Chapter 272: Lu Yuan Returns, The Truth Emerges

Today, the autumn skies are clear and refreshing. Lu Yuan, who had been away from the Capital City for several days, finally returned home.

As he arrived at the entrance, he saw the tightly stationed Imperial Guards.

Yu Zichuan, sitting atop the carriage, exclaimed, "Has the house been burglarized?"

Lu Yuan stepped off the carriage with a grave expression.

The Imperial Guards saluted him uniformly and said, "Greetings, Grand Commander!"

Lu Yuan glanced at them and responded with a hum before striding into the residence.

He first went to Meng Qianqian's courtyard.

Bai Yuwei was also present.

A flicker of peculiarity crossed his eyes as he sized up Bai Yuwei. "What are you doing here?"

Bai Yuwei, who had just been tricked by Meng Qianqian, was fuming inside. She glared at Lu Yuan and retorted sharply, "Why not? You've been away for days, neglecting the household. Why should you care?"

Lu Yuan found her words utterly baffling.
