409 Breakthrough (First Update)

Ning Zhiyuan had a close friendship with Xiao Liulang, though outsiders were not too aware of this fact. It was only because this coachman, Old Wu the second, had stumbled upon them a few times that he knew Ning Zhiyuan and Xiao Liulang were quite close in private.

He was tight-lipped and didn't blab about it.

However, now that Ning Zhiyuan had an accident, Old Wu the second couldn't care less about keeping things to himself.

"What happened to Compiler Ning?" Xiao Liulang asked.

In an anxious and worried tone, Old Wu the second said, "He broke an antique inkstone in the Wenhua Pavilion, and they say it belonged to the late Emperor... What should we do? If they really start blaming, Compiler Ning's career won't survive this!"

Damaging the imperial family's possessions was indeed a serious taboo; not even Scholar Han could save Ning Zhiyuan.
