Butler Xia's face was full of tears. "Master doesn't know how to swim. I got someone to speed up and report to His Highness, but just as they left the house, they were stopped by Yu Cheng and his men. He even sent troops to surround our residence. He claimed that he was doing that to protect us, but he didn't allow us to spread the news."
Furious, Mu Yangling slapped the table beside her, instantly smashing it. "Zhou Zhou is from the side branch of the Zhou family. What's his relationship with Yu Cheng?"
Butler Xia knew that Mu Yangling was asking why they were colluding, so he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the moment something happened to the Duke, Assistant Commander Zhou sent people out to sea to search. The soldiers surrounding us were from the government office, and none of them were from the Naval Division."
In other words, Zhou Zhou and Yu Cheng were not on the same side.
