After saying that, she glanced at Wei Qinglou one last time, then turned and left without looking back.
Wei Qinglou was left alone in the water, motionless.
In the end, the guards clinging to the courtyard wall realized that if they didn't go down and help the man up, their young master would probably have to soak in the water all night. Even if the young master didn't punish them, they would have to return to the capital and commit suicide to atone for their sins.
When the madam saw Zhu Jiayu leave Xingyunfang with a cold expression, she raised her hand and tapped her forehead, thinking that she should have tried to persuade that young master when she saw him.
After all, that person seemed to be someone of considerable wealth and status. If something really happened to her Xingyunfang, she might face some trouble. With her hands clasped together and muttering "Amitabha, forgive me," she hurried toward the side courtyard.

Just as she was about to take her leave, she heard the refined-looking young man in front of her say in a calm voice, "Are you very familiar with her?"
The madam said, "Haha, well, we're not that close..." She stopped mid-sentence, then, seeing the guard standing behind the young master silently draw his sword, calmly changed her words, "Actually, we are quite close, aren't we? Whatever you want to know, young master, I will answer without reservation."
Wei Qinglou nodded: "Let's talk upstairs."
