Chapter 35

The inauguration of Prince Xiaoyao was marked by a massive uproar following the gruesome deaths of the three major family patriarchs. After paying his respects to the Jiang family, Jiang Chen returned to the Emperor's Residence, showered, and changed his clothes. It was already past eight in the morning when he checked his phone for the time and discovered several missed calls and text messages. At the Tang residence, Tang Chuchu sat on her bed, staring intently at her phone. She had waited all night, but Jiang Chen had neither called nor texted. She had struggled to refrain from calling him, but after a sleepless night, she could no longer hold back. She had tried calling him several times, but no one answered, and her messages went unreturned. She was frantic.
