Chương 429: Chapter 404: Smart Teaching_1

Upon returning to the manor, Yan Zhigao immediately went to the front courtyard to dispatch the government officials to search for people. Daohua exchanged a few words with Elder Madam Yan, Madam Li, and others before finding an excuse to return to her own courtyard.

"Manman, go tell Brother Xiaoliu to pay extra attention to the front courtyard. If there is any news, he must come to inform me immediately."

By nightfall, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai had still not returned. There was no news from Qin Wu or the Yan Family's Protectors either, although the government officials had returned, they had found nothing.

During dinner, both Yan Wenxiu and Daohua seemed somewhat distracted, drawing several looks from Elder Madam Yan and Madam Li.

Yan Zhigao was also anxious, but years of being an official had trained him to never let his emotions show. Seeing his eldest son and daughter unsettled by the situation, he took them aside after dinner for a talk.
