The Herbal Scents of Chapter 2721 - 2722: Is It Really Possible?

Chapter 2721: Chapter 2722: Is It Really Possible?

"Yes, Master."

The secret guard responded, turned around, and left the room.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Madam Yuan approaching with her maid.

"Madam."

"Mm."

Madam Yuan nodded towards him.

"Does the Master have any urgent matters?"

"No, Madam," the secret guard replied.

"Alright."

Madam Yuan took a deep breath, turned to her maid beside her.

"You stay outside."

After speaking, she lifted her foot and pushed the study door open to enter.

"What else... Madam, why are you here?" The head of the Yuan Family initially thought it was the secret guard returning, but upon looking up and seeing his wife, he imdiately stood up and asked.

"Isn’t it all because of the Ling Family’s affairs?"

Madam Yuan glared at her husband irritably and then sighed lightly.

"What does the Ling Family’s matter have to do with us? Madam, you are overthinking."

The head of the Yuan Family walked over to Madam Yuan, helped her sit on a nearby chair, and then found a chair for himself.

"How can that be overthinking?"

Hearing his words, Madam Yuan was at a loss for words, truly worried about her husband’s intelligence.

"Master, why don’t you think about where Ling Xue’er went? Who did she leave with?"

How could the head of the Yuan Family not know this?

Ling Xue’er left with their son to the Vast Forest. Before leaving, he, as her father, had instructed his son to take good care of Ling Xue’er in the Vast Forest.

Thinking of this, he secretly regretted it. Why couldn’t he think straight and wanted to match his son with Ling Xue’er?

Luckily, his son’s discerning eyes, like his mother’s, never took a liking to Ling Xue’er.

"This... I certainly know."

"Since you know, then you should realize that Ling Xue’er couldn’t have offended the Lord of the City in Sky City but must have offended soone or taken sothing she shouldn’t have from the Vast Forest, which completely offended the City Lord."

Madam Yuan continued.

"This..."

He had thought of this point earlier too.

But what could he do? Ling Xue’er and the Ling Family seed bent on self-destruction, and he couldn’t stop them.

"It’s nothing, right? It’s not related to our Yuan Family anyway."

"Jue’er was leading the team, and Ling Xue’er was one of Jue’er’s team mbers." Seeing that he hadn’t thought that far, Madam Yuan reminded him.

"Moreover, our Yuan Family usually maintains good relations with the Ling Family. The City Lord might bla our Yuan Family due to the Ling Family’s affairs!"

"This... Really?"

Tianlan, the City Lord, has always distinguished between public and private matters.

He wouldn’t vent his personal grievances with the Ling Family onto the Yuan Family, would he? If this got out, how would everyone view the City Lord’s Mansion?

"Although it’s unlikely, if the City Lord’s Mansion were to avoid dealings with our Yuan Family, it would be troubleso enough for us," Madam Yuan said.

"Besides, we still don’t know how exactly the Ling Family offended the City Lord’s Mansion."

"Then how about... I send soone to inquire?" the head of the Yuan Family suggested.

Madam Yuan: "..."

Was her husband seeking death?

At this crucial mont, even those closest to the Ling Family wouldn’t dare to inquire casually, right?
