In the Elder Hall.

The seven elders gathered. The Third Elder held a bloodstained pouch in his hand. This pouch was given to her by Nie Wanrou's mother. She had been bringing it all along. Inside was a small bag of spices and some rouge from her daughter's house.

His daughter was missing, but his daughter's purse was stained with blood and picked up by the guards cleaning the event location. Who would believe that nothing had happened to his daughter?

The Third Elder gripped the pouch tightly and asked angrily, "Great Elder, what exactly is going on? What did the people you sent out do to Wanrou?"

The Great Elder retorted, "Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you! Do you know who brought those spies out of the Wen Manor and out of the Sorcerer Clan? It's your good daughter!"

The Third Elder said sternly, "She's also your granddaughter-in-law now!"
