged looks

and immediately put away the wooden box.

Chao Bai didn't immediately remove the barrier. Just in case, it was better not to let anyone outside notice that there were people in this room for the time being.

The two of them heard someone shouting in the courtyard, "Call that woman, Su Niang, out!"

A man raised his voice and stood in the courtyard while shouting Su Niang's name.
