Chapter 620: Don't Leave Me Behind

Without thinking, Xin He furrowed her brows. This heavy atmosphere – could something else have happened?

In the study, there were seven to eight people scattered about. Xin He vaguely recognized them, most likely they were some high-ranking officials from Yu State. At this time, they all stood there, faces paler than ever, heads drooping and not daring to look up.

Marquis Mu Houchu sat leisurely at the main table, his expression unchanging. But from his thin lips, lightly sipped, Xin He guessed he might be slightly agitated.

"Why are you here?" Mu Houchu looked at Xin He, his cold gaze showing a hint of softness.

"I heard you haven't eaten all day and have been in the study, so I had food brought over," Xin He spoke softly as she walked over to him.

Upon hearing these words, the faces of the officials standing below changed once again.

Not understanding, Xin He asked, "What happened?"

Mu Houchu responded calmly, "Nothing major, just eat first."
