Chapter 364 Duke An's Mansion(2)_1

Steward Cao went off with a grin on his face.

Mu Zhongqing said with concern: "Lady Mei, I feel something's not quite right. That Steward Cao is being overly attentive. Considering your influence in this mansion, it just doesn't add up to why he'd go to such lengths."

Lady Du said: "I too sense something amiss, but my concerns for my mother override all else. If they truly harbour ill intent against me, not coming here wouldn't spare us. Given the power of the Duke's household, they could get rid of us easily. For now, let's just take it one step at a time."

Just as they were talking, Steward Cao returned and laughed: "Mistress, Son-in-law, please come with me. The Duke and all the lords are eager to meet you. Please come and meet your family!"

Lady Du and Mu Zhongqing looked at each other, nodded their heads, and with conflicting feelings, followed Steward Cao towards the main hall of the mansion.
