Ren Baqian walked up to the lecture stage and placed a book on the table. He glanced down and saw an empty space in the middle. Feeling a little puzzled, he asked, "Xu Peng, where's Du Laoliu? Why isn't he here?"
Xu Peng was already looking a little worried, and he didn't get any better when Ren Baqian questioned him. He stood up and replied, "Teacher, he can't make it today."
"Why?" Seeing Xu Peng's expression, Ren Baqian's heart suddenly tensed up.
Xu Peng pondered for a bit. Since the Du family and Tu family already knew about the situation, there was no need to hide it anymore.
"Du Laoliu eloped…"
Ren Baqian was shocked when he heard this.
The other students became tumultuous as well and looked at Xu Peng with a stunned look.
Du Laoliu actually eloped?
Ren Baqian immediately recalled the incident that he had witnessed at the pub. Both he and the empress saw everything very clearly.
