"My fourth brother was fine when he returned to the capital. How come he is like this after entering the palace? Even if he committed a huge mistake, you shouldn't be so cruel to him because he returned victorious from the battle..."
"Why are you crying? It's not time to cry yet." Old Madam Xiao took a deep breath and glanced at her three daughters-in-law one by one.
"Keep everyone in the mansion calm and don't let it get in chaos. Immediately send someone to find out why the Emperor punished the Fourth Brother."
The eldest sister-in-law nodded and said, "Mother, I will go to my parents' home to ask."

"Madam, the outside of the mansion is guarded by guards, and we servants are not allowed to go out."

“No—no—no air!?”
The second sister-in-law fell to the ground, pointing at the pale-faced Xiao Yunzhan, and tears instantly burst out.
