บท 229: Chapter 229: Rescue Alliance (1)

When several people arrived at Zongzheng Prefecture's separate residence at Lan Court, where Tinglan lived, several servants were anxiously looking around, and inside, an elder was ceaselessly wiping sweat from his forehead, now checking the eyes, now sitting down to feel the pulse. This is what Feng Xuxu saw upon her arrival at Orchid Garden.

When the elder in the room turned and saw his own Family Head, he came forward excitedly, "Family Head, the young mistress, she... I fear she might." The elder's crisscrossed face was filled with deep furrows, and he looked at Zongzheng Zehang with shame.

Upon hearing "I fear," Zehang became so agitated he could hardly calm down, grabbing the elder's arm and demanding, "You're deceiving me, aren't you?" His eyes wide open, he looked back and forth, refusing to miss even a hint of hope in the old man's eyes.
