章 40: Chapter 39 Visitor from the General's Residence

"Mother, when I was leaving the city, I just happened to run into the butler from the General Residence, so we returned together," Xuanbao said.

The butler of the General Residence stepped forward and paid his respects to Granny Lei, looking sorrowful as he spoke, "Elder Madam Ruo, the old General has passed away. My mistress sent me to report the death."

Granny Lei was so shocked that she froze, "Passed away? How did this happen so suddenly? This... Butler, you must take good care of your mistress. We will tidy up at home and then come over."

Ruo Shui was also very surprised, "I haven't heard of any military conflicts recently!"

Shaxi County is located in the Nanzhou region of Xuanyuan Country, bordering the Nansha states. If there were military conflicts, the Governor's Office would issue a public notice.
