Ren Baqian knew with one look that Shen Feng had been beaten up by Qing Yuan and Hong Luan.
He only managed to pry the details out after multiple rounds of questioning.
As the house was empty most of the time, Shen Feng would drop by every now and then to ensure that it was well maintained. It was the same this time, except that she was knocked down by two people the moment she stepped in.
Ren Baqian had always assumed that Shen Feng was a decently skilled expert, but even so, she was quickly beaten up by those two before she could even see their faces.
Qing Yuan and Hong Luan saw the villa as a temporary imperial residence, so anyone entering without the empress's permission was committing a capital offense. Shen Feng had brought up Ren Baqian's name, but the two of them wouldn't budge. Instead, they insisted that her punishment would be meted out when Ren Baqian returned.
No matter what she said, Qing Yuan and Hong Luan simply wouldn't listen.
