"Did the Madam return with the Marquis and Lu Rou?" Chuner asked a maidservant.
"She did not. The Marquis returned to the estate with only Concubine Lu; the Madam was nowhere to be seen."

Everyone knew how deeply Duke Xu doted on the Madam; how could he have remained indifferent after learning of Lu Rou’s existence? If Lu Rou had returned safely, it could only mean that something had gone wrong on the Madam’s end.
