Until Divine Doctor Zhang had finished his noon meal and taken his leave, the Old Madam was clearly distracted.
However, no sooner had Divine Doctor Zhang disappeared than she immediately ordered the maid to summon Situ Yongjie over.
Unexpectedly, the maid returned to report that the Old Master had left the mansion and had not yet returned.
The Old Madam then ordered the servants to wait at the main entrance, to bring him to the Refreshing Courtyard as soon as he returned, as she had urgent matters to discuss with him.
It was almost evening when Situ Yongjie, exhausted, finally returned.
"Old Master, the Old Madam requests your presence."
As soon as he entered the doorway, the maid stepped forward to block Situ Yongjie, bending halfway, and respectfully said.
Situ Yongjie furrowed his brows: "Did the Old Madam mention what it's about?"
"The maid is not sure." The maid hesitated, then added, "Ever since Divine Doctor Zhang left, the Old Madam has been restless."
